BUG: Game does not respond when I die in adventurer mode
« on: December 01, 2009, 07:14:30 pm »
Basically, whenever I die in adventurer mode it says "Hit escape to finish". I hit escape. Nothing happens. I let the game sit for a while. Nothing happens. I tentatively hit escape again, hit enter, escape, mash the keyboard... nothing happens. The game reports changing FPSes and if I get killed by something that blinks due to legendariness, it continues to blink.

This has happened on two different worlds and I've only ever made it to the finish screen once. Is this normal or have I just embarrassed myself by missing the obvious? I couldn't find anything with search, but also couldn't figure out any good search terms.

Version is .40d16. Killing the process is the only way to recover from this state.

Known bug with .40D16

Go tell the OpenGL project developers.

They know about it already, and are working on it, feverishly.

Here is the link: FotF: Dwarf Fortress 40d16

It's an unintended consequence of messing with only part of the source code for Dwarf Fortress, since Toady One is very protective of his goods.  "NO ONE TOUCHES THE SOURCE MY PRECIOUS"
He only allows the project developers to work with part of it, and it causes a couple of bugs.

Yeah, it's fracking annoying.  If you are quick, you can actually exit after dying.  No idea why it happens, although it's hardly the only bug the adventurer has to learn to deal with.

Remember: The 40d# series is NOT under Toady One directly, and doesn't really need to be reported to him.

The trick is to NOT press Spacebar to clear the announcements after you die.  It'll pick up the Esc keypress if it's waiting for you to press Space, but not otherwise.
