DF Gameplay Questions / world gen hangs (in WinE and WinXP too) [solved]
« on: September 15, 2008, 04:18:28 am »
Greetings !
I seem to have a problem with world generation in 28.181.40d (27.176.38c worked and still works fine, did not try any intermediate versions) ... For what it's worth, I'm using wine 1.0_rc1 to play on linux.
When i try to generate a new world (usually with MEDIUM parameters, but others seem to behave the same), it goes through the first phases as expected, but upon generating the history of the world, it looks like it hangs up: Processor use stays at 99% (which seems to be normal, as far as i can see from 38c), but the screen does not change anymore, and after waiting for five minutes, I can only assume that nothing will happen further. Usually it only reaches "Initializing" (with no dots), but on occasion the Age of Myth is reached, counting to year 2 or 3, only rarely reaching a later year, with 45 the latest ever reached in about fifty tries.
Of course, I could generate a new world with 38c, but I'd like to have a new world with the now introduced caves for my next fortress. Any ideas or insights would be greatly appreciated.
