DF crashes on worldgen?
« on: August 20, 2010, 09:11:53 am »
I've been having this problem recently (with version .12): Whenever I try to gen a world (with or without parameters, any size) the game gets to "Placing civilizations", then I get the typical windows "Dwarf Fortress has stopped responding" message. Apart from some init.d settings, the game is entirely unmodified. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

This happens for me very consistently if you start a worldgen, abort it, and start a new one with a different parameter set - for me this usually happens when I hit the default "Create world now!" option on the main menu and then abort that to change parameter sets.  It's OK to interrupt it if you don't change parameter sets though.
