Most likely the wrong place to post here, I am quite new but bug reports section is closed and the bug finder already has the bug registered but there is no fix.
So I'm sitting there, happily watching my dwarfs milling around, my military just killed a berserk dwarf and my game crashes with the message "Nemesis Unit Load Fail"

Spoiler: Very very big image (click to show/hide)

 Don't ask why it is so big.

This does keep happening, every time I load up my fort, 5 minutes and the game crashes with the same error.
Is there anything I can do about this? Or do I just ditch the fort and start over.

There is an open report here http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=1371 that you can post in and upload the game to.

Sounds like you have a very reproducible cause here. Does it happen whether your dwarves kill the berserk dwarf or not?

[DubDub]

I always killed the berserk dwarf, I'll wall him in now and see if I get a different result.
Oh and thanks for the link, I'll check it out now.

It seems that it's only the death of the berserk dwarf is the cause of the issue.
Don't have a clue to how or why, just need to fix it really.

[smjjames]

So it's only when the berserk dwarf dies via your military that it happens?

[DubDub]

No, dies in general, be it of starvation, military means, drowned, he isn't having any of it.

Hm, if you have DFhack, try putting the cursor over the berserk dwarf and doing 'slayrace him'*?

*Yes, I know the dwarf might be female, that's just how the command works.

Anyways, you definetly should upload the save to DFFA and post it in a note to the bug report I inked since there is a clear tie to that unit and will help Toady figure out the cause.

Edit: Also, I believe that the nemesis load fail means that your save is corrupted in some way, so yeah, you'll have to abandon that fort, or even the entire region save.

The "nemesis unit load failed" error specifically means that the game attempted to load the Unit information (skills, personality, inventory, injuries, etc.) for a particular historical figure (as indicated in its "Nemesis" record) from a specific unit-*.dat file but failed, presumably due to said file being missing or corrupted (or simply not containing a unit at the expected slot).
