**FINAL EDIT : SOLVED**  
**It was indeed linked to the locales, as I’ve been warned when the game started the first time.**  
**Solution in my case, KDE/CachyOS, has been to reset locales to default through the KDE Settings app.**

Hey all,

This crash occurs with cataclysm-tiles 0.H-3.

I’ve just started playing cdda again, and simply used pacman to get the latest version from Arch (CachyOS).

Upon my first launch, I used the “Random Character” option, and my few first spawns had an NPC close to me. The very first button I pushed was “C”, and then the option to talk to them. It immediately crashed (did not even open the interaction/dialogue window), and happened various times, with different random characters and spawns.  
Unaffortunately, I didn’t keep those crash logs, and continued trying new characters.

One of the random characters spawned alone, and I managed to get him to some horse farm with kilns and an NPC that’s trying to make a forge.  
I could talk to him, get his quest (find an anvil), but upon exploring other dialogue options, it crashed too. It systematically crashes on the same option when I reload and try again (I had saved before talking to him). The option is: “Let’s talk about something else”, which appears after accepting the quest, or when talking to him again and asking again about his forge setup (both paths trigger the crash).

EDIT: It also happened with other characters, with this same line: “Let’s talk about something else”, as well as with other lines (“It’s nice that you still have your family together”).

_EDIT2: Actually, I’m thinking that CDDA may have warned me about ‘locale’ issues the first time I launched it. Could that be it ? If yes, is there something I can do to solve the issue ?_

Here is the crash.log:
