In ADV. MODE, I was simply walking over to some fortress in the middle of nowhere, and I asked the lord to let me stay the night (heh, that sounds funny). I slept, and when I woke up in the morning, I was outisde of the fortress, and my fps was 1. Hm, strange... I thought. I walked around to investigate. What I found out, was that the whole map around the fortress (even including parts of the wall) had somehow collapsed to the bottom of the map, presumably Hell, sending lava, water and dust into the air. Obsidian was forming in mid-air, and falling like rain around the map, causing mini-craters. Then, one hit me, and I flew into this pit. I fell at about a rate of .00001 fps, finally landing in the magma sea. WTF DF!!! My computer spent about ten minutes, just for me to die!

EDIT: I spent 10 minutes investigating the extent of the injuries my world had suffered. It turned out I was actually on a little island thingy surrounded by open space (the HOLE OF DEATH). That's when I was blown off the ledge... falling until I hit the sea, minutes later.

have you ever heard of the mythical key combination of [alt]+[ctrl]+[del], well you should learn about it!
At least if you would like to continue to play with computer games in ALPHA STAGE 'CAUSE IT IS NOT FINISHED ....
(however as an advice shut processes down, it works always better then just tryng to shoot down an aplication directly, and try to understand what you do before doing .... been warned!)

I didn't want to quit out of it. I was lulling too hard.

That sound quite incredible. How did this happen?
(Also, you might want to change the title of the thread to something like "The Hole of Death")

My guess is that something went wrong while trying to reload the world, and it must have completely skipped some z-levels in a few local map squares. I tried to film it, but something happened and the film was all messed up. I wasn't using the DF film program, it always seems to have little glitches, like sometimes, it flashes random text... and then it looks like I have a ton of pink flying dorfs and plump helmets.

If it lags like that it's propably not nice, but I can't help but think of DF switching into dramatic slowmotion mode while your character screams "NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo"
