Help! My Lazy Newb Pack cant start dwarf fortress
« on: June 24, 2011, 03:35:45 pm »
Hi all!

When I press the  "Play Dwarf Fortress!"- button I get an "directory name is invalid"-error. Its as there is something wrong with the newb pack shortcut.

I want to use this pack, because you can turn off aquifers. For some reason all evil biomes are paired with aquifers when I try to find at fun spot to embark.

I hope you can help me.

You don't need to run the game via the Lazy New Pack. you can just run the .exe and the changes will still work.
