Re: Factorio crashing on Windows 11

Have you taken out these two sticks of RAM? What speed are the remaining two running at? 6400 MT/s, yes? Have you done Memtest86+ on these two sticks alone at 6400 MT/s?

If it's not hardware, then there could be many more software reasons, like overlays, overclocking tools, various intrusive peripherals drivers, antivirus software, and so on.
Troubleshooting steps if you think it's the software:
1. Create new Windows 11 user profile, log out from your current user and log in to the new one, install game fresh there from https://factorio.com/download and try again.
2. Get a cheap HDD or SDD (to avoid messing around with your existing partitions), install Linux Mint on it, download Factorio the same way as above, and have a go.
