Dwarf fortress 2 not working,any help?
« on: June 24, 2016, 03:19:49 pm »

So i downloaded Dw2 and got all the stuff on my computer but when i try to launch by using Dwarf fortress.exe it gives me an error messega that reads ''(The location of the exe and rest of the stuff) Dwarf fortress.exe is not a compatible/suitable Win32(presumably windows) application.'' heres it more clearly ''Dwarf fortress.exe is not a compatible win32 application''
I have no idea how to solve this,i also tried the legacy version but it was the same thing.Any help?

What's "Dwarf Fortress 2", and where did you download it from?

Unless it came from this site, it's not an official version. There are a fair amount of good starter packages around, generally there'll be a thread in the mods forum where you can get specific help.

You're probably on XP and need an exe from here http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=158868.msg7056349#msg7056349

Well it gave me a new error message.Someone said that this is a problem with just with the latest update so im going to try the older version and i am on XP.
EDIT:i think it works now (the new version) atleast it started.

Yes, 43.04 is giving some error messages (due to a snafu with the compiler), but 43.03 is stable enough.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur
