I'm getting the same thing on the osx version, but creating a five year pocket went fine, it was just for a normal world that i got:

Reminder sent to: tasteful

I moved your dump to pastebin so it wouldn't make this report impossible to scroll through.

However, what's more useful than a dump is world gen seeds that reproduce the crash. You can find the seeds in gamelog.txt in the main DF folder.

Also, are you using TrueType? What PRINT_MODE are you using in init.txt?

Had the game crashing with this error with any parameters.

Turned out that I extracted the new version into directory of an older install, extracting into a new directory fixed this

I've seen this crash twice so far, on Debian AMD64 stable. My 0.34.1 install's in a new directory, not on top of an old one.

I had a world fail with:
the terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
what(): vector::_M_fill_insert

using the following seed:


*** STARTING NEW GAME ***

 History Seed: OWSqEkKuKSi6ys6AEUwm

My next world didn't crash, but I aborted it in mid-generation and used it without the full history being generated. Seeds for that one were:


*** STARTING NEW GAME ***

 Seed: 0kkSUIsQ8eFS4nYTsXy8

 Creature Seed: kBDWXt3gzypiyAebvEHv


On a separate computer I have world gens complete successfully, however, they don't write out to disk. However, that may be a fault with my own file system permissions, still researching that one.

Both computers are running Ubuntu Linux 11.10 32bit. Both are running DF 34.01.

Sometimes the worldgen completes successfully, but the world itself doesn't get saved. A temporary workaround is to abort the worldgen before the history completes, and then accept it as it is. Actually, I think that is the ONLY way I've gotten a world to save. This leads me to believe the crash is happening at the end of worldgen as it saves the world.

Perhaps the bug could be determined by comparing how the game saves the world at the end of worldgen and how it saves when aborting worldgen and accepting the world as it stands from that point?

I always abort in the current version as it's too slow, and I'm still 4/4 crashes on saving. So while that may be a factor, it's not the only cause.
Win7 here.

I'll try with your keys now.
Edit: your key on a medium world saved without crashing.

edit2: Just noticed the date on this. Let's find a better bug for it

Last edit: this is the new .03

EDIT: I was able to fix this issue by removing all my previously saved games / generated worlds. I will leave the rest of my report up, but I have resolved this issue for me.

I am still having this happen in 0.34.05, regardless of input parameters as well. Happens on every world gen.

I had this issue at first too. Did you put the new version into last year's version's folder? I did, and it caused the crash issues.

I put it in a new folder all it's own and it fixed the issues altogether.

Confirming another person with this crash issue. Oddly, my game was fine at first but seems to have developed this bug over time. Same whether using basic create new world or custom parameters.

Cannot use the workaround as above (ie, aborting world gen before history completes).

Dear Mazonas

I have the following suggestion:
(Download if necessary and) Unpack Dwarf Fortress again and overwrite your active version with the freshly unpacked (except for the data/init directory, unless you want extra work :) :) ). Your save files and so on should be fine.
I had a serious problem with save file corruption after trying to start new adventure mode after retiring an adventurer, and after that, I also had consistent world gen crashes in 34.05 until I overwrote the files with freshly unpacked ones.

This is always a bad idea.

Shouldn't overwriting the files of 34.05 with the files of 34.05 (that is, files of the same version) be safe? I honestly want to know, because in my eyes, it seems a good method of quickly repairing apparently broken binaries/raws.

[34.08] Removing previous saves fixes it. Perhaps something to do with the code that tries to determine the region number based on the current contents of the save directory?
