So I am having a freeze happen between five and fifteen minutes of my last save.  It's mid-Autumn, I think, and a siege had recently been lifted.  Nothing wacky is happening that I know of, no invaders, no caravans, no water nonsense.  No one is tantruming.

It's not happening at a consistent point.  I have a well, but I've had it for several years and it's been in constant use.  Any suggestions?

[Bondo]

Actually, I suspect it might have to do with this:  http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=001874

I recently destroyed a craftdwarf workshop and I know there were bone bolts in it.  I imagine my crossbowdwarf is trying to get bone bolts to practice with.  I'm certain that this problem was crashing me earlier, when I tried to draft a bunch of new crossbow users.

I take back my take-back.  After removing my crossbowdwarves from the military, I still get the freeze.  Conditions still the same as above.

Is anybody unhappy or lower? Doesn't even have to be tantruming. Just lower than ' Fine ' will cause freezes.

[Bondo]

I didn't realize that below a 'fine' would cause problems.  I have a wounded fellow at 'fine' at the moment, I'll have to see about perking him up or throwing him in the pit.

Yeah, It seems to be some issue with them changing their happiness level when they are in that region that causes freezeups. I had a fort of about 30 dwarves that were all starving and thirsty. All of them had red arrows on them and the game froze up for 2-3 minute periods almost every 2 frames.

[Bondo]

I've had the unhappy stop and go before, but this is a one way freeze.  A freeze of no return.  A 'lock up', perhaps.

I've had the same problems and it never occurred to me that it could be caused by unhappy dwarves. Now that I look at it though it does make sense since I had a lot of unhappy dwarves in my military due to injuries and the loss of friends from sieges.
