Here are the test zips for SDL Windows:

If you use the 64 bit one, it would probably be best to stay away from the bug tracker and just post strange problems in here.

So far I hadn't any problem. I can't say if it is slower/faster than the 32 bits as my fortress has only 50 dwarves, so the fps is on cap.

For what's it's worth - I'm unable to reproduce the exit crash on either the 64 or 32 bit versions on both my 64 bit Window 7 machines. So that issue seems resolved now at least.

Yeah, Quietust posted a solution for that a few pages ago.

Win10 64bit
This might not be 64bit related, but it's just 50+ pages of this... The dog will eventually die I'm hoping.

Uhh.. Nevermind..

Notifications when fish give birth is the only new thing I've encountered so far.

Would there be any problems with importing saves from 0.43.03 into the versions in the newly posted zips?

(Exit crashes are fixed for me on XP as well, for what it's worth.)

Tested the 64bit version on the max embark size. Slow as hell, but otherwise seems fine.

Tried something similar, myself. (with df_sdl_64_wintest, 43.04) 
Generated a 500 year old world with 17k units, 10k dwarves and over 200k goblins in it.. then embarked on an entire region.
Ended up with just shy of 1.6GB of memory used (private working set), but everything worked as expected.  Honestly, I thought it would crash, but it didn't! 
In any other version of DF, trying to embark on a complete region (16x16 embark size) would have crashed it, guaranteed.

(world tile/embark tile/map tile, argh!)

Well, whenever the linux test is up I'll do my best to crash it out and fail, so that'll be awesome.

Also watched the dwarfmoot video last night, your little "come on down" dance was amusing, Toady.

You hit it right on the nose about the reason why the community is so nice, I called the 4chan /dfg/ thread a support group, the game beats you up enough trying to figure it out, no need to beat each other up.

Had a worldgen crash at 152 years with 64bit, so definitely not stable yet. Besides, worldgen is so excruciatingly slow that there's not much point genning thousands of years unless you like waiting hours of real time. I usually stop at 200, even the default of 1050 takes unbelievably long. Hopefully multithreading will give an enormous boost to it.

[Max™]

What size world, pop cap, site cap?

[Orkel]

The default settings with a medium region. What should they be at?

[Max™]

Just seems like useful info, especially if it can be reproduced.

I get weird world-gen crashes where the vast majority of the time nothing happens, but sometimes at weird seeming years it'll just poof and disappear. If it was specifically 32 bit or 64 bit related I'd expect it to be something like having a 257x257 with max pop/beasts/etc, but a medium world at year 152 sounds like one of the "something tried to link a culled reference" or whatnot error.

Ive gotten a couple years in on the 64 bit version and so far it is rock solid. Just playing like I normally do but with a slightly larger embark. Not a single crash or problem in sight. 

[malvado]

Just made a 64 Bit Huge World with everything set to max , allowed it to run for 352 years without problems.
Going to do a few test runs as well now.

Edit : Not really smart to embark on an Island, Water movement kills fps and a 16x16 map is really huge, but it worked. 4.3 Gig memory used I think ( or was it 3.4?).
Trying inland now to see if the water was killing fps.

[thvaz]

Playing for a while on the 64 bits version, no crash. And the fps is the same in either version. (42 with 150 dwarves and about the same number of animals)
