Summary0003603: Retractable bridge crash
DescriptionFirst bug report, don't know what to do really, but:

When retracting a bride by pulling a lever, while a goblin thief was on the bridge, the game crashed completely. I then reloaded the game, and placed all my dwarfves on the same bridge, pulling the lever anew, and when the bridge retracted the game crashed.

It seems the game crashes whenever a dwarf or goblin falls thru several Z-levels. Also, I had upright wooden menacing spikes placed three z-levels below the bridge; perhaps the game crashed because of them.
Steps To ReproduceRetract a bridge built over open space while dwarves or goblins stand on it. Possibly, menacing wooden spikes must be placed at the bottom of the z-levels they fall through, impaling them.

There's a known bug where weapon traps can cause crashes. Hopefully it was your spike trap and not the bridge crash that caused this.
When 31.18 is released, could you check out your save there and make sure this is fixed?

I'll check if it's still present in the next version. I just saw the update on bay12 that a weapon trap bug is fixed, hopefully it's this one :)
