Factorio Forums

Hello, I just tried Factorio on linux, i love that you support free (or almost) operating systems, please keep doing it. I tried first with the last .17 and got a crash about openGL. I tried with .16 and it worked quite well, still looks like it complains a bit about video memory. Then i logged in and allow updates so I hope you get automatic crash report with more info. I let you here what the console spits, I ran twice .16 without problem and then when updated it crashed. I'm not a linux expert but an enthusiast so mi ignorance is bigger than my will, please if it is a dumb mistake forgive me.

Thanks for the report, however it seems your graphics driver or GPU doesn't support OpenGL 3.3 core, which is required to run 0.17

Thank you for your always quick reply! At least you pointed me in the direction of the problem. I guess some of my removing proprietary drivers is the root cause since the graphics card is modern. You are great.

Maybe a more informative error than

Error Util.cpp:83: Failed to create OpenGL context: Could not create GL context: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

would be helpful here?
