Hey guys, so I have a problem, namely I can't get the starter pack to run at all. When I try to run it, it asks for permission, and then nothing opens. I've tried all compatibility modes, running as admin, even older versions (0.44) and nothing seems to work.

Did you put it in a program files folder?

"The pack must be able to read/write files though - so don't put it in a "Program Files" folder."

[Markonj]

Nope, it's in a folder on my desktop

the path to your desktop folder contains your windows username. does your windows username contain non-ascii characters?

what happens if you put it in like "c:\games\dwarf fortress" instead?

[Markonj]

Same thing happens, i.e nothing. Put it in C and D and nothing.

sounds like something might be wrong with extracted files, or maybe even the downloaded zip file. i would try downloading the zip file again, and then extract from the new one

Hi! I created a set of .dfstock files for use with stocksettings, and would like to submit them for inclusion in the Starter Pack, Lazy Newb Pack, etc. These stockpiles are organized as inputs for each industry and workshop.

What is the process for getting them added?

Pretty sure that's not it, since I've tried multiple versions of the starter pack, none of whom seem to work.

I mean it sounds like a permissions problem. Maybe try creating a new user that's an administrator and see if it works for that account.

The above assuming this is Windows.

Can you confirm that the full path to DF doesn't contain any non-ASCII characters? (Just to be clear, since this is a pretty common issue.)

Otherwise, is there anything in stderr.txt, stdout.txt, stderr.log, or stdout.log in the folder containing PyLNP?

I have a few accounts, tried them, even did C:/Users/Public, still nothing. Also no new files are created after running.

Hello, I think I have a similar problem as yours. In fact about 6 months ago mine pack suddenly stopped opening. I was busy at that time and didn't bother. However recently I downloaded the new version and it did not run at all from the start, also it never even asked for any permissions. BTW the vanilla DF itself always works fine. I tried to look for the problem through the Event Viewer. However for me it's logs look like gibberish and not indicating what exactly is at fault. But still maybe it will be useful:

When clicking the "Download the latest Starter Pack here!" Link, I get a "Server not found" message.

Anyone else got this problem ?
