not sure if this is the right place to post

my fortresses were always crashing when they got to a certain size, or number of dwarves. investigation indicated it crashed 95% of the time upon reaching ~2gb of memory

i used large address aware:

this helped alot with the crashing, so im suggesting it should be done as standard, or did it do something to  my computer rather than dwarf fortress?

I wonder if this is related to a problem I sometimes have: my game crashes if I try to embark on too large a site.

There's a Mantis bug tracker for DF.  They ought to be able to help you out.

Possibly.

In other words: 64bit mode. Toady is aware of this issue, and will be implemented eventually. As always: no timeline.

LAA can't really be implemented in vanilla DF because it causes pathing errors for larger maps. I assume the fix would make it even harder to implement 64-bit DF.

[Putnam]

Does it cause pathing errors for larger maps, or do larger maps (only possible with LAA) simply have pathing errors?

[lethosor]

It's also worth noting that LAA is only necessary to use larger maps on Windows (as far as I know) - Linux and OS X don't have this 2 GB memory limit by default.
