Graphical Issues on Wayland (Linux)

[Ze_Rubenator]

Didn't Factorio migrate from SDL2 to SDL3 recently? Could that have had an impact?

In my previous post, I'm also on X11, for whatever it might be worth.

Looks like every Wayland issue is related to Nvidia.
Folks, stop doing it to yourselves.

More data related to my earlier comments, confirming this happens near-identically with X11 and Nvidia 595 on Ubuntu 24.04. Screenshot here.

exact same issue with rtx 5000 ada - notebook, under bazzite
no meaningful fix currently as far as i know, and i cant even force it to use the intel IGPU... other games work fine

on bazzite to solve it you need to rollback the nvidia drivers:

sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-nvidia-open:stable@sha256:d8743773b84627d376ae168cc9807e8f27849ad345d075dd1201617f833de5df

sudo reboot

this way i got it working

Glad you resolved that "other games work fine" with your second post. Problems you are describing and self-solving have nothing to do with Factorio, they are self-inflicted.
