[2.0.72] (Linux) Crash when pressing 'start' keyboard button
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2026 7:21 am
Note this is on Linux.
What did you do?
- During gameplay, press 'start' button on Logitech K580 keyboard. I have no other keyboard to test on.
- Pressing Start at the title screen produces no error, Start menu opens as normal
- Pressing Start during the first few minutes of gameplay also causes no error.
- The ability to crash occurs sometime after about an hour or so of normal gameplay. I'm not sure what causes it
What happened?
- Game freezes and crashes to desktop. I see a popup suggesting I open the log file and post to Factorio forums.
- Gameplay after my latest save is lost.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
- Game minimizes / turns into windowed mode, but continues running in the background, and Start menu opens.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
- At the first hour or so of gameplay, never happens.
- After (?) an hour or so, happens always. Tested 4 times
- Happens on 2 different save files
