Hi, i just came up to my place, with an only idea, wich was to continue my fortress !
I started DF, and when i wanted to load my game, this message appear, with game crash !
Please, help me, i'm going stark raving mad !!!!

[Prologue]

It means you did something to your raws in your save file. Since you don't know what you deleted you should delete the file and start a new one. Just to be safe you should probably re-download DF again.

[Myr0ku]

WTF ? i've done nothing to any of the raw files !

[Prologue]

Apparently you did, else you wouldn't have gotten this error.

[Loud Whispers]

Redownload DF and try again. Your save may have become corrupted, which is possible without modding :/

[Myr0ku]

OK, my save is corrupted, i plan not to play DF tiil the next release for my mourning
RIP Ecamo Etha...
RIP The Universe Of Profecies

(Seriously, i'm very sad, non-DF-players can't understand that)

EDIT: i don't want to make the same mistake, do you know what can have corrupted my world ?

You could always try copying the game default raws from the raw folder into the data/save/regionwhatever folder for your save.  If just the raws are corrupted, that could fix it.

As for what could have caused it, did you have a crash while the game was being saved?  That can corrupt the world.

If you're really concerned about losing a game to corruption, turn on seasonal autobackups, so at most you'll lose the last season of progress if a save is corrupted.

My computer shut down at the title menu yesterday...
