Summary0006681: Autosave causes save corruption and crashes on load

Various forms of crashes are appearing in reports for loading fortress mode saves, so I'm acknowledging this and placing the others as children for now.

I am having the same issue. I created a fort and saved after some playtime. The game continuously crashed when loading the fort. I scrubbed the save and created a second fort then saved just after embark. The second save will also not load. This is a serious show-stopper bug.

The crash occurs when the loading screen has the "Loading world information" message on the loading bar.

Windows 7 spits out this error report on crash:

I believe c0000005 code is an access violation?

And the save for the second fort, just after embark:

I imagine you have enough to work on now, but since I already uploaded a save to DFFD with the exact same problem (crashes on "loading world information," exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00455c47), I might as well link it here. I hope it helps. http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8767 [^]

Here's another save that crashes. This one doesn't crash immediately - takes a few seconds after unpause.

Edit:

Running DF through a debugger, it keeps faulting on a divide by 0 in the same place.

(2594.8d4): Integer divide-by-zero - code c0000094 (!!! second chance !!!)

Dwarf_Fortress+0x8de0cb:

Changing register ecx to 1 instead of 0 allows the game to continue normally, but it gets reset to 0 a few seconds later, causing the same issue.

I've got a similar crash, the game crashes consistently right after the miners return from their drinking break (replicated it 5 times)

I've identified identical issues in three of the saves that would lead to trouble. The problem is getting the root cause to reproduce. Just starting a fort, retiring, and then starting a new game are not sufficient -- the potential problem data is fine. I wonder if the first fort has to be played for long enough for some trigger to corrupt the relevant data. I'm going to continue poking around.

i seem to be having the exact same issue, except it happens after an adventurer dies or is retired. the next time i start adventure mode it will crash on me.

For reproducibility, it seems to me that the thing that causes crashing during save loading is when I manually save the game -- seasonal saves have been mostly fine for me. Moreover if I load a save and then immediately save again, I get a save that can no longer load probably 80% of the time. Here's a save that can be caused to bug out, but loads correctly: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8829 [^]

Yeah, that save has the same issue already. I'm not sure why the seasonal saves are any more stable, but all of the interactions are corrupted there. I'm not sure what's causing that to happen yet, of course.

(edited on: 2014-07-10 03:05)
After some testing I think I may have tracked the cause down to something to do with INITIAL_SAVE being set to YES on a new fort. Setting this to NO allows my to play past the first few minutes and saving without my world becoming corrupted. I suspect something similar happens with seasonal and yearly saves being active, which would explain why this has been happening to my forts so early on and a bit later for other people.

Somehow, autosaves appear to be corrupting data causing normal saves and potentially future autosaves to become corrupted. In the short term this could be handled simply by disabling autosaves, although I haven't done any further testing to ensure that this completely solves the problem.

Additionally, for me at least, in both of my worlds where I have this error it always crashes on "Loading tracking information".

+1 to what Lemunde said. I haven't enabled INITIAL_SAVE, but manual saves being dead when made after an autosave has taken place during the same play session is completely consistent with all of my bad saves so far, I think. I'm guessing that the interactions save function is destructive (or something else alters them), such that any subsequent save without exiting the game will be corrupt.
(0025546)
Toady One   
2014-07-10 09:23   
Yeah, all auto-saves appear to be wiping the random object data, and the game isn't happy to continue playing and saving after that. Hopefully I'll be able to post a fix release today (have to code it first, and there's one non-trivial issue in doing that).
