Crashing generating large island
« on: March 11, 2014, 12:17:52 am »

I just downloaded v4i. It seems when I generate a large island, it just crashes after a few min. I don't have this issue with vanilla df or some of the other gen options. If it matters I'm running Win 8 64-bit.

Side question, I left the embark points at default in the settings and when I chose the Mandelbrot gen I had no embark points to prepare carefully. Is this normal?

this happened to me in 4h, at around year 250. It worked fine the 2nd time though, when I stopped at 210.

Yeah, it happened to me twice. Each time when I choose large island.

I attempted lowering the civ amount from 65 back to 40. Crashed again. It also crashes on Large Region and standard world gen.

a) Use MWDF map profiles as the default ones may be bugged with MWDF
b) short histories (<100) as the MWDF civs have troubles surviving longer worldgens and again may cause bugs

Lowering the history years seemed to have worked so far, thanks.

Double post, sorry.
