Please post a log file (factorio-current.log). You can find it here:

For Windows: %appdata%\Factorio (usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio)
For Linux: ~/.factorio
For Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/factorio

Also update to 0.12.27 (experimental). We have some extra logging for this error in that version.

If you use Steam, go to Factorio properties, select BETAS tab and opt into experimental version.

Here's the log

Maybe the problem is that the "cracked" version you downloaded doesn't work?

you have guts - asking the programmers you have betrayed by using illegal cracked software to give you a helping hand.

I don't know if Intel G41 is good enough, but it should be able to at least create display. You can try force-opengl in config, but log from 0.12.27 would be really helpful
