0008956: crash on loading save game
After a siege, and cleaning outside of bodys,
I save, load again, and suddenly the game hangs at "Loading world information", then the normal error from windows (this app has stopped working).

The last thing I was doing was:
I removed the middle up/down stairs tile inside the fortress in the main hall, from a 3x3 up/down stairs. (did the same in 5 z floors)

then procced to build a chert floor over the empty space the 5 spaces, and build a statue

I read on some other bug report about some trees nearby, there was no tree/root nearby.


Im using:
Dwarf Fortress 40_24 Starter Pack r4, with Phoebus
no mods, raw modification, whatsoever

load savefile
No tags attached.

half an hour earlier someone else submitted a report that sounds exactly like what you're describing ;)
have a look at 0008955 and see whether you agree

That was me that reported the similar bug, but I was doing no such thing. I was just letting the game run and training a few giant sparrow hatchlings.

I checked report 0008955, downloaded and loaded, it hang in a diferent stage of loading, still I dont know if it may be related.

Im playing an old save 2-3 months early (game time) before the cleanup , this time I will not modify the main 3x3 stairs

In 0008955 the game hangs in the stage right before 'Loading World Information'. It might be that it's hanging in the very beginning of that stage and not showing it.

yep It could be

in order to see if we can stablish a conection:

Also I was:
smothing the bottom of the entrance pit (-14 z-levels), there was weapon and spike traps
my chick farms started to hatch so there where like +50 new chicks

idk what else could provide more info, I could upload the save 2-3 months before the crash

also, I got some msg in the errorlog from your save, I will post it in your report

I think it's the chicks, I was training some newly hatched giant sparrow hatchlings.

It wasn't the chicks, I play the old save, up to the hatch again and there was 90 brand new chicks, but the game loaded OK.

after a month (game time), I will retry replacing the up/down stairs with floor again, to see if that was the problem.
