After this crash happened several times to me, I started making saves much closer to the point of crash. My savefile from about 10-15 days prior always froze as well, but I just made this save so that it would be just a couple seconds before the freeze.

Anyway, here is the save that will crash a few seconds after loading:

Also, if you fix this, is it possible to send a fixed save to me? I'd love you to death. Let me know.

Okay, I've downloaded this into the pile of saves, and I'll take a look when I get back to work.  In general, the new version will either fix the crash and allow you to play from the same files, or the files are shot.  Mostly, saves are recoverable, but it's impossible to know without seeing what's going on.

I've tried this four times, and it's not crashing here after about a minute.

I have a problem i think may be the same. I'll upload my save file later today.

EDIT:

I emailed the save file.

It does not crash if i pause the game. i'll try and issolate the issue now.

The game STILL crashes every time from this, before I'm able to see this announcment in game. I tried marking my trade depot for destruction, and still nothing. I sent you the correct save file, too. The crash happens within a few days of game time.

Do you by chance have 'sew cloth image' or 'sew silk image' in your clothier shop? That job will crash you the second it becomes active.

[Foamy]

I don't think so. there's nothing scheduled there and they don't do it automatically.

[Stromko]

New crash bug then. Good job! Though I've heard trade depots have been a big problem before, so this is just new to me, maybe not to Toady. I'm sure he'll figure something out once he wades through the pile of bugged saves and focuses on ones like these.

FF, I got that merchant event to arrive without incident (once followed by a goblin siege!), and this was before I had fixed the crash upon merchant arrival.  It's possible it was that same crash though, since the way it works, it might not trigger in every configuration.  It's quite possible it'll function correctly with the next version.

I'll take a look at the other save in a bit.  Most of the crashes I'm receiving now have been fixed, fortunately, so the overall situation is looking better.  I think the one where it crashes when you actually trade some specific selected items is still open, unless it was always seeds, in which case it's fixed.

[Toady One]

Looks like the Foamy one was the well crash.  That save will work in the new version.

[FFLaguna]

This is fixed with the new version. Thanks, Toady One!
