When i try and load up the server through the batch file it shows for like a second then disappears without any errors ,this is the command that i use:
Factorio.exe --start-server newgame.zip
And yes the batch file is in the same folder as Factorio.exe
Any body know a fix or what am i doing wrong?

Please post your factorio log.

You can add the command pause on the second line of the batch file, so the window won't close immediately.
Or try to launch the console (Win+R, then enter cmd), then navigate to the factorio directory (cd C:\Program Files\Factorio\bin\x64) and then launch the .bat file or Factorio.exe --start-server newgame.zip
This will also keep the window open.

Also make sure you can start Factorio by just executing the Factorio.exe in the explorer (the normal way) and that the save newgame.zip is present in the save folder.

--start-server is only a thing in 0.12, you need to update.
(An exception in AtlasSystem::loadSprites usually means out of VRAM BTW)

Then what do you suggest for 0.11.22

If you want to stay on 0.11, you could try with video-memory-usage=low in config.ini or get a better GPU if that's really the issue. You will still not be able to run a headless server with that though since this was only implemented in 0.12. Why not update?
