Can't maximize window

Post by nwiesjhan »

I have the problem where the game will start in a smaller not maximize window, then when I got to maximize it the game with either not finish loading or give me a error message says that there might not be enough video memory for the sprites.

Post a log please. https://wiki.factorio.com/Log_file

Also what happens if you don't attempt to maximise the window. Will it finish loading ?

Yes it will finish loading and be playable. but it starts in such a tiny window.

What version of RivaTuner Statistics Server do you have? Do you have the issue even if you disable RTSS for Factorio?

You might need to update or downgrade RTTS depending on version you use.
It inserts itself between a game and DirectX and if there is a bug in it, it can cause graphical issues or crashes.

Alternativelly, you can try to set launch options in Factorio properties in Steam Library to

Code: Select all

--force-opengl
