For the SDL version on the website, are those two files sufficient (put them in the folder with the exe), or does it give an additional DLL error?  I'd like to find the smallest set I can include without forcing anybody to run an installer.  I'll stay away from the /MT option if possible to keep DFHack running.

I have no idea what's going on with the exit crash...  was that only happening on XP/Win7 in the SDL version?

Using these gives me a missing "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-.dll" error.

Ah, I figured it out, the problem everyone here is having must obviously be that they're using windows for some reason, so they should switch to linux, pretty sneaky, Toady, but I approve.

Is this going to go the route of Cataclysm DDA? -_-

[Max™]

I don't know what that is.

[Random_Dragon]

I don't know what that is.

Another roguelike that I used to contribute to. It's had a number of Windows-specific problems because only a couple of the project managers do much with Windows.

Huh, I don't seem to have that file on my computer.  What Windows version is this?

[Nahere]

Windows 8.1, but it might be because I had problems getting this to work earlier and screwed something up.

Also, anymore figured out what specific shear stat determines whether how easy an item is to tear? Shear yield, shear fracture, shear strain at yield, or some combo of the above?

Did you install x86? x64 doesn't do anything. That's all i needed to install

[Quietust]

On Windows 7 SP1 x64, all 3 executables (plain Dwarf Fortress.exe, "new df exe", and "df_xp_test.exe") started successfully for me whether or not the 2 DLLs are present (since I apparently already have the 2015 runtime installed), but they all crash on exit as follows:

Looking in Dependency Walker, the following DLLs appear to be required:
msvcp140.dll
vcruntime140.dll
api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-filesystem-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-locale-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll
api-ms-win-crt-utility-l1-1-0.dll

I'm pretty sure the "official recommended standard procedure", when you aren't providing an installer package, is to instruct users to download and install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 if they don't already have it - once they've installed it for a single application, they never need to install it again (and I think Windows Update will keep it up to date for them going forward).

In fact, it's always been like this, even with Visual Studio 2010 - the reason it's usually not a problem is that most people install at least one program which requires the runtime and installs it for them.

Crash on exit seems to be a common issue with SDL (just google "sdl crash on exit"). Maybe you're freeing some SDL objects that you shouldn't and SDL tries to free them again on exit.

[Random_Dragon]

Okay. I...just...wow.

Tearing apart giant bone armor with DOG BITES is goddamn moronic.

[smariot]

My dwarves seem to be routinely climbing trees to escape whatever random thing they're terrified of, only to have no idea how to get back out of the trees and eventually die up there.

I'm not sure what horrible thing my wood cutter did to deserve having dead dwarves rain down on him, but I trust in Armok's wisdom blood lust.

These are from the new Universal CRT. Article here https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/03/03/introducing-the-universal-crt/ says you can distribute them with the app too. I'd personally prefer to have all DLLs bundled with DF, at least because it's always been like this. Btw, old runtime DLLs can not be removed from DF package so that they don't cause confusion.

Since you reported it crashes on exit with all three executables on Win 7 SP1 x64, while my previous test (on Win 7) showed it only crashed with the df_xp_test exe, I tried repeating the experiment a few times. Results: you're right. It consistently crashes with any of the exes. On my box, the post-crash diagnostic window only appears after a long delay, so I must have missed it the first time around by not waiting long enough.
