Summary0005284: Crash on Embark
DescriptionAny region/world I create is bugged in 34.02.
Regions/Worlds:
Pheobus Installed 34.02: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5597
Vanilla 34.02: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5598

I have had a few successful embarks with 34.01...however in 34.02 I was able to embark only at the first region/first site/first embark. It was a test embark to see if this version worked better. Every embark on any generated world since then has failed in version 34.02. In 34.01 it was HIGHLY site dependent. Speculation: if there was not enough elevation variance or too little then the site would be non-embark-able.
Steps To ReproduceGenerate World
Select Site
Embark!
Crash!?!
TagsNo tags attached.

 Have you tried this without using/installing Phoebus, that is, on a clean 34.02 install?

Yes, to my knowledge "Vanilla" means unedited/unmodded/clean install. I have already uploaded one of the many regions I created in a clean 34.02 install.

However I have found the main cause(s) of it in 34.02. The crash is dependent on region location, elevation(and variation of)**, and most importantly region size. Anything above 11x11 site area size is a 100% instant crash at embark. My computer should be able to handle above 11x11 easily, however. I get great frame-rates at 10x10, and 11x11; if it successfully embarks. The game runs without a hitch after a successful embark. No problems saving or re-loading yet.

**Completely flat areas are usually insta-crash. Very high elevations are usually insta-crash. Both cases regardless of site-size.

What happens to your memory usage as you embark? Does it reach 2 GB?

No it does not reach 2GB, it gets close to 2GB, around ~1959000 K and crashes.

 Getting close to 2 GB is good enough to make this a duplicate of 0000136, especially if you're embarking on 11x11 sites. For sites with high elevation variance, you might be getting 0002713.
