- If the game is crashing or refusing to open, include any error message that appears, along with your computer specifications and operating system.

Major bugs with workarounds[edit]
This is a list of major bugs with workarounds that would be useful for most players to know. Bugs added to this list should: 1) impact most players in a significant way in the current version, and 2) have some workaround that is useful to share. Please link the source of any posted workarounds.
- Bug 0012008: Dwarves will not equip ammunition. When a squad is created, it takes note of the amount of ammunition in the fortress but never updates this figure.
- Workaround: Set up a uniform which includes a ranged weapon. Form a new squad using this uniform, which updates the squad's knowledge of how much ammunition is available. Assign the desired dwarves to that squad. Set them to train with a schedule of your choice. The dwarves should equip ammunition. (Note: Hunter dwarves "reserve" roughly 100 to 200 bolts each. Your ammo stockpile must include more bolts than 200 x number of hunters. This extra ammo will be used by your marksdwarves.) (Source)
- Bug 11985 (Healthcare labors bug): Dwarves assigned to doctoring occupations not performing doctor labors.
