Game + Steam crash

[Rotn240]

I was told on discord I should report this issue.

now the last few weeks I've had a sudden crash of game and steam out of the blue no error, warning and very limited info in the logs from what I've been told

from what I've been told its just that there is a mention of the game crashing not much else, this has happen roughly about once a day, not sure if it's mod related, yet to test that out but if there were I suppose that would be in the logs.

wasn't able to get in with my default choice as html as that can't be uploaded here

I tried to google and reach out in discord google took me through the event viewer for application and system where there were no entries around the time of the crash

There is nothing about the crash in the log file. I would expect that there is an event for the program closing though.

I've been trying to find one, extensively after I read your reply with filtering for the expected ID's and time frames with no luck.

I did google some more and by default it seems that windows do not log creation and termination of programs, which makes me think that the only clues are in the game logs or steam. For steam I'm not sure which log file to provide some light on this.

I think I'll try to reach out to steam support for some light on this from their side as well even though I don't expect much from them. I'll update when there is an update to give or new clues and more attempts.

Steam crashing should create a factorio log entry but it just ends which suggests the OS killing it which should create an error event.

Agreed, I'll look more into it once it happens again. I'll update when it does and about my findings
