So let me start by saying I am sorry if I missed a post about this but I have put in the effort and searched.

So I cant get the game to finish world generation. It errors out at finalizing world creation or something at the very end. I did get it to go through once a few days ago but I have been unable to get it to work correctly after that.  The only changes I make to the WorldGen part are upping the embark points and lowering the start year. 

I have deleted and downloaded unzipped the file multiple times. I use the app that ups the amount of ram the df.exe uses. Rebooted my PC etc.

The one time I did get the world to generate when I tried to embark and chose a location, most of the time I was unable to move the 3x3 box around in the very left window and sometimes it wasnt the default 3x3 it would be like 3x8 or something - very strange.

Any help would be much appreciated - thanks in advance!

Keep an eye on the RAM its using. If it goes above 2 gigs or 4 gigs (depending on whether Large Address Aware is up), it will implode. So you can't get too overambitious with your worldgen settings.

Thanks for the response Deinos.

Are there some things I should turn off that are on by default? Like I said the only thing I change on the world gen thing is I up the embark points a few thousand and lower the start year to like 400 or 500.

I usually start in year 100. Less history = fewer chances of a problem with gen in my experience.

If it crashes at worldgen, its usually the fault of civs. Try disabling half of the civs, then try again. I remember a case when certain civs crashed the worldgen for certain people, but havent heard about that one in ages. But worth a try.

Will give it a shot tonight - thanks again guys
