Crash upon loading
« on: December 16, 2006, 12:24:00 am »

Possibly related to this bug: http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=000777

Downloaded the new version, copied the save over, and started playing. Upon trying to reload the save, though, the game crashes.

Edit: I have a backup from before this occurred as well as the current save.

Edit 2: And on top of this, I just created a new world, and the game crashes upon getting past the introduction screen that gives the name of your fort..

I can't get the introductory crash to happen here -- I think that bug has actually been around for a long time.  If you have one that's happen reliably, that would help.

I'm not sure what's causing the load failures, and if this flavor of it is only happening on saves from the previous version.  From what I've seen, the crashing save won't help, but the working backup save might, especially if it's becoming corrupted regularly.

toadyone@bay12games.com or somewhere downloadable
region#.sav + region# folder in some kind of zip/rar

Okay, I've fixed this now.  Saves from 0.22.120.23b aren't going to be very happy loading into 0.22.121.23a.  I'm going to try to post a fix tonight.
