Factorio Forums

When I hit Esc to show the in-game menu (and pause the game), then lock my PC, then unlock it after a moment and resume play, the player sprite disappears.

Repro steps:

* Start a new game of Factorio, version 0.16.4.
* 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.


(Sorry for the repost, but when I previously reported this bug, Loewchen moved it erroneously under Duplicates, and apparently he/she can't be bothered to rectify the error. It isn't a duplicate of any version 0.15 bug. It didn't occur until version 0.16. It doesn't appear to have been reported previously.)

Can you upload factorio-current.log, please?

Reminds me of my own report under 54756

I have been also being have the same issue but when it happens the radar texture disappears and it this also seems to be triggered when my screen saver comes on

If you have low VRAM usage on try turning that off and that should help
