| Summary | 0013328: Game crashes a few minutes after a Giant, Ettin, or Titan shows up. | ||||
| Description | This specific Issue started happening on November 3rd 2025. A giant, Ettin, or Titan will show up on the 11th of Malachite 190 and a few seconds to a few minutes later the game will crash. I have had crashes in the past, which has pushed me to manually save more often, but this is the first time I’ve had a crash that doesn’t go away after one or a few reloads. Vanilla Steam version. World created after the dye update and before the Siege update. Save file link: https://dffd.bay12games.com/download.php?id=17623&f=crash+avoidence+7.zip | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | load save. Unpause time. Allow time to advance. Save file link: https://dffd.bay12games.com/download.php?id=17623&f=crash+avoidence+7.zip | ||||

Terminology correction: Data pasted in the Additional Information section came from errorlog.txt not a crashlog. I have been informed that the game does not yet create crash logs on Linux. I have also been told it may be possible to backtrace the crash using something called a debugger. If anyone can point me me to a walk through for doing this I would appreciate it so I can add the backtraced crash information to this case. |

Turns out my save was corrupted. One of the calling cards of this particular corruption turned out to be a decrease in the number of files in the folders for game saves. I had a few saves from before the corruption event happened. I lost a few in-game years of progress but at least I didn't have to completely start over. Thank you to the people in the Kitfox and DFHack discord who diagnosed the problem and helped me understand my situation. |
