Summary0004009: World Gen Crash
DescriptionUsing the Create World Now feature, I wound up with a crash about 71 years into history generation.

Used map size large, history very long, num civs high, num beasts very high - everything else at medium.


Steps To ReproduceI didn't attempt to reproduce because I don't know how to rerun the Create A World parameters with the same seed.
Additional InformationGamelog and seeds:

Can you identify what the memory usage was at the time of crash?

Unfortunately, no. There's well over 4 gigs to spare on the system, so if it ran out, it ran all the way out to the process limit. Other similar worlds (with different seeds) are around about 300mb at that point in history.

If you have any idea what parameters create now uses, I can run it again and find out.

To use the parameters you've given us to try and reproduce this, you'll have to use "Design new world with parameters" and use Medium Island, then manually input the seeds using "Enter advanced parameters". If prompted you don't have to save your changes, just be sure not to change anything but the seeds.

You sure? Create A World has some additional parameters (new as of .19? I've never seen them before, anyway) for adjusting world size, settlement counts, and stuff - and I changed a few of those off the defaults.

Ran world gen with those seeds and plain vanilla medium island. That worked fine.

I fed the information into the Create World Now dialog and it went through fine. It looks like one of the more annoying intermittent crashes that we'll have to wait on.

Hopefully this is one of the crashes that has since been fixed.
