I had the same issue on the precompiled version. Fulvio wrote me a comment: "The precompiled version is built by the CI using an Ubuntu runner, and it is highly likely that the Tk configure script didn't enable some extra font libraries used in your distro." I compiled the source against tcl/tk9.0 on my system and all fonts working well now. So best suggestion: compile it for your system. (compiling against tlc/tk8.6 should work also)

I'm having the same issue with v5.2, I updated as well from v5.1 At first the text looked different but still legible, I messed around with the text options, came back another day and now it displays what the screenshot shows, completely illegible. I am running the linux version on linux mint

Thanks Fulvio! {By the way, I've noticed that the and sign "&" causes problems as well. Both in the PGN name and the directory name. --> sorry that's wrong, it was my fault!} The problem was if there are too many directories and subdirectories inwhich the pgn is stored, then SCID can't load it. Perhaps a Win 11 restrction.

I’ve pushed a fix. It should now correctly handle all database filenames (PGN, SCID5, SCID4) for every operation (creation, opening, compaction). Currently, when exporting to text files (LaTeX, HTML, and PGN exports), non-ASCII characters in filenames may still appear garbled if your operating system isn’t set to UTF-8 (the default on Windows). However the PGN files can be reopened as databases (or manually renamed). Please let me know if you encounter any other issues.

Thank for your answer. I made a new build of SCID 5.0.2 on Gentoo with the -DNDEBUG flag and I can import the PGN with this crazy game of Nakamura ! It count 298 moves in the game list but the game can indeed be loaded with all the 810 moves. Finally, instead of trying to repair the corrupted si4 database, I recreated a new one in the si5 format.

Thanks for the report. The issue you experienced occurred because assertions were enabled in this specific build. Assertions are a debugging mechanism designed to halt the program immediately when an unexpected condition is encountered. While this is useful for developers to find bugs, in a normal-use scenario this sudden halt can interrupt file operations and lead to unpredictable outcomes, such as the database corruption that occurred in this case. The technical details: - In the index structure...

Thank you for reporting this issue. The clipboard access in both cases uses Tcl/Tk's selection get -selection CLIPBOARD.

Evrything seems to be working; after importing the big pgn-file into a new .si5 database. To me it seems that .si5 has some improvements. Chess960 games could well be the culprit; I update my database with TWIC and 960 is included in those files. Scid4.7 doesn't seem to mind. Improvements can at first be seen as a bug or an error; it is probably a good idea to convert my excisting databases using the pgn-method to the .si5 format. Thanks. greetings<< Harry

Fulvio — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 00:42:32 -0000

Thanks for the update. If you can confirm that after creating a new .si5 database and importing the big pgn-file, it works fine, we can safely assume the error was caused by some corrupt games. It may also be worth mentioning that Chess960 games are supported only in SCID5 (.si5) and PGN databases. Older versions may fail to detect this variant and incorrectly attempt to import those games into SCID4 (.si4) databases.

Thank you for your fast reply and explanation. Exporting to pgn didn't give any fails or stops. Opening that pgn-file in scid did give parsing errors for a number of games. I Deleted those games and used maintenance/compact database; opening the Tree Window gave the same problem and an abort. I've compiled scid 5.1 myself in gentoo based on the ebuild for scid-5.0.2; so it is possible i'am using an assert-enabled build. Out of curiousity I've started scid 5.1 again and opened the pgn-file (the full...

That assert isn’t an “index-generation” failure in itself; it’s Scid aborting because it hit an impossible move while replaying moves into a position: Position::DoSimpleMove(): Assertion `piece_Color(sm.capturedPiece) == enemy' failed Meaning: Scid believes a move is a capture, but the piece it thinks is being captured is not an enemy piece at that square. The crash you’re seeing is an assertion, and assertions are normally only enabled in debug (or assert-enabled) builds. In a “release” build this...
