Summary

0005795: In version 34.05 and 34.06 I have started a fort, saved, and then DF crashes when I try to load the save.

Description

I haven't played DF for a while. I waited for the major recent release. I made a (Dwarf Fortress) game in 34.03 or 04 which worked, then I made a game in 34.05. I started a game, played for a few hours, saved, and left. When I tried to reload the game, I got a message that, "DF has stopped working."

I then started a game in 34.06, played for a while, saved and reloaded the game a few times, and then the save bugged again.

I use the Phoebus Graphic Set (I download the combined set to get the game), I did not change any init.text or anything like that.

I looked for problems that might be similar, and its possible its a safe compression problem, but I do not receive that kind of error message.

I did recently install some antivirus software, but I added DF to the exception lists.

Steps To Reproduce

I started a new 34.06, embarked, saved, loaded, quit the game and restarted, loaded, and it worked fine. So the save does not immediately corrupt.

Additional Information

Thank you for anyone's help :)

Using COMPRESSED_SAVES causes save corruption on some systems

Notes
(0022184) Quietust (reporter) 2012-04-09 19:56	Does the same crash occur when you load it into version 0.34.07 (i.e. the current version)?

(0022204) Naragonth (reporter) 2012-04-10 16:12	Yes it does.

(0022220) Footkerchief (manager) 2012-04-11 11:52	Have you tried disabling COMPRESSED_SAVES in init.txt?

(0022230) Naragonth (reporter) 2012-04-11 12:21	I'll try that. I assume that if that is the problem my current save is UN-salvageable? I'll try playing with uncompressed saves and if I get the same problem I'll re-post here.

(0022238) Footkerchief (manager) 2012-04-12 06:25	Alright. If that happens, please reopen this report.
