Hi all, just got the latest Starter pack and have noticed an odd problem.

I have it set to check for updates every launch and when it launches, it says there is an update to 0.44.12 -r08 which obviously is an old version.
Has anyone else got this problem, or is it an issue my end?

Other than that i am having no issues at all.

What's the version number of the pack you downloaded, and what link did you get it from? My guess would be that it's checking the wrong place for updates, but I'm not sure how that could happen.

Thanks for your reply.
I am using the latest one from here: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=7622

The version i am on is: 0.47.05-r01

I did notice however that Dwarf Mockup was being flagged in the last version as a false positive but this version does not flag my AV so that is something.

Okay, that worked.  I think maybe I'll handle this by creating a trash fort that I have no real interest in playing when starting a new world, and just retiring it on embark.

I don't think your approach would work, unfortunately, but you could try. My interpretation of clinodev's comment is that the transition from the world view to the fortress view is what causes TWBT to crash sometimes. TWBT only deals with tile display - it doesn't care about world history, e.g. how many times you have embarked in a world.

It seems to be working.  I created a trash fort with TWBT off and retired it.  Then I turned TWBT back on and embarked a fresh fort with no problems.

hey guys,

I'm starting DF again, back with spacefox, but I'm missing some art. for example the up/down stairs are just an x, other items are simple letters. It's the same when I switch to phoenix. I think it's something to do with TWBT. I seem to recall having to fix some files to solve this, but that was a few years ago, so I can't remember (lost a lot of files a while back, including my DF stuff). while looking up this problem I found some instructions from this topic from 2018, but after applying those, my DF wouldn't start.

So, does this sound familiar to others? what are the current steps to fix this? Or, in the simplest form: how do I turn my up/down x into an actual up/down sprite?

I think Ulfarr is referencing this post which for me is on page 222 and was posted 2020-11-30, 15:09:15.

Woah, yup that fixed it! @Ziusundra thanks for the link. @Ulfarr thanks as well.

Oh shit, I didn't know that the page count wasn't universal. I though it would have been a decent "treasure hunt" clue without being too much of a hussle. I'm sorry.

I have the same issue, and I used the 'Direct Download' option to get v47.05-r01's contents in the form of a .zip file.

Thanks for the update by the way, PeridexisErrant! I've been eagerly awaiting it. ❦

Ah, my bad, I know what happened here - my compilation scripts noticed that DFHack was in beta and pointed the update config link at the wrong URL.  I've fixed the script and my update checklist so that this shouldn't happen in future, but I don't think it's worth uploading a new version just for this

Can someone help me? Can´t open default Dwarf Fortress either.

The error message says you haven't got write permission to a standard file, so one guess is that you're trying to run it from within the zip file without unpacking it. Another is that you've unpacked it to somewhere the OS doesn't allow you to write (like C:).

I extracted it to the desktop, I play dwarf fortress just fine on my laptop and I have it on the desktop too there.
