2.0.55 has landed in stable channel, I've been using on Linux since yesterday. Flawless as always. Thanks devs for your hard work!

Reinstall Windows. Or install Linux Mint (20mins).
That's probably easier than trying to debug this for days on end.

ok to end this tale of woe a happy ending, I had my hdmi cable in the motherboard instead of my graphics card. :oops:

I'm not a hardwary techy person obviously, but sticking my stupid cable in the right stupid hole solved my issue of not using the right graphics card, go figure.
I was on my ...

True :D Sometimes, valorant crashes, but thats not just me, so I take it as a feature. Many times its their vgk.sys process that gives me BSOD


Still, this could be your CPU being faulty. Riotgames have an article about this:

You should have zero crashes, even one is unacceptable. Does any other software crash? If you idle PC overnight, does it ever crash?

That's very good troubleshooting you did so far. Keep us posted how the rig behaves.

I don't know about Unreal Engine 5 shader compilation and if it's free and available, never tried it. Probably worth checking out.

But while you are at it, maybe try Memtest86+ as well. Just to make sure your memory is stable. You can download it and flash into a USB, link: https://memtest.org/

I had crashes almost from start (PC is 2y old) but only in Cyberpunk. As of last month or so factorio started to crash once a week maybe, last two weeks crashing became more often so I reinstalled whole windows and this week I am crashing within 1 or 2 hours of playing.

How do I check my CPU ...

I have Bios up to date. Well there is 9 days old beta version of new bios so I can try that.?


If your CPU has been damaged, this damage may be permanent, and you may never reach 100% stable operation out of your CPU. Check your CPU out and replace if it is found as a reason for your instability ...

That's not a very nice thing to say :)


My apologies 😅 I didn't mean to offend — just surprised to see such basic questions like: "how to install a game I just purchased?" on the official forum.


I am surprised that I had to ask this ...

Why did it crash? Why your files got corrupted? You sure your hardware is sound? When did you stress tested it the last time?
Check Windows' Event Viewer, System tab, for hardware errors, especially storage.

Buying the game doesn't imply it will automatically import itself into your computer. Game require downloading and then installing.

If you want to end this mild embarassment, just familiarize yourself with the game interface more. Just launch the game and check the menus. Will you be able to ...

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I haven't the foggiest clue as to what could be causing this. I am tempted to blame GPU drivers.

Do you have the capability to test on a more bleeding-edge distro such as Fedora or Arch?


OP refused to do stress tests or benchmarking (his quote: Why would ...

also: tried connecting using external ip address in game, it works, I don't know if it uses a shortcut to reach the server, --- is it secure to share my external IP in this forum?


Maybe share it with a couple of people, friends you are willing to play with? You can share it with me via PM, it ...

Firstly, try to connect from another machine in your LAN. From client machine, type your LAN IP to connect, not 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1. That way, you will know if factorio server is listening properly, and if Manjaro firewall etc. is not messing with it.
Once verified, you can attempt to open a ...

I recently started a new playthrough and when I got to vulcanus I found out I had a terrible seed, much worse then I thought was possible. I'm 56 hours in and it's so bad I don't know if it's worth continuing this playthrough purely for this reason. It's really sad because I was just getting to ...

Go on.

I wouldn't call that a "bad seed". As far as I remember previous Vulcanus layouts, there is always just one tungsten resource field with 150-250k, one coal with about 1m, one sulfuric acid field and 1 calcite with 500k-1m in the starting area. This seems the parameters of the starting area ...
