| Summary | 0013355: Deterministic crash when human caravan from Mong Ithbi arrives (save included) | ||||
| Description | Dwarf Fortress 53.05 consistently crashes on the exact tick when a human caravan from Mong Ithbi arrives. Crash happens in: - clean vanilla DF 53.05 (DFHack disabled) - DFHack 53.05-r1 - regardless of fortress activity - regardless of suppressing caravans (hermit mode) The last message before the crash is always: "A human caravan from Mong Ithbi has arrived." No caravan units appear in the ‘u’ list before the crash. Crash happens instantly on caravan spawn tick. errorlog.txt contains no errors. This suggests a corrupted caravan mission, entity, historical figure or nemesis related to the Mong Ithbi civilization. The crash is 100% reproducible. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Download and unzip the attached save (region7.zip). 2. Launch vanilla Dwarf Fortress 53.05 (Steam). 3. Load the fortress. 4. Unpause. 5. Within several seconds, the message appears: "A human caravan from Mong Ithbi has arrived." 6. The game immediately crashes to desktop. Crash is 100% reproducible. | ||||
| Additional Information | - No caravan units exist before the crash. - Crash occurs before caravan population is generated. - errorlog.txt only contains "Steam API init failed". - No mods used; clean Steam installation. - DFHack tests (fix/*, hermit, retrieve-units, etc.) produce no changes. - The save appears structurally intact (no zero-size files). - Likely cause: corrupted caravan entity, nemesis, or histfig. Save included below. | ||||
