[WIN7] Game starts minimised and the only way to maximise...

[Orangi]

I tired ur Idea, (Shift-Right-Click on Factorio icon) i get this: OPEN, Run as Admin, Pin to Taskbar and Properties.. Nothing that allows me to move. Thanks thou

[Koub]

And if you right-click on the Taskbar and select “Cascade windows” ?

[Orangi]

I unticked the Cascade windows and nothing happend.

Well sorry, I have no Win10 to test (I have even never seen one tbh ). I'm pretty sure the game runs on your second display, and can't find the way to bring it back to the oter one. Do you have a way to switch displays somehow ?

[Orangi]

I only have one monitor, as the laptop screen met with a tragic accident, HTMI monitor has been my savior for so long, but now it seem it has finally met its match.. i hope there is somthing im my logs that can fix it. The game ran fine to begin with, but today no luck. Maybe it will work again tomorrow.

OHOH important: I do have an Imac that i have been playing this on and it seem to use the same save files, could using the same Factorio steam account on two separate operating system effect it somehow?

Your log says this :

Code: Select all

0.140 Available display adapters: 2
0.140 [0]: \\.\DISPLAY1 - AMD Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series {0x01, [-1366,0], 1366x768, 32bit, 60Hz}
0.140 [1]: \\.\DISPLAY2 - AMD Radeon HD 7500M/7600M Series {0x05, [0,0], 1680x1050, 32bit, 60Hz}
0.141 Create display on adapter 0. Size 1266x668 at position [40, 32].

As I read it, [0] is set to be a the left and [1] at the right.
Your Factorio seems to open on [0], and I think you're on [1]

If you use cloud sync for Factorio on Steam, maybe can you load your PC save on your Mac. I incidentily asked myself the same question (but only have a PC).

[Orangi]

Oh so i just need to change that Adapter setting to (1) okok..... how do i do this.. this could be the key....

You can either: set launch options in Steam to "--fullscreen=false", start game, go to graphics options, set Screen 2 and exit the game. Then remove --fullscreen=false from launch options, start game and turn fullscreen on in options.

Or open %appdata%\Factorio\config\config.ini and change preferred-screen-index to 1 (or 255 to force it to always use primary screen).

Yes its worked, took me a while to find the file, but it works !! YAY THANKYOU!
