So the game crashes when I died

    Yes I already made this but I don't think it's because of my PC(Windows 7).
    I tried every single darn thing. Reinstalling, rebooting, deleting, etc etc. It still crashes when I die.
    I really hate playing games that keep doing that. What do I do!?

    Check your game folder (steamapps/common/dungeons of dredmor/) and see if it created a .dmp file with the appropriate timestamp. If so please upload it.

    2 options;

    1. You never played the game
    2. You're looking in the wrong folder

    Or it just didn't create, it happens.

    Sorry FurryDragon, can you check if dying again crashes you everytime? if so, then save before you die and upload the save.

    Okay, what now?
    (no I don't know why the folder isn't named gaslamp games I found it like that)

    ...what? nothing is at it should be, those files shouldn't be there, and even if you had somehow installed it there it's missing all the folders required for the game, and all the save folders aren't there either.

    Reinstall. That might fix your crashes too.

    That's not the folder you are looking for, really. Try making the folder Daynab mentioned yourself, and giving the system appropriate permissions - both Vista and Win7 sometimes have suicidal hiccups with permissions (like not allowing the game to create the save game and score folder, and thus making it crash when your character dies; yes, really, that is likely the issue there), thought I don't know why would that happen.

    I don't think reinstalling the system just to fix a problem with one game is the right solution here. But, if everything else fails...

    so I reinstalled an I still get nothing and I don't know if there is one but I still can't find a save folder, I even saved before I died when I tested it!

    Then, as I said, create the folder yourself.

    The folder has to be there, not in the "it's impossible for the game to had not created it", but rather in the "if it's not there things will go FUBAR" way.

    still happening and nothing's in the save folder I made.
    Game, I will stop sinning if you can work with me ;n;

    Have you given the system (and anything else) full permission to the folder? And anything that could possibly be in it?

    How do I do that!?

    Context menu -> properties.
    Then, go to the "security" (or however it is called, depending on your operating system's language) tab, and then hit the "advanced settings" button (not tab, the button that is somewhere near the bottom).
    There, for every user change the settings so that everything would be permitted and nothing forbidden, and apply the settings for all sub-folders and files in that folder.
