Hi folks.
So i was/am suffering from this crash, since like version 0.40 or something, and i was wondering what the status is at the moment. Is it being investigated?

i'll shortly explain what happens.

sometimes when i go to a unit and press "v" to view, or "f" to follow, the game crashes to desktop. this does not happen without DFhack. It may be, that it only happens after i zoomed from the unit view, but i am not sure.

At first i thought it was TWBT causing it, cause there are people saying in forums that it causes crashes, but it also happens with standard or 2D print mode.

what i have also noticed:

it doesn't seem to happen when i am playing a new fort, and it always seems to be happening the first time, after i have loaded a savegame. but i am not 100% sure of this. I think after it crashed the first time, it also happens on new forts. But it could also be that it happens after a long time in game, and coincedentally happens at a time when you'll be thinking about saving.
also, i only had the game crashing on pressing "v" when TWBT activated, ond crashing on "f" without it. but that may be coincedence, since i almost always played with TWBT. It just occured to me that way, because it never crashed on "f" when i had TWBT on. and that was most of the time. 

Also noteworthy maybe:
About a year ago, i upgraded my graphics card And just recently, i upgraded motherboard, RAM and CPU. Always played on Win 7 64 bit.

1. Wrong forum - this belongs in Utilities and 3rd Party Applications.
2. Stating that you've had problems "since version 0.40 or something" is completely worthless - unless you're using the absolute latest version of DFHack (0.43.05-r2, which was released 2 days ago), reporting bugs is pointless because it's possible we already fixed them.
3. Upgrading your computer hardware shouldn't have any effect on stability of DFHack.

Oh, i am sorry then. Maybe a mod can move this thread then.

I am using 43.05-r2 and it already happend again with that release.

In order to figure out what's causing the problem, we'll need to know exactly what you're using - please provide a listing of any custom DFHack plugins you are using, the contents of your "dfhack.init" file, and what PRINT_MODE you are using.

I haven't seen this issue, although I think I've heard of it once. The contents of stderr.log might also be helpful (plus stderr.txt, if it's 0.43.05 before DFHack 0.43.05-r2). Also, you could run the "install-info" script and post the contents of install-info.txt.
