I just had the first random crash ever in playing Dwarf Fortress. I'm glad I kept backup save like the Magnificent Creator instructs us to do.

I tried reproducing it. The game crashed suddenly when a spring immigrant wave came. At the same time I was getting insane amount of "can't find path"-spam from a mechanic constructing a weapon trap. Apparentally one of the weapons he was told to use for it was inaccessible or something. (Wish inaccessible weapons didn't show up in the weapon trap loading list.)

Corrected:

The crash happens every time the bookkeeper arrives. Tried four times. Shortly after his arrival, the game crashes. I get no error message from the game, only general Windows warning about unstable program that must be closed. Masons guilddwarf arrives at the same batch too, so it could be him as well. Otherwise the immigrant wave has always been different.

I'm playing reclaimed fortress from the previous version, updated to the new one. I can send my save through email, if that is required. Pretty annoying, guess my playing ends here. I'll try it a few more times tomorrow, in case it magically doesn't crash  at Nth attempt.

I can take a look at it if you like.

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

[ctrlfrk]

Im getting it too.

the Manager Aban Shovethcog has arrived.
the Broker Dastot Kilrudm”rul has arrived.
the Bookkeeper Vucar Mebral has arrived.
Sheriff Vucar Koganistbar has arrived.
the Berite Id Inodtalin has arrived.

Then the game crashes.

[Toady One]

Hrm.  I'm not going to be able to patch this for a bit since I'm stuck in the middle of specific pile types.

*Sniffle*

Oh well, i guess this is an excuse to start working on my assignment which is due in 2 hours...

Although i so reckon i could steam the bastard as he arrives... i might try that.

Do you know what is causing the crash?

Specific stockpiles would be so handy...
Especially if you can say "only store bags CONTAINING sand"

Emailed those to you. Like Controlfreak said, I'm actually glad I got something preventing me from playing Dwarf Fortress all the time. Without it, I might actually get some real work done.

[Silveron]

Glad I held off on making coins so far in the new build  

[qalnor]

Ouch glad I read this before patching.

Which is something you guys should consider trying, I don't know if these saves are backwards compatible, but you might try reverting back before the recent changes if you're locked in to getting the bookkeeper.

A lot of those were my dwarves running out to collect the loot...
I think ill start a new fort and leave this one till the bug is fixed

I had this problem when my Manager and Broker came, after getting my first bookkeeper ever the prior year. I suspect the problem may lie in starting up an economy.

[Majestic7]

Hmm, if I install older version over the newer one, does it fix the crash and allow me to play on? Or should I just wait for patch?

[Toady One]

The old versions probably won't list the saves from the new one.  It's going to be about the patience.  Assuming piles work out smoothly (who knows), I should have it up by the end of the weekend.  Today, I'll be giving an exam and grading until midnight...  and then grading more.

[bbb]

um.. not entirely sure it's book keeper.. seeing as it didn't crash on me when they 1st appear (ie paused)

the Manager Logem —shrirbesmar has arrived.
the Broker Etur Delertiz”t has arrived.
the Bookkeeper Zon Uristrag has arrived.
Sheriff Ral Urvad—st has arrived.
the Masons Guildmaster Monom —shrireshtƒn has arrived.
the Berite Ducim Iklistvab“k has arrived.
High Sword Tosid •nulal†th has arrived.
Some migrants have arrived.
`sword I' Žkilfeb has engraved a masterpiece!
`sword I' Žkilfeb has become a Swordsdwarf.

i even managed to assign rooms to the nobles and have them walk a bit (ie.. unpaused) before it crashed.. can't tell if some other noble arrived.. (well.. they legged it across to the front of the fortress to be honest as i've edited the speed.. but the X over them hasn't disappeared yet)

as for save game.. don't think it'll do any good as it's like 24 hours since the last save! (which roughly translates to about maybe 1 year or 1/2 year game time)

fresh fortress.. (not reclaimed) but carried over from previous version.

[Toady One]

Well, whatever it is, I have enough saves now that I should be able to get it after I finish the specific piles.
