| Summary | 0013336: Save file corruption - Crashing | ||||
| Description | Saves appear to become corrupt on V53.02. After loading a save, the game will crash shortly thereafter. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Save game 2. Load game | ||||
| Additional Information | I was using DFHack, but disabled it and the issue can still be reproduced by making a save and loading it. It didn't start until most of the way through the first year. I haven't had other forts on this version of the game yet. Using Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (Scout) | ||||

I can attach save files, I'm just trying to figure out the appropriate way to do that on this platform. For the time being, https://gofile.io/d/jJ7cKz Contains a save file, system info, and "logs" from the Dwarf Fortress folder. Also, this occurred with Save Compression on or off. Deleting everything in the save folder except world.sav allows the game to load and work without crashing until the next save is done. |
|
|
Appears to be fixed on 53.03. Played for several hours, about half a year in-game. |
|
|
Remark: you should NEVER delete the auxiliary ".dat" files from a save folder, since while the game can regenerate some of them, others will simply fail and cause the game to behave incorrectly. |
