[0.17.50] Error when starting the game(89% download sprites): "invalid value debug of item level at root.debug.show-sprite-counts"
pls help.

Go into config.ini (%appdata%/Factorio/config by default on Windows), search for "show-sprite-counts," and put a semicolon (;) before that line. If that doesn't work, post a log (%appdata%/Factorio/factorio-current.log), and maybe config.ini.

Edit: the game seems to automatically discard invalid config values, so just post the log please.

Your installation downgraded to 0.16 for some reason. If that is not what you intended to happen, select 0.17.x experimental branch again.
If you do want to downgrade to 0.16, delete config.ini (path %APPDATA%\Factorio\config\config.ini)

0.17 ignores invalid config values, 0.16 and older versions error on invalid value.
