[0.16.51] Crash on start after creating display

[julitj]

I have steam verson fo the game [0.16.51]
Since launch, the game freezes with a black screen. On the application window writes "not responding". A minute later an error message arrives.
Several times reinstalled the game, deleted the log files - the error message began to come faster.
Previously, the game was launched on the same computer without any problems.
How to fix the error - I do not know

Try restarting your computer and closing all other programs.

I tried it, but it doesn't help
I run Factorio through steam right after starting the computer and it crash
Turned off the antivirus did not help

I wonder why the log shows this DLL is loaded

2.523 C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft.windows.gdiplus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.1.10240.16384_none_89a94c179af51f83\gdiplus.dll

while there is no ADM component in the computer :

Also : Intel HD 3000, total 6 GB RAM, I wonder how much VRAM the system has. Have you tried lowering the graphics quality ?

Try to open Factorio properties in the Steam Library and set launch options to

Code: Select all

--force-opengl

I'd say to try also update your graphics drivers (the game didn't get far enough to log what driver version you have though), but I am not sure if current drivers are even still compatible with 2015 version of Win 10.

(Also, I wonder why Star Menu app - C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Start10\Start10_64.dll - would need to be loaded in the game process, but I don't suppose it causes the crash)

gdiplus.dll is standard Windows component for drawing Windows GUI. We use it to load images. AMD64 is one of the names for 64bit version of x86 instruction set.

There some nVidia DLLs loaded, so it is probably laptop with nVidia Optimus (switchable graphics)
