[0.12.29] Hang when launched outside of Steam

[nicegame]

I have also just bought the game via steam this weekend (25th march)
Game seems to crash everytime at startup when I use the windows desktop link to start the game.
My problem is solved when I start steam first and launch factorio via steam.

crash report is in the attachement

Hi, thanks for the report.
What is your OS and graphics card? Is it possible that it is same issue as this: 22497?

Hi,

yes, it is the exact same problem ( 22497 ). I can start without steam without a crash, so this wasn't the reason I suspected. But when I focus on other windows after double clicking the factorio startup link i get the same error message (failed to create display!). This error and crash is 100% reproducible if you are fast enough to click on another windows before the factorio window is build up (or your pc is slow and you have a lot of time to do that).
I use windows 7 proffesional with sp1 64 bit with an amd radeon r9 380.

Since its the same as another bug in minor issues,
I will also move this to minor issues
