Is anybody else getting an error with Quickfort?  I've never had a problem before, so it seems to be related to the 64x edition.  When I try press Alt-F to start a design I get the following error.  It is the same with every template, and I've restarted and run in administrator mode to try and fix it.  No joy.

Just a hunch: try putting the game in another drive like D:/... so it is not in C:

Minor question: In the standard error file I get the following message:

Running PyLNP 0.12a (OS: win, Compiled: True)
WARNING: JSONConfiguration: File PyLNP.user does not exist

But the pyLNP.user file is right there. Does this mean anything, and if not why the error message?

The first time you run PyLNP, the .user file doesn't exist, so it writes that message and then creates the file.  Then the error log is retained until something overwrites it!

Manually create this "macros" folder in your DF - "\data\init\macros" . This error was before, but sometimes DF distribution has this folder, sometimes no .

To PeridexisErrant. Please, make the folder for future release. For some reason, Toady deleted it in official release, but we need it .

Gah, I'm pretty sure this has happened before to some other utility I was working on.  Ah well, it should stay fixed in the starter pack.

I'm getting an appcrash error on load, I've installed both versions (x86, x64) of C++ 2015 redist update 3.

So what's the latest 32bit winXP friendly version with DwarfTheRapist?
It will be the last version i play until my new Hardware arrives.

I haven't supported XP since it reached Microsoft's end-of-life date, but the latest stable pack is 32bit.

thanks. well, i'll use the latest stable 32 bit version then

Try to disable autoupdate or install openssl... no idea why it crashes tbh. What windows is that? Can you attach /logs/run log so we can see what's going on?

Is it supposed to have two dots before the extension?

This is the solution!  Thank you.

That's generated by Quickfort itself.

I've been having issues with crashes when saving, which is extremely irritating, so I'm looking for tips of things to try to improve reliability.

More specifically, an attempt to save will sometimes crash instantly, before the progress bar shows up. Windows shows the "Dwarf Fortress has stopped working" popup.

I'm using the pack with Meph's tileset, which I haven't been able to switch out of due to getting errors. I found a fix in this thread but it didn't work - not that I especially want to swap out.

Things I've done that seemed to help:

• Turning off compressed saves
• Turning off DFHack's multilevel view

Those have also reduced similar crashes when loading.

From snooping around, it seems TWBT might be able to cause crashes, but I seem to pretty much need that with my tileset. I'm not sure what the difference is between TWBT and TWBT_LEGACY, but from messing around a bit the latter seems like it might be more stable. However, it seems to give completely different resolutions that I don't really care for.

Does anyone have any suggestions? It's pretty difficult to progress a game when every few attempts to save loses your progress.

Edit: It also seems to become less reliable the longer I go without saving.

You could try "quicksave". I doubt that compressed saves would be the issue, particularly if it's crashing early on, so I'd say TwbT would be the more likely cause. If you could obtain crash reports, that would help troubleshoot the issue.

This seems to help a lot. I hadn't had a crash on an autosave, and likewise quicksave hasn't failed yet either over 10 or 15 saves. Thank you very much for the suggestion.

As for crash reports, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. The Windows event viewer seems to show two different kinds of crash:

• Faulting module name: MSVCR100.dll; version: 10.0.30319.1; Exception code: 0x40000015. According to a quick search, that exception code is STATUS_FATAL_APP_EXIT. Faulting module is a DF file.
• Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll; version: 10.0.14393.479; Exception code: 0xe06d7363. According to a quick search, that exception seems to be used in a pretty general way by the Visual C++ Compiler for unhandled exceptions. Faulting module is a Windows file.

I don't know if any of this info is useful, however.

[lethosor]

Perhaps this is still relevant, if the issue appears to be TwbT-related. Also, MSVCR100.dll is no more a DF file than KERNELBASE.dll - DF just happens to distribute the former so people don't happen to install it to run DF. Either way, those don't provide much information other than "DF crashed", unfortunately.
