BUG? Starting new game with Map from WB crashes the game!

[Tomice]

Hi!

I've made a map in WB and want to use it for a new game (no mods active yet). It is a simple terra map, I just wanted to make sure that there are no big inland seas, because I started terra twice just to figure out I had no access to the ocean.

I can see my map among the other map scripts, both in the normal (advanced) game creation screen and in mods -> single player. I can select it and start a game with it, but when the narrator tells his initial speech the voice starts stuttering after a few seconds and vanishes. After that it keeps loading for several minutes (usually game creation takes about 1 min on my machine). I never tried longer than 10 min, but when I finally ALT-TAB out of the game Windows7 shows an unspecific error message ("Civ5 had to be quit after an error").

I tried deactivating my firewall both during map creation and ingame use.

What could be the error?

Do I have to assign starting positions manually? I just created the map using the terra script a few times and saved one that I liked.

You shouldn't need to set starting locations on the map, they're only for specific scenarios you may wish to create.

I've had a similar issue to this also where it does the exact same thing. The only thing I can tie it down to is the size of the map. Upon creating a similar version of my map, but on a smaller scale the map appears to work fine.

I'll try my map on my home machine (slightly more powerful) and see what results I get.

Same problem here. Occasionally I get it to run, but end up in the wrong starting location or with the wrong civilization.

Yes, that might be it! I've only ever tried to create huge maps, because I like them, and because I don't know how big the other map sizes should be.

I'll try something smaller. Anybody knows the map sizes?


EDIT: Seems to be it!

I'd be happy, if it wasn't for 2 things:

- I like big maps!
- I can't play terra this way! The game treats my terra map as continents, half of the civs start in the new world...
