[0.14.22] Crash on waking up from computer sleep

[octorok]

I have a fairly beefy gaming laptop, but every time it wakes from sleep mode with the new version the game crashes with the following error message:

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Unable to create sprite (1916X1053) probably not enough of video memory.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I assume that there isn't enough video memory, though I'm surprised to see the game trying to create such a large image.

We don't support putting the computer to sleep while Factorio is running.

I have put non-trivial effort into fixing this in 0.14 and it works on computers I tested it on. I am sad to see it still crashes on some computers. Well ... it might work eventually, but not any time soon.
If you need this feature, use --force-opengl launch option in Factorio properties in Steam library. OpenGL shouldn't suffer from this crash on computer wake up.

Bummer this won't be fixed. But thank you for the reply, I'll try the `--force-opengl` workaround. Thanks for looking into it.
