When starting a vanilla copy of Factorio on a remote server box, Factorio experiences an unexpected error. Here is the pastebin crash report: https://pastebin.com/y6KMNtWh

Starting a headless server does not have any problems. I just want to be able to start the game from the .exe to update mods in the future.

Here are the system specs:

Intel Xeon CPU E5-2667 v2 @3.30 GHz
16GB RAM
64-bit OS, x64-based processor.

If there's anything else I need to provide, let me know please.

Hello, the log doesn't contain crash, which might mean it crashed before logging started.

Can you see if there is a file called factorio-dump-current.dmp in Documents folder on the server? If so, ZIP it and post it here, please.

(Also: Windows 10 version 1607 is outdated, the game might not work correctly on it)

This is the one from the base vanilla server. Currently the server is running in headless mode with Bob's mods and a bunch of other stuff.

Thanks. It's running on Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver with software rasterization and that is what crashes. Try to launch the game with parameter --gfx-safe-mode

Do I just copy that into the config file, or is there a place in the config already that I have to make a change to?

It's not config option. The same way you are starting the server with --start-server parameter, you can start normal game using various parameters, --gfx-safe-mode is one of them. You can create BAT file to launch the game with a parameter, or launch the game from command line or create shortcut and add it in its properties.

If you'd prefer to just edit config.ini, you can replace [graphics] section by following

Fantastic, it worked! Thanks for the help!
