In pure vanilla 42.02 I recently crashed 2 out of 5 times generating a default Medium Region. It's an improvement over 42.01 which seemed to crash 100% of the time very early in the progress, often nearly instantly.

2 min 30 sec in, crashed at approximately year 163.
 
1 min 26 sec, crashed at year 129

They are crash to desktop. Win7x64. Running the game in a window, main focus with no multitasking going on. I have successfully generated worlds to as far as 300 so far, however.

I've been trying for hours and can't get any of these 0.42.02 world gen crashes to reproduce. So... can we narrow it down? What if you remove all the [GENERATE_POETIC_FORMS] and other art generators from your entities? Do you make it through reliably? What if you get rid of the [SCHOLAR:x] and [SET_SCHOLARS_ON_VALUES_AND_JOBS] entries from entity_default.txt? It would be cool if we could rule some things out at least, since I'm not getting crashes at all, even from the vanilla seeds people have posted.

A few things:

I tried generating another medium region with the same parameters on a Windows 8 64 bit machine today and it also crashed. (hadn't touched the raws this time) Based on BoogieMan's note I tried a Small Region instead and it generated successfully.

Tonight I tried generating a medium region with same parameters on the Windows 7 machine but removed [GENERATE_POETIC_FORMS]. It took about an hour and 15 minutes but generated successfully. I will try restoring poetic forms and removing the scholar tags from entities later tonight.

martinuzz had world gen crashes (vanilla DF) from 0009256 using these parameters:

Note the errorlog at some point generated this:

With a random seed, [GENERATE_POETIC_FORMS] on entities on, and [SCHOLAR:x] and [SET_SCHOLARS_ON_VALUES_AND_JOBS] removed, I was able to generate a world. I tried using these settings again on one of the seeds that had crashed for me prior, Seed: dLOqBaGyquzxn9HTvSNq, and it crashed just after year 250.

I finally got one to reproduce at y115 with an artist of some kind writing a book (no additional info yet). So if they are still happening when all the art forms (including dance) are removed, then there are two+ bugs. But at least I've got one of them on the run.

Okay I ran some worldgens.

ran 5 worldgens after removing all instances of [GENERATE_MUSICAL_FORMS], [GENERATE_POETIC_FORMS] and [GENERATE_DANCE_FORMS].
All 5 succesfully generated a world (I ran until the year 250)

Then I ran a worldgen where I removed POETIC and DANCE, but did not remove MUSIC, since music seemed to me the most likely culprit, if I am to make any sense of the "PLAINS trying to generate musical form without speech or instruments" line in my previous error log.

AND BEHOLD. First try. Dwarf fortress.exe has stopped working. Strangely, no error log was created. It looks like I've found the most likely culprit there. For completeness, I'll see if I can get DF to poop out another error log on the MUSIC gens, and I am gonna run some more worldgens with only DANCE and only POETIC not removed. Will update on the results

another crash (after 2 succesful gens with MUSIC). Again, no error log was created. This is the gamelog though:

Hmmweird. I got 2 more crashes with worldgens using only MUSIC

Now I am trying worldgens with no MUSIC, but with DANCE and POETIC.
They don't crash during calendar, like the MUSIC crashes.
However, 3 out of 3 crashed now during the 'finalizing art' part of worldgen.

QUESTION: Could that be because there is no MUSIC for the DANCE?

I've fixed the book crash now, which would be something that could happen if you have any kind of art form activated (wandering performers crashed it writing books if it couldn't find a nearby site to consider).

It doesn't explain the no speech or instruments line. Since humans can talk, it was... a plump helmet man trying to piggy back on their entity? I have no idea yet.

I tried to handle the cases where other art forms don't exist, but there could very well be a crash from not having music for dances, since I didn't test the non-vanilla cases much when I was messing around.
