Summary0003213: Crash when writing to non-existant location
DescriptionI have my DF stuff all on my flash drive to make it easier to switch between computers. I was playing DF on my laptop, pulled out the flash drive, and tried to save the game. The game promptly crashed. Obviously this should not happen (and I realised too late the flash drive wasn't plugged in), and I lost a fair few hours of gameplay. A simple check to see if the location of the files/game is where it should be instead of crashing?
Steps To ReproduceLoad all DF onto flash drive.
Play game from flash drive.
Remove flash drive.
Try to save the game.
Additional InformationI know I shouldn't have removed the flash drive, but it really is a simply fix, as opposed to leaving it unfixed and having a glaring bug in it. Hope you fix it soon :)

This would be difficult for the game to handle.
