Black Screen on startup [Solved]

Post by Nubm2 »

Hi!

Well, i updated from .15.11 to 15.19 last night and everything worked fine. Today i opened the game and it just showed a black screen. Music was still playing in the background, so it doesnt freeze the system. Also it seems as if Factorio locked me out. Alt-tab, ctrl+alt+dlt, alt+F4, ctrl+x, esc, nothing works. I've changed nothing on my system (win7 64bit) and everthing else works just fine.
Auto-Updates are disabled and there is no activity at all while in the black screen (besides applications that where started are still running).

I removed the config.ini as suggested somewhere else but doesn't changed anything.
Any suggestions what i could try next would be great.

Du you have a logfile ?
Is there any chance you could be in this situation : viewtopic.php?f=11&t=44699 ?
I know the symptoms don't match perfectly, but it doesn't cost much to check.

Thanks for the fast reply!
ignore please
Nvm, for some reason my AV had blocked the factorio.exe for whatever reason. Sorry for the bother, you can delete this topic. Thanks again for the help though!

I'd rather tag it as solved, it might be of some use for others :)
