Description:
After upgrading to 0.40.05-1 today, I couldn't start dwarffortress, as it complained about an invalid/corrupt index file in data/. I fixed that by copying my saves to a safe location and then removing the whole ~/.dwarffortress directory. I could now successfully start dwarffortress. After quitting dwarffortress, I restored the saves. I think this procedure should be shown to the user upon upgrading from an old dwarffortress package version to a newer one, as it will not work without puring ~/.dwarffortress. Steps to reproduce: 1. install dwarffortress 2. start and quit dwarffortress 3. wait for a package upgrade 4. Install the package upgrade 5. Try to play dwarffortress 6. Get an error message. |
