[0.11.22]Installed on Windows Server 2k12

[Agomy]

Hello everyone,

i was currently trying to install factorio on my Windows 2k12 server. The installation itself was possible without any troubles.
I guess the reason why someone would want to have factorio running on a dedicated server is obvious.

Starting factorio seems to be a problem.

Sadly it quits during the startup at round about 60%.
Maybe i am missing something?

The log can be found here:

What graphics adapter does the machine have? How much VRAM?
It may be wiser to wait until a headless version is out before making a dedicated Factorio server machine, because right now every Factorio instance has to do all the graphics as well.

I am running it on a server which has onboard graphic not sure if there is a dedicated V-RAM. Since i am able to run Factorio on a laptop with onborad graphic which actually has a even less powerful hardware i assume that this is not the problem.

Of coure a headless version will be easier to run. I am just experimenting and trying. And thats why i came here and maybe there is already a way to make it run.

Even though the server would have to "do all the graphics" the used character would not move at all and you could keep it zoomed in all the way. So it would not permanently have to display and render everything.

Try low graphics quality, or wait for 0.12 headless mode.
