It's mules. For some reason, the game has invisible mules floating around. I have no idea why... I guess we'll have to find out what makes them invisible in the game eventually. For now, enjoy the weirdness

If the application fails to launch (version 2.1 only) ("The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002)"), you might be missing some runtimes. This should really only happen if Windows update hasn't run in ages or for any other reason is many years outdated. You can try downloading the Visual Studio runtimes from Microsoft:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (2.6MB)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (2.6MB)
NB! Some people have noted that the second package works better from this source, put up by

Actually it worked for me only after i install this one -

Got an odd new bug for you.  It seems terrain that is inside or underground and more than 2 z-levels tall dissapears. When viewed from more than 1 z-level up.

It's hard to explain but here's an example.  My current fortress, with a roof under construction.

Spoiler: Z+0 most everything is visible (click to show/hide)

There is a 3x3 area that dosn't show in this image because it goes deeper in the fortress and is suffering from the bug, but it is more obvious when you compare the pictures.

Spoiler: Z+1 the roof is being built 1 z level above. (click to show/hide)

In this image everything covered by the above roof more than 1 level below the camera has become invisible.  To the far west you can see the terrain only because the roof hasn't been finished there yet.

Still love the return of full embark screenshots though, I missed that.  Thanks Japa!

P.S. This is the version that was recently released with the new DFHack

yeah, I made stonesense skip anything that's occluded behind other stuff, but I didn't do a good job with it, so it's overzealous.

Just press 'o' to get them back.

Ah, that also explains why it's so much faster too then.  Thanks.

The whole fortress screenshot is not getting my whole fortress. 
Could it be because it is a (if I remember correctely) 4x3 embark?

That's going on my todo list.

It says connecting to Dwarf Fortress, and not only does it not do anything after that, it then lags my computer so badly that the only thing that works is the mouse (and that barely). Even ctr-alt-del is not working. I had to hard power my laptop, which as we all know is a terrible thing for a laptop. wtf is going on and how do I fix it, because I was really looking forward to using it.

After a full reboot, I decided to try it a second time just in case, and though it did not crash my computer this time, it just sat there on "trying to connect" until it crashed after about 2 minutes.

Well. Whatever version you have is pretty old. You can try fixing it by getting an update memory.xml file: https://github.com/peterix/dfhack/raw/legacy/Memory.xml (save as, rewrite the original one)

Alternatively, you can get the current DFHack release, which includes a much newer version of Stonesense along with a lot of other stuff.

Its not an old version, I literally just downloaded it yesterday from the link at the top of this forum. And when I click on the link you just gave me for the memory file, it does not download anything, it just brings up a new tab with a few hundred lines of programming code or html or something.

That link at the beginning of this thread IS the old version.
