Edit: Creating a new character had the exact same results, no clue as to why though. Your theory seems plausible , so ima get a new copy.

Doesn't this happen when you get a new version but don't delete the save folder?  I pretty much always delete the save folder before starting a new character anyway.

Update, 4/23.

Clean build required.  Saves obsolete.

Windows executable: http://whalesdev.com/cataclysm.zip
Linux executable: http://whalesdev.com/cataclysm.tar.bz2

Note: Those who have been following the plans for Defense Mode (and anyone who experiments with it) will notice that "Mercenaries" has no effect.  This feature has been deferred.

Features:

• Defense Mode.  This is a "coffeebreak" game that uses the Cataclysm engine, designed to be played and finished within 5-30 minutes.  It features the player defending a single location against waves of increasingly difficult monsters, supplied periodically by a "caravan."
• Game Mode Support.  The code is set up to make the development of new game modes rapid and easy.
• Customizable Keybindings.  You can edit data/keymap.txt, a file which contains all the actions in the game.  This allows you to reorganize the controls freely.
• New overmap tiles: Mansion.
• New items: Medieval weapons and armor.  Pool balls and cues.  Candlesticks.
• A "lightly flammable" flag which applies to some terrain types, such as floor.  This terrain will burn, but much more slowly than fully-flammable terrain.

Tweaks:

• Many tweaks to item values.  Several values/prices have been modified (ammo is half-price, but guns are twice the price); most drugs now have much fewer charges per bottle.
• Player-built walls are much more useful.  Rather than simply getting destroyed the first time a zombie gets slightly lucky, they get chipped (no change), then battered (enough holes to see/shoot through), then destroyed.  Each of these steps is more difficult than the original smashing was.
• Lots of typo fixes.
• Several small tweaks to artifact generation.
• Sounds that interrupt an action (such as long-waiting) will tell you what you heard at the "Stop ___ing?" prompt.
• Monsters may be afraid of or angered by loud noises.
• More liquor in bars.  Bars may have pool cues/balls.
• A robot that targets you ("beep-beep-beep!") will stay targeted more than twice as long.
• Rat Kings are much more effective.
• Improved detection of the cause of a hallucination's "death."
• Monsters that become scared/angry if the player gets close now do so at a range of 5 tiles, not 3.
• Monsters who are angered/scared if they are hurt respond much more readily to damage.
• Several tweaks to monsters: Rat King has more HP.  Ant larvae are scared of the player.  Krecks are nerfed, and use hit-and-run tactics.
• In character creation, "<badtrait> costs -3 points" is changed to "<badtrait> earns 3 points."
• Many tweaks to overmap special-location settings: Fewer supply bunkers, much fewer radio towers (which should allow for more hospitals, megastores and mansions), fewer of most specials, actually.
• The player is asked if they would like to stop their current action if they are hurt under any circumstances.  No more dying in a fire while cooking something.
• The amount of radiation you can absorb is limited by the radiation level of your surroundings.
• Players mutate from irradiation more rapidly.  A radiation level of 2000+ causes instant mutation.
• Trap tweaks: Spiked boards are trivial to "disarm" and dissectors cannot be disarmed at all.

Bugfixes:

• Some fixes to the Windows display module.  Hopefully this will help prevent some crashes.
• Monsters that aren't attacking you will not set off Safe Mode.
• Monsters that have been immobilized are still affected by fields (e.g. fire, smoke etc)
• Calculating stabbing damage correctly refers to stabbing skill (not cutting).
• The Anger and Morale of monsters is correctly saved.
• The "Player is Weak" anger/morale trigger works correctly (instead of working overwhelmingly in reverse).
• The player's healhiness stat is correctly saved.
• Required tools for consumption (e.g. a lighter to smoke a cigarette) are properly checked and used.
• Low-capacity firearms cannot have their capacity modded under any circumstances.
• Re-targeting after killing your first target while firing a burst works correctly.

Internal:

• game::cancel_activity_query() allows for printf-like formatting.
• New display function, popup_nowait(), which is like popup() but doesn't wait for the player to hit spacebar.  This is useful for loading bars and the like.
• code_doc/TODO updated.

woohoo update!

[kulik]

Yeeehaaa.

Well deserved donation flying your way m8.

[Moogie]

Excellent update! Thank you!

[ThtblovesDF]

Defence mode, I get some inactive turrets, put them down during the first wave and they turn to shot me in the face... gg

[Tellemurius]

Defense mode sounds fun

[Urist McDonalds]

Is it possible to burn a place? I just killed the character that shows when you first embark, and I grabbed her lighter, I want to burn this place.
How?


EDIT: Nevermind, learned how to, I burned the body and is currently watching it.

Can I just ask how you guys survive after one zombie spots you, I seem to get hoarded by tonnes straight after. The bastards seem to have gps navigation aswell so I just can't lose them.

fleet footed and parkour help. quick does, too. just outrun them. find military surpluses too, they have all sorts of useful stuff which can help you on your way to killing zombies, rather than legging it.

Basically you are running away and throwing explosives behind you, they are stupid and will run into the raging fire.

I just hop in my truck and mow them down

[Tiruin]

Bah, I don't find vehicles in the mods as much as everyone else does.

Best find: A car. At the start. 

Hooray for update!

[kulik]

I had a  crash, i killed  a shoot and killed a wolf standing on a rock.

[teoleo]

in defense mode, at the start screen what is the function of "NEEDS" ( food, water, sleep, mercenaries....)
