Un-retire fortress crashes - help requested
« on: December 04, 2014, 01:21:17 pm »

I'm (trying to) play a fortress/adventurer succession game with Smeeprocket. Unfortunately the game has, again, become unplayable due to crashes after the fortress is unretired.

save file link at end of bug report notes

If anyone has experienced similar crashes, please post notes and preferably save file links in the bug report.

Suggestions as to possible causes, or workarounds, would be very gratefully received.

adventuring after the year was done was a really good idea too. :/

Don't know any workarounds. I've heard that retiring an adventurer in a fort and then unretiring it consistently causes crashes though.

This happened to me too, and it happens because of a caravan arriving on site. At least for me it did. A bug report was made about it but it's stuck in the "acknowledged" phase.
When the game crashes, go to the gamelog.txt in the main folder and see what the last item is. If it was like mine, it will say some liaison or caravan arrived.

Don't know how to fix it though. Besides totally abandoning and reclaiming the fort.

I do know these ones aren't due to caravans, because some of them happen during Winter. I know the caravan one, that hit me a lot in the Shadow Empires community game.
