I just started a new world with everything but stonesense and mouse control hacks on.  I've also tweaked the raws to make dwarves faster.  I've gotten 3 separate crashes in my first season, during all different times, any idea how to troubleshoot this?

I have the same problem.  I spend more time looking at "DwarfFortress.exe has crashed" than I do playing the game.

Yeah, made 3 separate forts only to have them eventually corrupt on me with all the crashes. A lot of it happened when I was saving, or when I was pulling open a large interface like stocks or military.

Its gotta be Starter pack.  I dont see anyone else crashing with vanilla.

Here are the instructions how to enable crash dumps on Windows. They will greatly help. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138754.msg5624349#msg5624349

My game always stops responding when quitting.

Do you have graphics enabled? If you have TwbT enabled, what happens if you disable it?

[davsim]

I set it to standard and it doesn't crash on quitting anymore.

I'm having the constant crash issue as well.  I have tried PrintMode as 2D and Standard, tried removing the TWBT dll.  It seems to make no difference whether I use any utilities or not.

I got through the first year without issues, crashed in month 3 of year two and started over from the seasonal save at 1/1.  Since then I've not been able to get a month of play, though sometimes it is 1-3 days after load, sometimes a week or two.  Ive been autosaving, and my current save is 1/23 and the last several loads have not gone more than 2 days after a load.

This post sends to another with instructions on uploading dumps, but neither says where they should be uploaded.  Is there a preferred place, or should I just stick them somewhere and provide a url?

Have you built any constructions over trees? That's a common crash that's new in 0.40.24.

I have a wall set to build at the end of a tree branch.  I'll give that a shot.

Edit: That seems to have been it.  Thanks much.

Thanks for those advices on crashs because I'm experiencing those more than once per dwarven year, too.

Does anyone know how I can autosave more regularily than seasonal? For example, each month or even each week?

[davsim]

Type quicksave in dfhack.

I'm having a strange problem with the r4 and r5 packs. When I try to select ASCII as the tileset I get an error message, it tells me to check the output log but none is created. I've tried redownloading both versions with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a screenshot of the problem:

That does save the game, but can it also autosave so that I don't have to remember it?
