Help me, freeze
« on: March 21, 2011, 07:42:28 pm »

I made an adventurer, went into the first house, talked to the first person I saw, asked about services, and then this.



What fixes this?

It's a known bug, here's the bugtracker entry: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=4165.

You can still report quests to lords in fortresses, which are marked as O on the "shift+q" map.

So there's absolutely nothing I can do about it? Damn, I wanted to play Adv mode so bad. ><

You mean you still get the crash after you find a human mob with profession lord/lady in the keep in a fortress, talk to them with "k" and report success? You don't need to report success for the quest giver per se btw, you can do that to anyone who isn't hostile or in your party.

Alternatively, you could try to report success for more than one quest at the time. Ask for surroundings from anyone, find a lair or camp, go there and kill it and you can then return the quest as normal even if you didn't get it beforehand. That sometimes makes you able to turn quests in to non-lord humans, and allows you to do quests even if the "service" question causes crash..

I can't GET another quest. Any time I talk to someone about services, it freezes. I haven't found a lord, but I don't think this little farming village it started me in even has one.

Yeah, noticed that. In this case just do what I adviced in the second paragraph above.

Ie.

Is it a .21 problem? Because I didn't have such problems in my mod in .19.

Yeah, I think it's only .20 and .21 bug.

Hmm, when I play, I occasionally get that, but usually not. But it's happening to you every time? Weird.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

Go kill a few more named people, then come back. It's what I've done when this happens, and it's worked 100% of the time for me. I tend to save right before I talk to a person about services/bragging just in case I need to do it multiple times.

I guess the point is moot, but I genned a new world and that seemed to fix the problem. I figure it must have been related to having a pocket world with unusual amounts of megabeasts and civs.
