Summary0006617: Immediate crash after loading and unpausing dwarf mode save
DescriptionThe game crashes every time without fail after loading this save:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/16513s0w75w4nnd/region1_save_loading_crash.7z [^]
Steps To ReproduceLoad the save, unpause and it should crash within a second.
Additional InformationI tried cancelling all dwarves' jobs before unpausing but that did nothing. I tried some different init settings (print modes, graphics and truetype on/off, setting back to default) and they did nothing either.
TagsNo tags attached.

Hi elcr111, was this saved little after trading with the first caravan? Seems like the same thing that's happening to me here:

No. Not enough time had passed for the first caravan to arrive.

Also encountered thi bug myself, may have had something to do with running DF from a flash drive, or with the new Starter Pack

used smaller world/shorter history, as well as not using the Starter Pack. Obne of these things fixed the issue.

Oh, I ought to have mentioned the worldgen. It was a 300 year medium region, I think. I'm sure I set it to 300 years but it stopped at 200 after going quite slowly (less than a year a second). The only settings I changed were cavern layer openness max and cavern layer passage density max, which were set to 0. Those settings make the caverns very wide and spaced out with no single-tile passages, and they worked fine in DF2010 and DF2012. Could they have had an effect?

I got this bug, too -- late autumn, mostly-default worldgen settings, just a small world and short history, no Starter Pack. (I don't even know what the Starter Pack is!)

Loading a save with caravan in fortress caused a crash, but loading a pre-caravan autobackup did not.

In addition, my brother mentioned he also encountered this bug. Clearly, it is wide-ranging and needs to be fixed ASAP.

Please upload saves to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] -- mediafire won't leave the files up for long.

My mediafire account still has files from five years ago, but okay:

I appear to be experiencing the same symptoms: I was able to generate a world, embark, start building a fort, save, and load the game all with no problem. But as soon as I unpause, it crashes (core dump). Linux.

Here is my save: http://wooledge.org/~greg/df/crash-v040.tar.bz2 [^] (or http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8760 [^] -- same file, DFFD finally started working)

Here is a gdb backtrace of the core dump:
