looks like I'll have to skip, the game just won't save for me

I waited ten minutes, downloaded the save again, re downloaded DF, nothing worked.

What do you mean it doesn't work? like, it doesn't show up in the "start playing" list after you extract it to your saves folder? You should never need to reinstall DF to get a save to show up in the list.

Except if you're using a version of DF older than the save, I think. Confirm that you're using 34.11, not 34.10 or below, and that the contents of the compressed archive were extracted to [your DF directory]/data/save?

I go on 'save game', press it and the game locks up.

I can load the map fine, I have DF 34.11, and I did save it to that folder.

Oh. Your system just decided it hates saving massive files, then? It took a long-ass time for me, too, but I was having serious issues with my computer at the time and that's what I blamed it on. It took minutes to do literally anything, and saving a game in DF was no different. Maybe the save really is getting bloated enough that it's becoming an arse to save, though...

I guess we have to see if the next guy has issues saving it, then?

[Vattic]

Just got messaged telling me it was my turn. Though I posted in the thread near the start I didn't mean to volunteer so whoever is next can go.

[Eric Blank]

The curse strikes again!

[clockout1]

Unfortunately, I've got way too much stuff going on at the moment to do this. Still watching the thread, but I'm gonna have to skip my turn.

[Eric Blank]

Huh. Okay then...

Pm'd the next guy too...

Who skipped via PM.

Next!

Have you received a reply from Masta Crouton or Ghills yet?

[Eric Blank]

None form crouton. didn't message ghillsm, so I will now.

I'm downloading the latest save to try it out in adventurer.  I don't have much experience with adventurer, so I expect to die a lot.

[Ghills]

Oops, life went a little nutty and I just checked the forums for the first time in weeks.  Do you guys still want me to take my turn, or does someone else have the save now?

[Eric Blank]

Nothing else has happened. At all. Go ahead

[Ghills]

OK.  I'm downloading now and we'll see how this goes.

I haven't actually had time to play DF much since 34.08, so goodness knows how this will turn out.

Bumping for a question - did vampires get turned off in world generation for this world? Or do I need some vampire-containment traps in the fort?
