0006979: Game locks when generating medium/large worlds with 2 complete edge oceans
If any of medium region, medium island, large region or large island are edited to have 0 partial edge oceans and 2 complete edge oceans in world generation, the game locks. The game also locks for custom 257x129 regions. The game does not lock for small, smaller and pocket sized regions, or regions such as 257x17 -> 257x65.
Edit any of the medium/large worlds (or make a custom world with each side 129 or bigger) to have 2 complete edge oceans and try to world gen.
In 257*257 the game advances to generate a world filled entirely with ocean (light blue double tilde) before locking; any less and it crashes without displaying the world gen screen.
No tags attached.
