Help with starting a new game after !FUN!
« on: March 26, 2013, 03:36:59 pm »
I have recently lost a fortress that i've been playing on for almost a week, and im trying to reclaim it. The problem is, when i launch the game, there is no "Start Playing" option on the home screen. I have run the backup several times, and i think its a problem with the save file itself, because it doesnt work on fresh installs of the game, with the same raws and inits. I am just befuddled at the complete inabilty to even start a new world. No matter what i try, the start playing option is never there.

Any dorfs out there more technically savvy than me?

Currently running:
Windows 7 service pack 1 build7601
Dfhack 0.34.11-r2
Core duo 2.93 ghz
4G of RAM
Plenty of HDD space, i think

Let's just rule out the obvious before trying to wrap our brains around file corruption issues. Normally 'Start Playing' only shows up after you've created a world but don't have a current fort or adventurer running in it. 'Create a new world' and 'Design a world with advanced parameters' should always be present. So what exactly are the menu options on the initial menu?
