I just changed some minor settings to a default download of this pack, (no intro, no sound)
and then when I'm about to embark the game just dies on me.

It doesn't say anything good in the logs, what should I do?

It's probably a TWBT embark crash.

In the launcher, in the Graphics tab, click on "Print Mode:" until it reads "Print Mode: STANDARD" and do your embark again. Once you've fully embarked with your wagon on the ground, save, quit, go back into the launcher, Graphics tab, and set it back to "Print Mode: TWBT" and you should be able to play that embark normally from then on.

Are you using the "-R2" version of the pack? I got a crash when embarking on R1 of the 0.47.05 pack, but I thought R2 fixed it.

PeridexisErrant, have you considered splitting the Phoebus tileset? Like so:



Considering TWBT is on by default, it would make the game look better for most users.

Hello, I have an issue with starting DF via LNP. The game instantly crashes on startup, it only starts successfuly when I set the Graphics mode to 2D. Neither Standard, TWBT or TWBT Legacy seems to work. I've also tried several of the Tilesets to no avail.

The game ran without problems a few months back on this laptop, with the same Win10 installation. The only thing I can think of is that some Windows update screwed something up.

Can anyone give me some things to try? Playing with 2D isn't really a problem, but I would like the additional TWBT options.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know. STANDARD and TWBT modes use OpenGL while 2D uses SDL.


You might try updating your graphics card driver or maybe upgrading to an older version if that doesn't work.

Thank you jecowa, OpenGL configuration/installation was slightly f-ed on my machine. Got it working now!

@PeridexisErrant: Just suggesting (more like shilling, given the current state of development) a possible replacement here for Dwarf Portrait (which was experimental and long since abandoned, according to its programmer) (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=177615.0)

Heads up guys, my windows defender just found a trojan in "Dwarven Mockup" in the newest version.  Something called "skeejer" or "skeever".

It's a false positive. DwarfMockup even includes a readme that mentions it.

Jecowa identified an issue with Announcement Window's config pointing to the wrong gamelog path: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/m84l0o/biweekly_df_questions_thread/griitdf/

The last mention of this I could find was here, so I figured it should be brought up in this thread.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am not seeing anything on the announcement window utility while playing. Is this a known issue with that mod or do I need to change some setting on the pack to get it working??

You need to point it to your gamelog.txt for it to read it. Should be a menu option within the utility.

I've got a weird issue. I've got the most recent version of the DF Starter and Dwarf Therapist wont start up unless my computer is connected to the internet. The game and DF hack pop up fine but if I try to start up therapist offline nothing happens. No task manager activity or anything..just a 1/4 second thought spin. If I start up therapist while online it pops up fine and continues to work if I immediately disconnect. Is it calling home for updates or something?

[lethosor]

What version of Dwarf Therapist are you using? There is an auto-updater, which was improved in October and those improvements should be in DT 41.2.0 and newer. If you can find the DT version number, and it's newer than that, the Dwarf Therapist thread might be a good place to ask.

[Evrett33]

version 41.2.1

[jecowa]

I'm guessing it is having to download the memory layouts so it can use them. And for some reason it can't save them, so it's having to re-download them every time.
