Factorio Forums

Repro steps:

* Start a new game of Factorio, version 0.16.3.
* Press Esc to show the menu and pause the game.
* Lock the computer (Windows-L).
* Unlock the computer (with a Windows password).
* Resume the game.

Result: Player sprite disappears completely or only in certain animation frames.

If done quickly, it appears to remove only a few frames of the player sprite animation, possibly the frames that were displayed while the computer was locked. It only seems to remove frames from the animation of the player orientation when locked.

In case it's relevant, I have the game on Screen2, not Screen1.

Uh...no.

1. The descriptions are not remotely the same.
2. I have fast user switching disabled. This is ordinary locking, not user switching.
3. The bug I've described did not happen in release in version 15. It's new to version 16.

Kindly move this out of duplicates, as it is not a duplicate.

...And it is still broken on 0.16.4.

Should be fix in 0.16.5: 54672
That is ... if the game crashes when you lock screen, that is not fixed, but if it doesn't crash only some sprites disappear ... the disappearing is fixed.
