| Summary | 0009123: running with sudo causes segfault on save |
|---|
| Description | If dwarf fortress is run in sudo "sudo ./df" the game will crash upon saving. The crash reports suggest either corruption or double free errors. The likelihood of crashing is proportional to the time between saves, so saving often prevents them. However, without sudo the game will run smoothly, tested by leaving it running for 2 consecutive seasons and saving often. I suspect that having restricted permissions stops df from writing to places it oughn't. |
|---|
| Steps To Reproduce | Start up DF in sudo. Run for approximately an in-game month. Save |
|---|
| Additional Information | Incredibly frustrating if you don't know the trick. Harmless if you do. Therefore filing the report is as much a workaround as a development heads-up. Mods in use: Lazy Newb Pack, DFhack and Tileset Phoebus. |
