i downloaded python 3.8 to run

[Thorocaine]

What Python version are you using when you run from source? Does the path to your DF installation contain any non-ASCII characters? I'm guessing this may be a Unicode issue with Python 2, which I think the pre-built EXE still uses.

So Python I used is 3.8 (Installed this today, and just the latest from the website).

The compiled version is running from "C:\Dwarf\Starter Pack Launcher (PyLNP).exe"
The source is running from "C:\Users\me\source\repos\python-lnp\..."

I know its a relatively minor thing, but I noticed that one of the embark profiles came preloaded with a wooden training axe. Once upon a time this would have worked fine for tree's, but now that DF no longer allows this type of axe to cut a tree, it only provides a specific flavor of 'fun'.

Perhaps this could be removed/changed ?

Hey there!

I maintain the embark profiles and you gave me a fright there for a moment, but I see you're talking about Meph's profiles "starting_scenarios" and or "tutorial_profiles," both of which are unmaintained legacy lists. I'll see if the writers wish to update them and proceed from there!

Thanks for pointing this out!

Not sure if this is an LNP or PyLNP issue, but I tried to start a second DF copy from PyLNP, which brought up a window saying it was already running, do I want to start it anyway. Pressing Yes, however, just brought up the same dialog again and again (not a serious problem, as it's easy enough to start the other copy manually). Version used: 0.47.04 r01 on Windows 10.

Trying to figure out why but I downloaded the latest starter pack preview and announcement window was not working. It wasn't picking up any of the announcements. Is there something I can do to fix this?

I have a problem with the current betta version. For some reason it crashing when im try to embark. Is this common? And where i can see the log files?

Without knowing anything about the details of whats crashing, try making the DF fortress window very small and zooming way out right before you embark.  After it loads you can return to normal window size and zoom.

I would honestly suggest zooming in if you suspect graphics issues - that will result in fewer tiles displayed, which could help. (At least, I would expect it to help more than increasing the number of displayed tiles, but I don't expect either to be a particularly likely fix.)

Assuming this is reproducible, you could try disabling TWBT and/or switching to another print mode in the launcher (STANDARD, 2D) to see if that makes the issue go away. Unfortunately, there are likely no log files that will tell you what the issue is here - crashes are caused by unanticipated issues, and logging human-readable information about why DF crashed is usually harder than simply preventing DF from crashing.

Does the object testing arena also cause it to crash?

Click Announcement Window's "Settings" menu and choose "Set Directory". Find the "gamelog.txt" in your DF installation's folder.

The window size and zoom thing is a known issue with DF.  Every time I've ever played DF I've experienced it.  Same monitor and graphics card, different everything else including DF versions.  If I forget to zoom out and make the window small its crashing on embark.

Known by whom? Does it only happen with TWBT? Have you checked if it's been reported anywhere? Are you sure it not this TWBT bug?

It is not that bug.  It is widely known and may be related to TWBT.  Google "dwarf fortress crash on embark window size" and your first page are mostly valid hits.  I have no idea if its been reported, trying to navigate the bug tracker for DF is like trying to find that vampire that keeps killing your dwarf children in their bedrooms while their parents are at work.

If it only happens with TWBT then it is NOT a DF bug - it is a TWBT bug. Searching that github's issues for "embark window size" returns 1 issue about something else. If it's not known to the dev, then it's not known to only people that matter.

I've only occasionally seen reports of this, but of the ones I found from your Google search, all of the results from the DF bug tracker are resolved (either fixed or unable to reproduce), and there are several more reports from Bay12/Reddit linked to TWBT.
I guess I can see how a smaller DF window would help avoid TWBT issues, but that's only a workaround. I agree with Ziusudra that reporting it at https://github.com/mifki/df-twbt/issues is the best way to get visibility for it.
