Crash when deleting bedrooms?

[Pug Jesus]

I'm having a crash that seems to happen consistently when I delete a bedroom designation.

I was planning a massive renovation with my Tavern and when I unpaused DF it crashed. I tripled checked and yeah I'm having the same problem you are, have you found a work around? this is so bizarre

My Dwarf Pop is 56 and I'm running this on Linux through Proton, FPS is currently sitting around 95

I think I'm having the same issue - planned a lot of stuff including a couple of deleted bedroom zones, unpaused, a few moments later it crashed. Reloaded the save, tried again, it crashed again. Also Linux through Proton.

I ran into this once when trying to move my expedition leader's bedroom. I found that if I deleted it while assigned, I crashed. If I removed the assignment and gave him a different one, then deleted the bedroom, no issue. Your mileage may vary, of course.

I was just working with tavern bedroomsand also crashed shortly after unpausing, I don't remember if that is exactly what triggered it. I am also using Linux with Proton.

There is a bug with Zones and deleting them if they've been assigned to a Dorf. I think the crash is caused by said Dorf having a job or action that interacts with that Zone and when it gets deleted before that is finished, it throws an error that isn't controlled for.

For example, I've deleted a Zone assigned to a Dorf with no issues. Then, I've deleted a Zone assigned to a Dorf while that Dorf was moving to that Zone and... <crash>. Why? The Dorf was trying to go to zone_xx_ and zone_xx_ doesn't exist, so... <crash>

That's my interpretation, anyway. :)

AFAIK, this is a "known" catastrophic bug and should eventually be cleaned up or some black-hole of an error bin will catch it and prevent the game from crashing... one hopes.

PS: I think that before one deletes the Zone, if it's re-assigned to "none/NA/whatever" or even a new Dorf that has no reason to interact with it at the time of deletion should work to prevent a crash.
