Hello,
I have played about 50 hours in your game, but when I installed last graphic card drivers and when I was loading game first window popped with: cannot find (picture of purple-splash-acid),it was about 45% of loading, so I verified integrity of game files and all of them was OK, so I tried to re-install game, but now I cannot start the game. There is still popping up window with: failed to create display. I tried to re-install graphic drivers, run it with --force-opengl and at appdata don't have any crop-cache.dat, but nothing works. I do not have downloaded or installed any mods. I attached log.
Thank you for your time and for your advice.
Have a nice day.

Hi, remove --force-opengl, your computer doesn't support OpenGL 1.2, which is required. And try to reboot the computer.

I tried it with and without it. Reboot doesn't work, it is still the same.

Provide the log without --force-opengl.

There might be a logical reason, but I can not think of one. My advise would be to, first verify the game cache with steam (

"All files were successfully verified"
I tried to re-install graphic driver today in the morning. Maybe I can try to put system back in time to point when the game was working and try it again.

And why are you installing a Nvidia driver when you are running an intel graphic chip?!

Please post your dxdiag info: win+R -> dxdiag -> enter -> "save all information" ...
Edit: Force the Nvidia card to be used: go to the Nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3D Settings, Program Settings, and adding the executable of factorio, then select the Nvidia graphics adapter.

I uninstalled game. Then searched the
game cam (main) folder of my windows c folder. Then I deleted that folder too. After that restart your computer and install your game. It worked for me! Here, I want to update little bit more. If you still face problem and don't work then you need to setup windows again. It worked for me for another game and hoping
it will work for you too .

Okay, I don't get it, when I tried to manage Nvidia control panel, it closed and popped out window with: We can't detect any Nvidia graphic card and after that the game is working.
