Hey, since i'm affected by the CtD problems of DoD too i've made some searching... the source for the CtD's that happens most in the time is a difference with the case of the path strings in the config xml's and the real path leading to the file... i won't blame any of the dev's (im thankfull for this game, gave me some funny hours) its a huge database where its no problem for a small typo to sneak in... finally i found something... http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/ciopfs/ it let a user mount a linux folder without case sensitivity Code: 1. install fuse 2. install ciopfs (maybe its in the repro, for arch user its in AUR) 3. mkdir -p ~/ciopfs/{.data,case-insensitive} 4. ciopfs ~/ciopfs/.data ~/ciopfs/case-insensitive for Steam: 5. mv ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/dungeons\ of\ dredmor ~/ciopfs/case-insensitive/dungeons\ of\ dredmor 6. ln -s ~/ciopfs/case-insensitive/dungeons\ of\ dredmor ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/dungeons\ of\ dredmor made a test before doing the move i renamed DoD/sprites/diggle to Diggle (one of the first loaded monsters) this gave me a CtD instantly uppon entering the dungeon with the same name it does'nt crash from the ciopfs location hope you can follow this guide ^^
