We need more details. The two big questions are 1: are you sure you are using a clean install of 34.04, and are you trying to export your map before accepting it?

Otherwise what is the memory usage of DF as it crashes, and what are the details of the crash?

2.no
how do i find out memory usage?

Also im not sure if this will help but its the only useful thing i could find while trying to find more info.

It will list memory usage in the task manager, which, depending on what OS you are specifically using, is either Alt-Ctrl-Del or Ctrl-Shift-Escape

Also, are you using the SDL or Legacy version? Try switching to the other.

I downloaded legacy and it seems to work fine at the moment, thanks for the help.

Ok, I suspect this is a memory thing based on the error message, but I'm going to resolve this for now. If the same error starts popping up again, please reopen this report.

Also edited the report title so it's easier to identify in relationships.
