Reasons embark would crash? Solved
« on: August 09, 2018, 05:20:09 pm »

Been searching trying to fix this. IDK.. maybe someone has an idea.
Memory should be fine. I am on medium world with 4x4 embark. Had been fine with large worlds 5x5 np but the world lag became too much.
Using lazy newb pack with temperature and weather off, no utilities or hack on. I use the no rust mods and swimming +5. I don't put points on swim before embark that should be fine. Usually take extra alcohol and 4 dogs.
I've been crashing a lot right at embark on the newest version.
Would lots of civs in the world cause crash? I'm at a loss. Takes too long to test things loading world. PC is solid. I7-4790 12gbRam. Does where I keep dwarf fortress install matter on Windows10? I keep the whole game in a file on desktop.

I figured it out! If I make the screen small it loads up on embark every time. Even with 5x5 and 12 start dwarves. I don't know why this version is harder on my PC but it do.

What, playing the game from a ZIP FOLDER? Or a regular folder in desktop?
Try unzipping to like C:\temp\DF\

==OldGenesis mod== by Deon & TomiTapio. Five wood classes, four leather classes. Nine enemy civs. So much fine-tuning.

Are you using TWBT? This sounds exactly like issues with TWBT that have been reported before.

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

No sense in starting a new thread; found this one doing a search.  I'm having the crash issue as well.  Is the TWBT thing still a problem?  Sometimes I crash somethimes I don't but this seems to be the culprit.

No, they went to Hel, where they lead a bleak existence in cold and darkness. Valhalla is reserved for valiant warriors.

I haven't heard the TwbT issue has been addressed. I'm seeing it with the latest DFHack.
