Crashing Everytime I Talk to Someone
« on: February 14, 2012, 09:43:47 pm »

Hi guys,

Just got the new DF version, generated a world, and went to adventuring.

Problem is, everytime I talk to a villager, it crashes when I select Greet.

Anyone else have this?

EDIT: I made a Pocket Region and I can greet people in that world. The previous one was a Large Island (Or whatever the largest Island selection is)

Quite a few people have mentioned it now. I had it with my large world, but my small world seems fine. Aside from 5 necromancers in one towers, but that's another issue entirely.

If you had necromancy powers, this would be a pretty solid way to prank people.

How is that an issue?

Are you sure it's crashing? Mine just freezes for 30-60 seconds or so.

Mostly just the huge FPS drop. Also the ability to raise a zombie corpse, which started started turning into things like "zombie zombie elfelf corpse."

Still locks up unfortunately.

Doesn't freeze. The program immediately shuts down and get the "Dwarf Fortress has Stopped Working" message.

I'm getting this issue too, generating a new world now with a short history to see if that is what is causing it. I'm not sure if the large map size or if the large history is related.

I had the same problem and tried different sized worlds, but I changed the truetype and it works perfectly for now.

I generated a large world with a short history (125 years), there is still a short (5 second) delay when conversing with NPC's but the crash seems to have gone away. I had already disabled TrueType fonts before, although I know that this does appear to be fixing the issue for some people.

I should also add that I'm on Mac OSX Lion.
