DF self terminated
« on: March 08, 2013, 09:13:15 pm »

I think it may have been caused by FPS death, whoever I always thought that just caused the game to run incredibly slow, not terminate. The game slowed down to about 20 FPS before it shut off, right in my face.

Why?

Also solutions to FPS death?

I was watching. I hadn't touched anything in the last minute or so. The FPS just suddenly dropped to bellow 20, and it shut off.

Out of memory? DF is a 32-bit process and will terminate if it goes over 2GB.

This is probably your cause. Note that using the Large Address aware version that is floating around somewhere can fix this by expanding the limit to 4GB (note only windows needs this, Mac and Linux will use more memory by default).
