Summary0002047: Game crashes around season change
DescriptionThis bug has been stopping me from playing for a few days : I play a little, then in about 10 minutes it has crashed.
I wondered if it had something to do with what I did during these 10 minutes, and so decided not to do anything more but wait : it crashed.
Steps To ReproduceLoad my save.
Wait.
Just wait.
Additional InformationLink to save : http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2399
I'll try to summarize what is happening in my fortress by the beggining of the save :
 - most are hauling hematite ore that is being mined out in the upper levels of the moutain.
 - some are trying to brew booze despite lack of barrels to hold booze.
 - hematite ore is being smelt into bars
 - complete sets of iron armors are being made
 - some wooden training weapons are being made, but they are finished way before the crash, so I don't think it's related
 - My military squad tries to train without much success, while one member stays guarding the entrance.
 - Lavish meals might be being cooked. I don't know. Perhaps they stopped.
 - My underground farm is set to some plants I don't have the seeds for.

I might have forgotten something, but most of what happens is accessible through the job manager.
A mayor has been elected recently, and I heard mayor + season change = crash sometimes.
Also, in any case, I used dwarf therapist when using the 0.31.3 version, but not when the bug happened.
The bug also reproduces in 0.31.4

With your metalworking/smelting going on, are you melting anything?

Does the crash persist if you completely disband your military?

I am not melting any object. Just smelting bars of iron and coke, which I have already done successfully over the past year.
I'll try disbanding the squad.

News everyone :
Tried under windows XP on the same computer, no crash.
But a human caravan came in late summer, it COULD be related to this.
Trying later on 7 for the military.

I tried disbanding the squad. 12th of Galena, a human caravan appeared, no crash.
I wait for Autumn to come.

New entry : autumn has come, no crash if I disband the squad.
I note I had horrible lag during all summer. My computer sounded like it was about to take off. Then, the caravan unloaded its goods, and all was quiet.

Also, on an unrelated note, one of the merchants had trouble pathfinding. I could see him going back a few tiles at times.

Loaded this in 31.12.

Removed the appointed arsenal dwarf. Only appears to be one mayor. Militia Commander is appointed but is not in a squad. There is a militia captain leading a squad. No other military. I did not disband the squad.

No errorlog.txt entries.

With all the fixes for the arsenal dwarf and military & equipment, and possibly the mayor, I believe this crash may have become obsolete.

I let it run past the human caravan and to the successful change to Autumn.

Dae, or any other reporter, are you able to get this crash to reproduce using an updated version 31.12 and above?

Reminder sent to: Dae

Do you feel disbanding your military adequately resolved this issue?

Have you had this crash in updated versions 31.12 and above?

Since I couldn't get this to reproduce and Dae hasn't followed-up, I'm closing this for now. Most likely has been fixed in previous versions.
