[39b] Crash to desktop
« on: July 17, 2008, 05:03:59 am »
I had DF crash on me yesterday evening.  A swordsman and my character had just defeated a Giant in a cave.  The swordsman was unconscious but alive.  I hit (T) to travel away and hopefully recover some wounds, but I got:
Code: [Select]
Application popup: Dwarf Fortress: dwarfort.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".I have a zip of the save folder after the crash if that's any help.

In a fat-fingered moment while setting up another military squad I accidentally created a captain of the guard rather than a militia captain.  His squad of near-legendary hammerdwarves equipped with high quality silver hammers then took it upon themselves to dispense justice to all the mandate breakers in the fortress.  It was quite messy.

What's the setup with the save?  Is it before the travel?  Or the world before the adventurer started?  It'll probably only be useful in this case if the crash can reproduce.

It's a zip of the region and current folders just after the CTD.  Probably no use at all.

Just had the same again, only this time, I was with a Swordsman and a Wrestler, neither of whom were unconscious.  We killed a Giant in a cave, and (T) travelled away, then got the same crash and message.  The map screen comes up fine, the crash happens when you first try to move.

Oh, and it's 39e now.

I've seen this before, but it's been impossible to reproduce.  Was there a pre-crash save?  I don't suppose those'll be easy to come by.  It might not even be possible, depending on how the bug works.
