ADOM crashes on startup
When launching the game, I get a "Expected chunk 'GSUD' not found" immediately after the first screen.

When I launch ADOM, I get the following message:

"An error occurred:

Expected chunk 'GSUD' not found."

This occurs immediately after the first screen of the game, after I hit "space". This is the first time this has ever happened to me, but persists after reinstalling the game or checking game file integrity via Steam. I didn't have a crash the last time I played ADOM, nothing unusual occurred, and to my knowledge, I haven't changed anything about my computer's configuration. The game just doesn't work anymore, for no clear reason.

The adom.err file generated has the following error (followed by a game state dump of about 320 000 characters, not sure if I should post that as well for now):

I've had that. Deleting adom.gsu in ADOM/Steam fixes it. The game recreates it.

Hm, do you by any chance still have the old version of the "adom.gsu" file (the one that caused the crash)? Otherwise it might be difficult to resolve this issue.

I don't. I didn't think to keep it (in hindsight, pretty stupid, I know). I'm really sorry.
