Help with crash issues
« on: April 28, 2011, 05:51:39 pm »
Hi there,

I have been playing a fortress for a while, using a few mods (civ forge and genesis). I have a save now that, on season change (from winter to spring), it crashes. I have read the forums for a while and there seems to be a few reports of such issue. My question is, is there anything I could try, by modifying my saves, to prevent this crash? What are the common causes?

Thanks.

I realized that deletinh my baron fixed the issue. What could be happening?

I'm not sure, but removing nobles fixes many things :D

I have had similar issues of sorts... although I've had it happen repeatedly on a laptop, it doesn't happen for me on a computer with a faster cpu and more memory. Which seems to suggest that in my case it relates to DF's memory usage somehow, given that it crashes at autosave times... or when it eats enough memory that Windows forces a shutdown for some reason or another...

I see, I am running it at a 4gb ram computer, and DF is hardly scratching 1gb, so I think my issue has another cause. As a development, I think it's not at season change, as I believed. Instead, it is caused when a caravan arrives. I toggled my baron dead flag to true, which seems to have fixed the problem. Still lost at the cause though.
