[0.15.23] Crash when locking PC, logging out or switching user in windows

When I lock the screen it's ok, however when I switch the Windows user, the game crashes immediately and when I log back to my user I can see the error "Unable to create sprite (1920X1200) probably not enough of video memory.". The same happens when I switch the screen off and back on.

It's a known minor issue that might be fixed in the future.

If you really need to switch users when playing Factorio start it with --force-opengl

In [0.17.23] this doesn't happen any more. Must have been fixed somewhere along the way.
