I don't understand this crash at all. I just downloaded the 0.12.1 update today but I cannot launch the game due to this error.

Why are you using version 0.12.0 ? There's a newer one already...
Also - which mods are you using?

I have the exact same error. I don't use any other mod then the original ones, and it's the first time i update the game. I played after buying it whitout any trouble, it's just after i turn on the experimental update.

I suggest downloading a fresh copy from the factorio website:

https://www.factorio.com/download/experimental

You can either download as a ZIP of as the installer.

Personally i use the ZIP version as it keeps all the game files (saves, mods etc.) within the same directory.
