[2.0.72] Crash on launch, no stacktrace
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2025 9:07 pm
Hello,
my game immediately crashes when I try to start it in Steam.
It happens when I left-click in my Steam library on the "play"-button and wait for the game to start.
After a few seconds, I get a crash screen. By that time, no game-window has ever opened, so the game "crashes before it really starts".
The cloud synchronization finishes first, but afterwards I get the crash.
This happens every time I try to start the game now. So it is easily reproduced.
The error message of the crash can be found in the attachment "11-12-2025, 21-58-31.png".
I also attached the mentioned file to this report ("factorio-current.log").
The only thing that changed on my system since yesterday is the latest windows update that was just completed about 15 minutes before I tried to start the game.
What is the reason for this crash? Can I prevent it somehow?
