Notes
(0021543) Kogut (reporter) 2012-03-17 23:32 edited on: 2012-03-18 03:15	Small description tweak: you need to use one of modes (fort/adventure/legends) to freeze DF.

(0021550) Logical2u (manager) 2012-03-18 06:35	If you're messing around with game files while the game is running - especially deleting something DF then tries to load - this is not surprising in the slightest.
