| Summary | 0013188: Crash upon save (while offloading units) if any squad is on mission. | ||||
| Description | Game keeps crashing while saving (offloading units stage), both manual save and autosave, if squads are on a mission. I have already tried every solution I could find ( disable save compression, delete all autosaves, applied every dfhack fix command, kill all livestock, ensured every dwarf leaves for mission, cancelled melt orders and all construction, etc, deleted every excess item I could, etc), and crash still happens. This is my 2nd for in a row that got this issue. It was perfectly playable for like 15 dwarf years, I could save whenever I wanted, squads were always out on missions without problem. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Send squads on a mission, wait for dwarves to leave screen, save the game. Crashes on offloading units 100% of the time. If u wait for mission to complete and squads to return, u can save the game without crashing. | ||||
| Additional Information | Possibly related: tons of dwarves got imprisoned in two separate enemy fortresses during early missions, no mission can retrieve the prisoners, and dwarves get randomly lost and never return during other missions as well. retrieve-units command doesn't bring them back either. I have embarked on an ocean coastline biome, embark is large (11x4 I think), and I'm getting the "no visitors if embark has ocean tiles" bug as well. I got messages about visiting human spearmen during 1st year, but don't recall seeing them after that, and 0 visitors since. Caravans and enemy armies reach me without issues. Since this is also a known bug related to travelling units, it could be related, idk. | ||||

I see other millitary related bugs can be solved by disbanding all squads. I disbanded all squads, fired all military commanders, rehired others, created one new squad (from old squad members), sent it out on same mission that caused the crashes before, and managed to save without crashing once. |
