[1.1.91] Crash on Startup

[CrazyCody2468]

For the last 2 days I've been trying to play factorio, but it crashes while in the startup loading screen. It first slows down at 4% and uses a lot of ram when loading Wide-Chests, but usually makes it past after a bit of time. Then it reaches 9% and starts loading space-exploration-postprocess where it slows down to a halt and uses a lot of ram again. Almost every time it jumps up to 15% and shortly after crashes anything I have open on my computer like google and discord. Tried doing it with no other things open besides factorio, same results. I've gotten 2 different error messages, the common one being "bad allocation stack traceback: [C]: in ?", the other being mush longer but I don't remember what it says as its only popped up 2 or 3 times out of the many times I've attempted to launch the game.

Well, this log does not show either error you describe. "bad allocation stack traceback: [C]: in ?" would simply mean you ran out of memory.

The log attached to the post was the only one i was able to find. I have 16gb of Ram and this is the first time in my 2-3 years of having this computer that i have had issues with it, as well as the fact that every other game i have runs perfectly fine.

Edit: i just attempted to start the game again and acquired a new log

When was the last time you rebooted the computer? Things pile up.

I've attempted both restarting my computer, and shutting it down and letting it sit overnight.

It definitely sounds like a ran out of memory issue based on the description (causing non-Factorio software to crash out). It may be some combination of mods you're using. Some of them may be getting a little carried away in entity creation or something due to an unforeseen interaction with another. Maybe try disabling some of the mods and see what happens?

The day before the game broke everything ran just fine. I never added/removed any mods, or changed any settings so im not sure what could have changed to cause the crashing.
