[40d] Game crash - FATAL ERROR Nemesis Unit Load Failed
« on: March 23, 2009, 03:48:51 pm »

Dwarf Fortress constantly crashes at the same moment every time, heres a screenshot of the crash.

Furthermore I uploaded a safe taken a few steps before the actual crash.

I'm using the May Green tileset found here: http://mayday.w.staszic.waw.pl/df.htm
The errorlog.txt looked like this:

I made a backup of the errorlog, cleared it, loaded the save game seen above and it crashed again, errorlog remained empty.

this means your save file is corrupted, and the fact that it happens at the same time each time means it's likely the traders attempting to spawn that triggers it.

load a backup save or if you don't have any, new fort time :/

I had a similar problem once, and yes it's a corrupt set of save files (I had a save of a few hundred files, and a bad copy left me with only 14 files of ~350 in my DF directory.  You can guess how well that went over when the elven diplomats tried to visit :P)
