Clicked the button under Workers on a Metalsmith's Forge to assign to a dwarf, game instantly crashed. It does not appear to be immediately repeatable, my last save was back a ways but loading it and clicking the same button on the same force does not reproduce the issue.

Getting this one as well. I have a worker assigned to a Carpenter's shop, but now every other shop causes my game to crash when assignig a worker.

A player emailed and mentioned that they had a similar issue, and fixed it by:

"I then tried switching into windowed mode before assigning a dwarf and I was able to use the function without crashing. Even after changing back to fullscreen mode 2560x1440 the function now works as intended. After restarting the game, the function still works as intended. This may be an intermittent issue?"

They also mentioned that they use a Samsung G7 Odyssey monitor, it would be interesting to know what is the monitor and resolution for other folks getting this crash.

Experiencing this same issue as well, but it was repeatable 3 times in a row for me, at 3 different types of workstations (tried windowed mode and that did not resolve it).

Put the game into Window mode, seems to run without a crash so far

having this same issue, have played the entire time in windowed mode, was able to assign workers to workshops before 2nd migrant wave came, after that wave came, game has crashed on any workshop I tried to specify a worker (tested multiple times). I reloaded a save before the wave, and was able to assign without crash.
Changed to fullscreen mode to test and still crashed when trying to assign workshop after 2nd wave.
Edit: changed resolution from detect to 1920x1080 and still crashing.
UI also bugs out and shows 2 icons for workshop assignment after 2nd wave.

I reload the save before the 2nd wave and there is no UI bug

Reloaded a save before 2nd wave, turned off UI scaling, migrant wave came and no longer having any issue with crashes

There are several people having this same issue, i believe as you have said it is closely linked to the workshop assignment. i have experienced this crash when trying to assign a worker

Same issue, have a manager assigned, and seems to be occurring for multiple workshop types. Tried Stonecutter and Jeweler. Have a 2560x1440 monitor. Tried this in both full screen and windowed in native res.

I have a 2560x1440 monitor and I'm playing in fullscreen. The game crashes to desktop every time I attempt to assign a worker to a Craftdwarf's Workshop. I'm able to reproduce the crash every time. I haven't crashed when doing the same thing on other types of workshops, at least as far as I can recall I tested this again and it seems to be crashing with more workshops than just the Craftdwarf's Workshop like it was initially (at least I thought it was just that one).

Edit: If I switch to windowed mode, then try to assign a worker, it works as expected: no crashes. If I switch back to fullscreen, then attempt it again, it crashes.

Extra Edit: If it makes a difference, my monitor is a LG 27GL83A-B

I can live with playing in windowed mode 🤷‍♂️

same issue, 2K monitor like the others, crash everytime i assign someone to my fishery

Also same issue. 1440p monitor. Happened in fullscreen and windowed mode. I tried it first with the still, then the Carpenter's Workshop. Both cause crashes.

I've had been having the same issues with my 2560x1440 monitor, It seems to be an issue with UI scaling, turning UI scaling off solves the problem.

I'm playing in Window mode, 2560x1440 and getting the same issue.

I went into window mode and was able to assign a workshop to a dwarf. Then went back to fullscreen. Seems to work so far.

I turned off automatic ui scaling in the menus and left scaling at 100% this appeared to work for me for some time last night. Will try it out again today to see how performance is

It's the "Scale interface to fit grid height/width" option.

As he said.

Update 4 hours later: It seems that not choosing automatic ui scaling will not cause a CTD anymore.
DFW Steam: Latest Version.
Scale Interface to fit grid height/width: No.
Resolution: 2560x1440.
Mode: Window Mode.
Hardware: 5900x/3080/32GB

Similar issue on my end. Assigning workers to a workshop or assigning more than 2 dwarfs to a hospital was causing CTD. Error replicable each time after reloading. Happening both on Fullscreen mode 2560x1440. and on windowed mode with maximized window. Noticed one variable though. In the "small" window I was able to assign dwarfs without issues.

Same here. It was intermittent. Haven't tried UI scaling yet.

I get this every time too

Confirming that turning the UI Scaling off fixed this issue for me. 1440p monitor

Can confirm this happens to me

We're probably pushing a fix for widescreen crashing tomorrow. In the meantime you can try a 1920x1080 monitor or force it to windowed 1920x1080 resolution, which should help a lot
