Version: 0.16.38, steam version, vanilla with no mod, PC running without overclock and it is stable in any other game.
Bug never happened in 0.16.37 or before.
Bug is not related to old/new saves, affects both.
How it happen: If I leave Factorio after longer play session (2 hours) I am not able to start it again. When I start it - dozens of factorio windows appears on windows task bar and then dissapears. Factorio ends with error "initialization failed. error code 01."
It does not happen after short play session.
How often it happen: allwayz (5 times already) - if long enough session is played. I am often using alt tab from Factorio and back during play.
How solve it: log off from windows account and relog back is enough.
I have HighEnd PC, I7/32GB/SSD/Geforce 1080TI.
Might be related: Same day as I updated to 0.16.38 I also updated nVidia driver to 397.31 (based on forum it might have bugs ) - I did not heard about bugs related to 1080TI (only 1060) and I dont have troubles similar to factorio anywhere else - but who knows...

[0.16.38] After longer play (2 hours+) game cant be started
Re: [0.16.38] After longer play (2 hours+) game cant be started
EDIT: It is most likely nVidia driver issue with factorio init on my system.
Rollback to 391.35 driver probably solved problem.
