Summary0004436: Crash when Embarking on Lakes
DescriptionWhen trying to embark onto a region containing a lake (lake within embark area), the game crashes from the Embark pages.

Tried EMBARK NOW and PREPARE CAREFULLY and PROFILE X.

Tried several different lakes with similar and different biome configurations; sometimes two tiles within the embark area was enough to cause a crash, sometimes it was fine with 5.

Crashed always on several lakes, crashed varyingly (depending on embark configuration) on other lakes. Middle square of embark area placed both on and off lake tiles, crashed either way (or didn't, rarely).
Steps To ReproduceFind a lake. Try to embark on part of it. Try to embark on more of it, less of it, move the embark area around.

Are you using any mods? What version was the world generated in? Does this happen on every world? If not, it would be helpful to post your world gen params on http://pastebin.com/ [^]

Not using any mods. It was generated in the latest version, .25. I haven't embarked on a lake in awhile, so I'm not sure what the last version it worked on was.

I'm genning another world right now to see if it happens there, too. It happens more on EVIL lakes than GOOD lakes, but still happens on both. I tried a few more lakes last night / this morning with the same sometimes-error.

Genned a new world, and didn't experience any crashes on the new world (6 embarks now), using a similar mix of Embark options, different civilizations, different lakes and lake tile choices, etc.

Tried some more on the first world; even when it didn't crash, it was especially slow in loading, and had some random other crashes when trying to browse the world.

http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=RnbvHp6Q [^] - Here's my worldgen parameters (same for both worlds).


Generated a third world using the same parameters, and didn't experience any crashes there, either.

Retried back in first world, still crashing sometimes, sometimes not. Haven't modified any files or data, so don't know what's wrong with that world, but the others are working fine.

Can you post the specific parameters of the first world (i.e. including the seeds)? I think the best way to get those is to open the world in Legends and use the "Export parameters" option.
