0003914: Repeatable crash on embark, completely unable to play.
After selecting a site, and with both Play Now and Plan Carefully, attempting to embark will cause the game to stop responding (and for the duration, cause all other programs to stop responding), and after a minute or two, will just shut down - no error windows, nothing. Upon reloading the game, you will need to reselect your location, your dwarves' skill sets, etc. Also, attempting to save directly before you embark only works some of the time to save your progress.
Embarking, period.
I have the Lazy Newb pack installed, and I tried launching from both the GUI and the Dwarf Fortress .exe.
64-bit OS, crash, embark

Have you tested this with more than one world, or only one?

Reminder sent to: JellyFish72

Have you been able to reproduce this in vanilla (not installing the Lazy Newb pack)? Chances are it is related to the raws or other settings that pack changes (at that time). Without a save, there's not much we can do with this report.

Please check with the component makers of the Lazy Newb Pack for updates. If you can reproduce this, please reopen this report and post more information.
