Dwarf fortress randomly crashing
« on: June 02, 2018, 07:49:27 pm »

Ok, so I've been playing this fort for a few days now, and everything  was running smoothly up until a siege that is happening at the beginning of my fourth year at the fort. After I let the siege start running for a little bit, the enemies get to the bridge area of my fort, and then my fort just ups and crashes, without any error messages or anything. I've seen this crashing before as well, with it happening earlier in my game when I was placing multiple doors to many of my dwarves bedrooms, but I'm not sure if there is any correlation with that. I have attached the stderr, game, and error logs for anyone who would be kind enough to look through them and give me a hint of what might be going wrong. Thanks!

Actually, if you want to see the files just email me, because I can't figure out how to attach files. (I'm new to this forum, by the way).

Bay12Games host a file server for bugged saves and such.
You can find it here. Upload your save then just copy/paste the link into your thread.

http://dffd.bay12games.com/

Standard questions:
What version are you playing?
Are you using any mods? Including Starter Packs (which often have basic Dfhack functions set on as default, that counts).
Is there anything in the errorlog (errorlog.txt in the main folder).

There are very few crashes in the main, vanilla game right now. They're always a priority for fixing, so posting your save will be helpful.

I'm playing on version 0.43.05 and I'm using the Lazy Newb Pack to run it, and the errorlog during the siege says that a bunch of beak dogs have loop path fails and then "removed erroneous unit ground occupancy flag" shows up three times before it crashes. Here is the link if you want to download the errorlog and look at it. http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=13800

Also, I'm trying to post my save on the site, but it won't let me post my folder with all my data in it, instead it just opens the folder.

Do you have any weapon traps? 43.05 will crash when they wear out. Might happen with crossbow bolts too.

I suggest upgrading.

Make a zip file from your save folder. Upload that (but only if you think it's something else. Weapon traps crashes were fixed in 44.01).

Yes I had weapon traps, and I did upgrade my version and now it hasn't crashed at all. I never knew that weapon traps breaking was an implement. Guess that shows that I haven't played in a long time! Oh well, thanks for all of your help!
