Hi - getting a black screen on startup, including in --safe-mode. M1 Max macbook pro, on an external monitor. Have played many hours of the alpha using this exact setup, without issues. Tried uninstalling + reinstalling through Steam, but issue persists.
(I'm unable to see the version number since I can't see anything, but Steam Build ID for it is 15152349)
Some additional things I've tried:

Hey can you try running it with --disable-store-sdk?

Same black screen with --disable-store-sdk
I can hear some music, and it does seem like my mouse clicks are registering if I click around randomly (occasionally hear button click + whoosh sound after).

Seems the game launches but it just doesn't render. Could you try restarting the laptop and trying on the integrated monitor?

Just tested on integrated display - same black screen there. Will try a reboot though.
... and after a reboot, works perfectly.
All the Context leak detected, msgtracer returned -1 no longer appear in player log (latest one attached).
(and verified it still works with steam store sdk re-enabled)

Ah, weird but glad it could be resolved!

I had the same issue. Screen went black. Music played though and the cursor changed to the shapez-cursor when hovering over the window.
Rebooting solved the issue.
I noticed that the game started on the macbook screen, even though I had configured it to display on my external monitor. I also had issues with my screen-setup when starting factorio. It often started on the wrong monitor which led me into a deep rabbit-hole of debugging screen-setup on macOS. It sometimes changes the id of the displays after waking up. That's quite annoying and some people have issues with that.
Here are some hints that might help debugging the issue:
I ran displayplacer to check if the id used in the config didn't match the ids assigned by macOS.
displayplacer list | grep -i "contextual screen id" -A7
Contextual screen id: 1

As you'll see it doesn't always use ids 1,2,3.
I have two external monitors of the same make & model and macOS thinks they have the same serial number.
If the bug occurs again I'll run the commands to see if I can fix the issue by correcting the setting.display.target-display entry in the config.

Are you able to get the game to run anything higher than 60FPS?
