DF stops working when starting large map
« on: April 04, 2009, 01:04:15 am »
I don't have any problems playing medium to less maps or large extracted maps but when I play a generated large map, DF stops working when I select Dwarf Fortress, adventurer, or legends mode. Would like to know what is the cause of this and if there is a way to fix or get around it if possible.

How does it stop working? Do you mean the game freezes or it crashes?

I think it crashes. A message pops up that states that a problem has caused DF has stopped working and goes back to desktop. I think it is related to the population cap of civilization creation as it seems to happen on medium maps also. Was curious if anyone else has this problem.

Nevermind, I think it was something I did wrong. Works fine after reinstalling.
