I am afraid we will need much more information than this. Does it actually crash or does it just lock up? What is the specific crash message? Is there anything in the error log? Does it still crash if you disable truetype?

I still want information on what's in your errorlog, and I want to know what additional information that 'box' has - there's usually some button you can press that provides additional information.

Does it still crash if you disable truetype?

You have to upload the region folder containing the save that's crashing.

Your save is one of the "regionX" folders inside data/save. Create a zip file containing the appropriate region folder. That zip file is the file that you should upload.

You can disable Truetype by editing data/init/init.txt.

i think i fixed it!
i think the problem was that my FPS was getting into the like 500's and it caused the game to run to fast and shut dwon, so i turned my limit to 100 and it is working!
thanks for the help guys!

actually D: turns out it still crashes, i think it must be a certain time in the game and when i had 500 FPS it was happening faster ): so im still stuck

Since save compatibility has been broken since this report, it's hard to tell whether this crash has since been fixed. If anyone has a save that crashes under similar conditions in the latest version, please upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ and PM a manager on the forums (or reopen the report).
