I hate being a downer, but this version won't run at all on my box. The executable starts, but never proceeds to open the GUI. I can't even get Windows to kill the process! Hopefully it's just a compilation error or something.

It might be an issue with your save file, can you upload it so I can take a look?

I don't think so. The program wouldn't start regardless of whether DF was running or not. I rebooted the system, updated everything that was available (drivers, programs, windows). Usually DFT will start and say "I can't find DF running" or "I don't recognize this version of DF" but in this case...nada. It does produce three program threads in Task Manager, but not a thing more. I'll have a couple of other Windows systems I can test on tomorrow, but so far it looks like either a general failure or some kind of serious system incompatibility (which I have never seen before, and I've been running DFT for years). It really sucks, because I hate playing without DFT, even just to bug test. Will post more data tomorrow.

What version of windows and Dwarf Fortress are you running?

Win7x64, and 42_05. Just for testing purposes, I downloaded the next-oldest version of DFT I could find here (32) and tested running it. As usual, it opened right up and stated that it couldn't talk to my running DF - as expected. Then, just for the heck of it, I tried running DFT-36 again, and it opened right up! I'm not certain what happened, but other than installing the 32 version and running it, I hadn't changed anything on the system. SO, it's working now, for whatever reason. I'll let you know if I run into any more issues. Thanks!

When I try to run the program It say that "Windows cannot access the specific device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions." I am on windows 8.1 comment last edited by cavemanmac on Aug 16, 2016, 02:47:33 am
