[40d16][adventurer] cannot go to escape menu while dead, unless game pauses
« on: January 06, 2010, 06:41:48 pm »
After dying in adventurer mode in 40d16, the game uses up an entire core while in "real time" mode, and I cannot get to the menu by hitting escape.  I can only either kill the dwarfort.exe process, or wait and hope that something happens to pause the game, producing a [done] message, like "the wolf spits out the human chunk [done]".  If there's a [done] message at the bottom of the screen, the escape key works.

This happens with or without any extra mods, and did not occur in 40d11.

This has been very widely reported and will be fixed in either the next 40d# release or the upcoming version of DF.

Oh, whoops.  Didn't see any other reports, at least on the first page here.

Many/most of the d# bug reports get put in its thread rather than the bugreports subforum.

Could we maybe get a bugfix release for this soon?  It's taking a lot of the fun out of adventure mode to know there's a 60-80% chance your guy will just come back to life (And even if you don't bring him back, all his actions are still lost)

This request isn't going to accomplish much since Toady hasn't had time to read Bug Reports for a while.  Rumor has it that there'll be a 40d17 before the big release, but we'll see.
