Constant, non-reproducible crashes
« on: December 02, 2015, 01:29:22 am »
I've been trying to get a game going on the new version for the last several hours. I've had crashes during world gen, during the 2-week prep for embark (semi-reproducible with one save file, at least), shortly after embark, shortly after the first migrant wave, shortly after opening a tavern and receiving visitors, and a few times during quiet moments where nothing out of the ordinary is happening. None of it is reproducible except the crash during the 2-week embark. I'd like to be able to give some information to help Toady out. Is there anything valuable that I can pass along, given that the crashes mostly seem to be "random"? System details, save files, etc?

I've been having this problem too. My most recent crash happened when I had my first migrant wave. I had a small tavern open, with a couple of humans hanging out and shooting the breeze.

Could that be what's causing the crashes? Or is this just buggy early editions being buggy early editions?

Hmm. That's strange.

I consistently fail to get past world gen, either it continuously hangs on a Yosemite OSX. There is no crashfile
See this:

Trying to get it to be logged. Not working.

The crashes are happening on a large scale, methinks.

It's sad, but not unexpected. Toady will probably have it fixed shortly.

Try using the same seed for reproducibility.

looks like he's fixed three worldgen problems already though:

Most of those resolved issues are just duplicates of previously submitted ones.

This is a matter of course with new versions. Toady is working on it, rest assured.

First time playing a new build, I started with 40.24 so I've never had this taste of fun before.

Toady said that seeds were non-deterministic unless you quit and restart, due to lingering data.

How did we pass from inns with merry songs and happy music to temples of doom and medieval torture with so much easiness and eagerness??

"resolved" in the bug tracker "my view" or "view issue" listing does not mean that the issue is solved or worked on specifically, it's only meaning it's linked to or similar to an existing issue already.

The changelog is a better hint at what Toady fixed :
