[0.14.21] Crash during launch (44%) with mods.

Post by Shadewing »

Hi,

I'm away from home for the holiday season so I'm using my laptop (Mac) rather than my desktop (PC) and i decided to play some Factorio on a rainy day. I copied the mods list from my desktop and set about downloading the mods through Factorio. Upon restarting Factorio I received this error message:

Clicking yes or no just leaves the main window hanging there, Steam going nuts on the CPU and the game doesn't load or close, I have to Force Quit the game.

Here (LINK) is a copy of factorio-current.log. Here (LINK) is a list of the mods I was attempting to use.

I've also added and removed mods to try and work out what works and what doesn't. This (LINK) is a list of mods that will work together. If any of these (LINK) mods are added I get the same crash. If angelsrefining_0.5.5.zip is added with just all of bobs mods, I get the crash but not if just angelsrefining_0.5.5.zip and angelsinfiniteores_0.4.5.zip are used. Other mods in the last list will load by alone but sometimes not with other mods and I have not been able to find an overall pattern.

I have connected to my desktop at home and tested these mods via teamviewer and they have no problems all loading together on my Windows desktop. My laptop is a MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010), processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB, OS: OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.

Please let me know if there is any other information you need/want or anything I can try or test at this end.

Thanks, Shadewing

You've got too many mods for your computer to handle. They're overloading the available VRAM on your graphics card.

You'll need to get a different computer if you want to use that many mods together.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Wow, thanks for the quick response!

That is unfortunate, I'd forgotten about the limited graphics memory, I don't usually use my laptop for gaming.

Thanks again.
