May be relevant, but world progress didn't save, however my inventory state did save (So I have in effect lost some scrolls etc).

The crash folder isn't ours -- did unhanded exceptions txt write in the runtimedata folder? Or, in avww_data on windows there would be output.log that we could use, but that one gets overwritten every time you start he game program, so it might be gone now.

What OS are you using? This is probably based on the sound effect playback changes that I made in the last version, but we'll have to see.

Thanks for the report!

Also - although the region didn't save, the Lt's health did (?!?!?!) - muchos wierdness!

Attaching the output.log )Mine has username appended due to one already being uploaded here), though there's nothing new in UnhandledExceptions :s

OS is Windows 7 Professional x64.

"although the region didn't save, the Lt's health did (?!?!?!)"

That's not unsurprising at all. Lieutenants and other NPCs, like your own character, are not saved in the local region, but rather are saved into the world file itself so that they can be referred to at any time.

Regarding the other logs and such, there's not a lot to go on, although it does seem like this may be the issue that Techsy was seeing in 0.530 on Linux. What was the last version prior to 0.531 that you played a substantial amount on? 0.530, or 0.529 or before?

Also: how long of playing did it take for you to get this error, would you say? Are you able to duplicate it? If you can duplicate it, can you try disabling sound effects and see if that fixes it?

The above a lot to ask, so just any info you can provide is welcome, but no pressure. These are always tricky to tackle -- thanks for your help!

In 0.532, which is now out:

* Reduced the number of sounds that can be played each frame down from 4 back to 2 (prior to 0.531 the number was 1). Hopefully this will solve the crashing problem experienced by a couple of players.

Played all beta versions heavily (8+ hours), but this was about 4 hours into the play session on 5.031 today.

Will try 5.032 out this eve - would have been done earlier, but had a midwife appointment! :p

Thanks for the added info -- and no worries at all on the timing! Good luck at the midwife. :) We used a midwife for our son, too, and it was really a good experience.
