Did it ever work on that machine?

[dogunbound]

Hmm. Yesn't. I just recently reinstalled linux because of an issue I created on accident destorying my desktop environment lol.

So on the machine, yes. After reinstalling, no. Maybe I'm missing a library? How do I know which?

This is very much a guess, but does anything change if you use an older version of Mesa? I don't know if that's easy to test.

[dogunbound]

That really isn't easy to test.... I'm using archlinx. I'd have to somehow find the old archlinux image.

I am on mesa-1:25.0.3-1 just to point this out

Yeah the log says that. If I remember from when I looked the place it crashed in startup seemed like it was probably in graphics? I don't recall seeing anything super obvious in the stack trace though.

I wasn't sure if there was a simple way to upgrade/downgrade that on its own. My thought there was based on the facts that your new installation likely has a newer version of Mesa and that (last I heard) Intel discrete graphics were still working out some rough edges. I don't see anything open about Factorio and Intel graphics on the Mesa bug tracker, though.

But you'd probably need a dev to say for sure.

[dogunbound]

I ran through all of these options:
viewtopic.php?t=9300

Managed to get factorio working by setting
--video-memory-usage=medium
flag.

I guess I'll permanently use that or maybe just for now? Idk, but atleast I can game again.

Huh, that's interesting.
