Some of you are probably having dependency problems on linux (libstdc++ too old).

A fix is in the pipeline for when Toady wakes up; for the moment, you can fix it by unpacking http://brage.info/~svein/libs.tar.gz in the DF directory.

Oh, and yep, intro tends to crash it. Turn it off, for your sanity.

Any fix for my embark problem?

[Baughn]

Sorry.. what embark problem?

The new DF release works fine in XP for me. On my somewhat older laptop, it appears to have doubled the low end of the framerate on my current fort (from 9-26 FPS on regular 40d to 18-26 FPS on this one). No change to the upper framerate reached, but still not bad at all. Partial Print seemed to make no real difference whether enabled or disabled.

Another small oddity, the regular 40d window opens properly aligned (I have it windowed in as large of a window as I can get), but this new one has it open spaced down and to the right a short distance so that I have to drag the window back up into position each time I open DF.

I can't get it to work yet.  According to Dependency Walker, there's some problem with mpr.dll.  I have this .dll, but it's not working correctly or something.  I don't know, I'm looking at Dependency Walker and don't really know what all this stuff means, so I just took a screenshot:

I do not believe that is actually the source of the problem.  Perhaps your openGL drivers are out of date or somesuch.

Programs do fail for odd reasons but I just cannot believe that function would be used inside of dwarf fortress

As a side note, this has reduced my framerate from 4 to 3 fps in my fort. Perhaps my fort was about to go there anyhow though.

Was there a fix inbetween 40d and 40d2 for the cat's mouth problem? Because out of the box the workaround seemed to have broken 40d's save compatability with 40d2.

If not I'll just add that little bit in there myself to fix that issue.

Is this version any good for practical play? Are any (new) non graphic-related issues possible? Does foreman work with it with 40d settings?

[Hamel]

Eh, all my legendarys are flashing between graphic and non-graphic dwarf tiles. But on a happier note, my FPS seems to have gone up quite a bit.   

EDIT: Also, I am unable to hold down two arrow keys to move the screen at a diagonal angle.

OKay, people.

The "error in program configuration" bug is a known bug, and is solely cause by my lack of MSVC skills; Toady should have no trouble fixing it.

If you have *other* problems, please mention them. If you have that one, you can fix it by installing the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package, which can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

It wasn't fixed by Toady, and it didn't fix with the MSVC++2k8 libs, restarting to see if that's needed.

Nope, still doesn't work. Same errmsg. "The application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

For the linux and OS X users, as it turns out the timer code is even more inefficient than I thought it'd be.

I'm rewriting it to use a *much* more efficient version, using interval timers.

(Note: v key is broken)
More info:
E'ent 'iewer says it generates 3 SideBySide errors each time I attempt to run 40d2.

*download 40d-v2*
*embarks on as large an area as possible with mountains, a chasm, HFS, lava, a river, etc*
*waits a minute or so for my CPU to stop committing suicide trying to create everything*
*waits another 30 seconds for CPU to load all the wildlife*
*FPS varies between 20-25*

O_O

The new DF doesn't even run for me. On running the .exe, I get an error prompt telling me the application failed to start because it's configured improperly.

I tried downloading a fresh version of the package, and got the same results.
