[16.36] Black screen after switching to second monitor (fullscreen)

[BrickNukem]

After starting factorio (0.16.36) for the first time since 0.15, I joined a multiplayer game and went into settings and changed the game (fullscreen) to render on my second monitor. After exiting, the game is failing to start up. I see the loading screen up to 'cropping sprites' and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. From task manager, the game process seems to be doing just about nothing.

Nvidia gtx 970 on driver 390.65
Primary monitor 1680x1050@120Hz no scaling
Secondary monitor 3840x2160@60Hz 150% scaling

I tried to find a way to change to windowed mode (looking for launch options and pressing alt+enter), but I found no other way of getting back into the game besides changing "preferred-screen-index=1" back to 0 in the config file. After changing to windowed mode through the options, I can now play on my second monitor. So I have a work-around, but I hope you can maybe fix some problem with this information. Thank you!

Hello, in the config find line that contains

Code: Select all

; thread-sprite-loading=true

remove leading semi-colon and change true to false

Code: Select all

thread-sprite-loading=false

Let me know if that helps.
