Game crash shortly after start of ambush attack
« on: May 16, 2014, 10:33:40 pm »
I need some help, I am running MW DF v4j on a Windows 7 box. Game runs fine up until the first ambush happens then game crashes. Crash is repeatable after loading last save and ambush happens again. I've removed the world and rebuilt then tryied a new embark, same issue, I've removed and downloaded the software, same issue. I've applied the large memory addressing and that didn't help. Turned off TT font just in case, no change. I'm sad  :( I want to play but can't get past this issue.

Any tips in troubleshooting would be great. Thanks

What tileset are you using? Different ones do weird stuff. Is Rendermax on? Because Rendermax does weird crashes all the time. What race ambushed you? Does it say something about "Nemesis units"? If so, then its a savefile corruption bug that triggers on loading a siege, ambush, megabeast or caravan. Does the errorlog say anything fruitful? It might help better modders and coders then me figure out more about the crash. Is "Druidism/lua" mentioned at all? Historically, those Gnomish plugins to DFhack have caused a couple big problems. Upload a save, to see if its an issue with your computer or with the mod. If all else fails and Masterwork 4j doesn't work at all, then go back two versions[Version 4h is pretty badly bugged] and see if that works. Hope that helps.

Tileset is 'Masterwork - Obsidian' and Rendermax is off and Truetype is on. The ambush was from the goblins.

My settings are all default from when you first install the game. I'm playing as Dwarf. Perhaps I will jump back a few versions and see what happens.

I looked at the errorlog.txt file and nothing in it from the time of crash. I get this at various times in the log but I don't think it's related.

Get rid of digging invaders, they are currently broken. And you shouldn't just turn them off on the launcher panel, you should comment out all lines in the dfhack.ini file that deal with digging invaders.

Casei thanks, I did as you suggested and it appears to have worked. I have now gotten past my first ambush without a crash. I'll update again if it happens again.

Now hopefully my fortress makes it to the next attack :)

Good luck!

Take this Moleweasel Kit with you. It's dangerous out there.
