I am playing  
0.C-14683-g1da5a09 (tiles)  
cataclysmdda-0.C-4959

When creating a character, using a template or randomizing a character, the game will crash instead of starting up.  
The only way to play seems to be to press the “Play Now!” button.

That was not the case in version cataclysmdda-0.C-4820

This is a known issue that is being worked on. The last generally stable experimental that I know of is 4944, but 4945 may be stable.

Thank you for your quick help!  
It seems odd to me that I did not find that information anywhere else. I assume that regulars have other means of information and communication like a chat program. It would probably be a good idea, though, to inform those who are out of the loop, for example on the homepage.  
I am sorry if I have missed it.
