Summary0000735: Loading game immed. after generating new world results in invalid ID numbers
DescriptionI create a new world, then load a previous dwarf mode save in the same session. The game hangs indefinately on the "loading game..." screen.
The save does not load after several minutes, and I have to quit through the OS.

after quitting and restarting, game loads as normal. The bug only occurs when performing a new worldgen in the same session.

Just confirmed this did not occur in ver 40d18.
Steps To Reproducedesign new world with parameters (tested for pocket & smaller worlds)
generate world
continue playing
select preexisting world

What size worlds are you generating?

unable to reproduce.

tried creating several worlds in a row, while the system froze up some from the abuse of doing three world gens in a row, it did recover. loaded an unrelated save after each worldgen with no difficulties.

I'm wondering if this may be related to reports that the new worldgen fails to release memory after a worldgen.

What are your system specs ?

footkerchief - my existing save is on a default 'create new world now' world in slot 1.
I've reproduced the hang after genning pocket and smaller worlds in slots 3 and 4. It's hanged every time on 5 or 6 such tests.

Specs;
Intel core 2 duo (2.1 GHz)
4GB ram (though only 3GB usable)
Windows 7 32bit.

gonna run more tests..

After further tests it seems the tests are loading, just after a delay and after producing a long errorlog. On testing various world sizes;

gen pocket -> load pocket - loads quickly, 26KB log
gen pocket -> load smaller - loads quickly, 77KB log
gen small -> load pocket - longish wait, 4857KB log
gen smaller -> load smaller - loads quickly, 66KB log

on tests involving larger size worlds I lose patience and quit before the game loads. However I have watched the errorlog grow to 10MB+.

Replicated using fresh download. I'm also making sure to quit and restart between each test.

-edit-

genned a pocket world then loaded a medium size save. approx 10 mins later its open with a 54MB log.

Do you have the game installed in Program Files? That causes errors on Vista and probably Win 7.

I had it installed in "my documents"
After copying the folder to root on a separate partition, I still get the same issue.

I should also report that I have graphics turned off.

I'm coming back to this one, I'm amending my earlier statement. I haven't seen a crash from this, but I can reliably generate error reports. I did some quick tests with pockets, I guess I can try a larger one for giggles.

I've fixed this one, but it doesn't seem like it is related to any of the parent issues, so I've removed those. It's still unclear what is going on there at times.
