This looks like a different problem than low graphics memory. Maybe a corrupted download? Please try to delete all factorio data, redownload and reinstall the game.

Do you have a hash check on the installer? Because this is a pretty common issue we have here. I think I've seen over 5 users that actually reported the issue.

Not that I know of. But we have moved to a different hosting , so there is a chance that this problem will get better.

You can check what actually happened to the picture (__base__ in the path must be replaced with instalation directory/ data / base), but your best next attempt is to delete whole factorio instalation and try to download it again.

Ok, so now your only option seems to be to look at the file :) Can you open it?

Hello, I have the same problem as Lawn1boy after upgrading from 10.12 to the latest build. No effect after reinstall, still same png (in my case it is small_pump_up).

Loading mod core 0.0.0 (data.lua)
3.657 Loading mod base 0.11.22 (data.lua)
4.328 Loading mod base 0.11.22 (data-updates.lua)

If you will need some help, I ll check this forum every evening this week and we can go arrange some meeting (Skype, Team-Speak) and I'll try to help you as I can :)

Thanks,

BJ

Try deleting crop-cache.dat in the Factorio write data directory and restarting the game.

So, I have updated Factorio 0.11.21 to 0.11.22 once again to test it, but this time it works!!! 2x upgrade, 1x fresh installation - three times problems occured, everytime with another .png, but this time it is OK. truth is, that before I have installed the 0.11.21 version (and played it for 3 hours), I had removed (for the first time) the whole Factorio directory from Data application folder .

Going to reinstall it and test it once more, stay tuned :) Deleted Factorio folder after uninstall ... installing ... OK, it works.

Thanks

For Cube:
Díky moc za objasnění, evidentně jsem trefil způsob opravy omylem sám, když jsem včera promazal před instalací 0.11.21 podadresář Factorio v Data aplikací. crop-cache.dat tam zůstává i když dáš při odinstalování, že chceš odebrat Factorio se všemi komponentami, což (nic ve zlým) mi přijde trochu jako prasečinka to tam nechat. Osobně mám radši, kdy se mě uninstaller zeptá, zda chci odebrat i uschované pozice, prostě uninstall se všim tak jak to má bejt správně.

Přeju hezkej den :)

BJ
