Factorio wont open a Window

Post by Abrissgurke »

Whenever I try to start Factorio, the Game opens in the task bar but when I try to actually open the window (by simple clicking on it, by alt + tab and over the taskmenager) I get the message: (boost::filesystem::rename: Der Prozess kann nicht auf die datai zugreifen, da sie von einen anderen Prozess verwendet wird:"C:/Users\GamingProfil\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\factorio-current.log","C:/Users\GamingProfil\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\factorio-previous.log") this error started occurring when I change my Windows Vista to Windows 8.1.

Sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language.

I guess there is some permissions problem. Do you have write permissions for the folder stated in the message?
What happens if you try to manually rename said file?

Your problem sounds like this a known issue: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =10#p32663
+ you've probably launched factorio more than once and it tries to overwrite a file that it is using.

Make sure that all factorios are stopped (using process manager) and then try the workaround from the thread i linked.
