I cant tell how long until it crashes,about 2-10 minutes when doing nothing else than scrolling around.

All right, I'll set this to run sometime soon and see what I can figure out.

I've set this to run a couple of times with no crashes.  I'll keep trying periodically.

I'm getting almost precisely the same crash behavior.  I'd post my save, but i'm having trouble packing it below 8 megs...
If you need another example to debug, just ask and i'll try to email it to you or somesuch.

I tried narrowing it down a bit today, but i didnt really find much, other than it seems that a clean, fresh install does not crash.

Only after changing things in the init.txt it is has happend again, literally a few seconds after i copied my old init file.

Only changes i made there:
[INTRO:OFF]
[WINDOWED:YES]
[WINDOWEDX:800]
[WINDOWEDY:600]
[FONT:curses_800x600.bmp]
[VARIED_GROUND_TILES:NO]
[ENGRAVINGS_START_OBSCURED:YES]

I have had problems of my game crashing when I would go to a ruins to level up in wrestling. After a while I would leave the area and it would just get stuck at the "offloading site" screen and not finish. I would re-enter the game and load from a previous save but while walking aound on the world map I would crash within 10 squares. This would happen until I load a fresh copy of the game. Unfortunately I deleted the old folder so I cannot post the save file.

I've had this problem also. The game would crash 2-10 minutes in no matter what I did. It seemed to happen when my Trade Minister made a mandate, but that might have been a coincidence. Eventually what I did was play 1 minute at a time, saving and loading. The problem went away after a few times.

I managed to crash the game, and find some bugs with objects, but I'm not sure exactly how. Here's what I did:
* Picked up a bunch of dropped equipment, including backpacks from my previous characters who had died.
* Went to a human town and tried to drop some rocks that seemed to be in the backpacks. It said I was dropping and throwing rocks from my inventory inside the packs, but the items were not being removed from my packs, though I could throw them and see a rock flying.
* Went underground in the human town and tried to drop the packs themselves. I think this is what caused the program to crash.

In another case after visiting the same cave after the crash (I hadn't saved the game since the previous character's death, so the giant-slayer seems not to have existed now), I suddenly noticed my speed had dropped. Studying my equipment, apparently it is because two of my pieces of clothing (backpack and wineskin, I think) have TURNED INTO FROGMAN CORPSES. I now have a frogman corpse on my back, and another on my belt... I then left the cave location (corpses still on), and walked one square on the overland map, and the program crashed again.

This is with some mods to the equipment files in place. I just adjusted some of the values of weapons, and added some weapons and armor types, and added references to them in entity_default.txt.

I had played a few characters to death before that started happening, though.

Edit: I am running 19b on Windows 2003 Server.

I believe i figured out why my session kept crashing.
Somehow, a sandstone rock wound up in the lava river without being destroyed.

At the time, i had a magma smelter under construction overlapping the offending space.  Once the building neared completion, the program crashed.  Canceling the building seems to have prevented the crash.
Have fun figuring out how that rock wound up there without being destroyed, though. >_>

[Toady One]

All of these crashes are probably different.

Atan, I'll try out the init changes and see if it does anything.

PvK, I think 19b has a lot of errors like that.  Universes that go through that one have strange things happen.

Chains, if you still have a save that crashes reliably I'd like to see it so I can figure it out:

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

Thanks Toady One the Great! I'll update to the latest version and make a new world.
