-> no responding

well, it was the effin gpu.

Ive added the game folder at nvidia experience software,
it began to start ok. But still crashing after some minutes.
i update the driver, and its now working.

-> nervermind its freezing again.

Other games work?

As well file corruption, which you seem to have mostly checked, hardware damage is an option, possibly the GPU itself. Power outages can sometimes be accompanied by a surge, or sometimes unlucky coincidences and unrelated things happen about the same time.

Hey buddy, thank you for your time. Yeah, other games are working fine.

There is one odd thing. When i launch the game directly by steam, it freezes when i get the menu. If i launch the game using the nvidia experience software, it takes a while to freezes, i can use the menu, even start one game.

Ok, ive created another account on my game pc. Now its working.

Strange. You could try deleting C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\factorio.

Not sure if steam uninstall deletes, this. As far as I know, those are the only files not shared by either other games, or other user accounts. Devs might know more about any such files/directories that can crash Factorio specifically.
