[40d11] Crash Log?
« on: March 28, 2009, 08:45:38 pm »
My latest game went kerflewie shortly after the first merchant caravan left my trading post.  There was no warning and no noticeable glitches before.  I did not have save at each season turned on.  Is there any thing I should post either here or to the map archive to help find the cause of the crash?

On OSX, you can pull up Console, which is an application located in /Applications/Utilities. It should have some text from the time the program crashed. It may also refer to a crashlog, which will be located somewhere under /Users/Your user name/Library (it'll give a path). If you do paste the crash log, put it behind a spoiler tag since it's huge.

I don't know about other OSes, though.

There should be an errorlog.txt in your DF folder.  Was there any error message or anything when the game crashed?

there is no errorlog.txt.  The only message I got was from Windows Vista saying that DF had stopped responding to the system and would be shut down.
