Factorio Forums

Hello! I don't know myself what causes this, but around every 10 minutes factorio crashes. The popup says that it encountered an unexpected error. Down below I am attaching the "Previous" and "Current" log from the Factorio folder. Hope this helps the game in future! Thanks for your time.
(I also did a quick search for a similar error and didn't find one. Sorry if this has already been reported!)

Quick note! This also happened in the demo version, but I didn't upload it as I thought it was fixed in the full! I thought it over and maybe it's a setting I have? I wouldn't think so as the game runs above (roughly) 40 FPS. Also I do not believe I am doing anything specific to cause it to crash. The most common time (I think) I have seen it happen is when I enter an object (Stone furnace, burner inserter/drill etc) Thanks for any help!

How much RAM do you have on your computer?

4 GB RAM (3.47 GB available)

The game is crashing in what looks like a memory allocation failure. How much free RAM does it show on your computer while you're running the game?

It says that it has 1.1 GB free while running just the game (And yes, it does crash with just the game open)

It crashes inside graphics driver, so switching rendering from OpenGL to Direct3D might help.
To do that, set launch options in Factorio properties in Steam to

This worked! Thanks so much for the help! Keep up the awesome work

I remember when I used to have issues like this.... Turns out one of my sticks of ram had 1 byte of bad memory... Cost way too much money to replace that RAM >.> I ended up with a 6GB rig instead of an 8GB rig.
