My version (currently alpha 0.3.1) starts, but during start process the windows open+close for maybe 10 times during a few seconds and then stays opened with logo and progress bar. When I am in windows mode, then its just opening and closing window. But fullscreen mode causes blinking whole screen with black + white colors which is very uncomfortable.
I am running on Win 7 64bit. Probably installed from executable file, dont remember.

Open the task manager (ctr + alt + del). Lookup Factorio in the list, right click it and choose maximize.

Hm, I have no idea what is going on there, I never seen it on any of our computers, is it working properly after it loaded up?

Factorio has always done this for me, I just close my eyes until it stops blinking

I am on the OSX and I have the same. I believe this is connected to some bug in our graphical library we are using (Allegro). There is a new update in the library which promises to address this issue. We will try it for the 0.5.0 release. I have hopes for this to solve the problem with blinking.

Issue is only disturbing for me, but the game works perfectly.
So I will wait for next releases.
