0006439: The game seems to crash on a fixed rate.

(0024539) CaptainHowdy (reporter) 2014-02-19 16:53	Yeah I just realized I forgot, sorry! Uploading now.

I'm noticing several "Melt a Metal Object/R" jobs, which means this might be 0006431. I'll try testing again and disabling all melt jobs, although it'll take a while with the framerate I'm getting. Also, I didn't see any announcements about merchants, so I don't think that's related (I did get a farewell message from the human diplomat). Edit: Unmarking everything for melting seems to have done the trick - the game is about a month past where it crashed last time, the merchants have started to leave, and there have been many announcements that didn't show up last time. As far as I can tell, this is a duplicate of 0006431. For the record, these are the steps I took to undesignate everything for melting (requires DFHack): * Access the stocks screen (z - right3 - enter) and enter [e]nhanced view (this is a separate plugin, but I think it's included in MDF. If not, try d-b-M over the whole map) Press [Tab] to expand the list * Press [Shift-A] [Shift-M] [Shift-M] to select everything, designate for melting, and undesignate * Press Ctrl-M to make sure nothing is designated for melting (the number on the left should stay the same) If you want to track down the problem: There are 22 melt-designated items when loading the save. Chances are at least one of them is inaccessible, owned, leaves the map (with the diplomat?), etc., and trying to melt it causes the crash. If there isn't an obviously problematic item, you can try undesignating everything and redesignating items individually until you get the crash.
