Right now my game keeps crashing during saving(or rather right before saving), but doesn't become corrupted as such. Strangely enough, it works fine for a single save after restarting my comp, but then it happens again. :\

I started another fortress and saving in that one works just fine. Perhaps it's having problems saving the amount of stuff in my fortress. Over 100 dwarves now. :S

The larger fortresses are relatively untested, so it could be any number of things -- feel free to shoot me your save information at toadyone@bay12games.com and I might be able to figure it out.  I've already seen some...  strange things.

I've had this problem (if it's the same I had, i.e. something trying to read 0x000000cc) happen in fortresses under 50 dwarves now, so it's not necessarily that - if I can get a save after which it invariably happens, I'll share.

Edit:

This one does it, at 22 dwarves.

I might have handled a lot of these issues today (at least as a work around, the core issues are still a bit of a mystery).  I'll grab a copy of this and see if that's true.

[Toady One]

It wasn't true -- this seems to be a problem involving a pet that was forgotten in some way.  I can add a work around to recover the saves and I'll try to figure out what's causing the problem to begin with.

I'm having a similar problem--my game saves just fine, but then crashes when I try to go back to the menu. I'll try to send a save later.

I've resolved the pet save crash in the latest release, though their could be other unrelated save crashes floating around.
