Summary0013294: Not found: data/art/curses_640x300.png
DescriptionYesterday I bought a new laptop with Windows 11, and the first game I downloaded for it was Dwarf Fortress. Do I need to download any libraries for the game to work? I tried replacing png with bmp in the init file, but it didn't help. I found reports about a similar problem here, but they were on Linux, not Windows, so the solutions there don't work.
Steps To ReproduceLaunch the game

Presumably you downloaded the Windows Classic version from the bay12 website - did you extract the ZIP file to a directory first, or did you just double-click "Dwarf Fortress.exe" from inside the archive?
