World Generation Failed?

[TheRev]

Everytime I try to launch a new game I get the following error message:

WorldGeneratorProcessException: The world generation process has encountered an error: [WorldGenerator][Exception] The world generator has encountered an exception: [InnerException] System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\NAME\Documents\Endless Legend\Temporary Files\WorldGeneratorOutput.zip.451.tmp' is denied.

I have tried changing all of the world settings in an attempt to get it to work but sadly no dice. Does anyone know of a workaround or upcoming fix?

System: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570k 3.40GHz
Graphics: EVGA GTX660 TI
RAM: 8GB

Quick update, it seems to work if I put the world size on tiny and only have 1 other faction. I don't want to play one vs one I want to play a full game, I am sad :(

[Landelor]

The game creates a folder in My Documents as Read-Only & Hidden. Changed the Read-Only setting and it works now.

doesn't work this method.

Hello,

We are aware of the world generation issue and we did a workaround right here:
Reporting An Issue & Workarounds.

Workaround:

• Right-click on “Endless Legend” in your Steam Library,
  
• Select “Properties”, then the “Local Files” tab.
  
• Click on the “Browse Local Files…” button.
  
• In the “Public” folder, right-click on the “WorldGenerator” folder.
  
• Select “Properties”
  
• Deselect the Read-only option.

Crash at world generation / Identical world generation

• Locate the EndlessLegend.exe executable. It should be located somewhere in $/Steam/SteamApps/Common/EndlessLegend
  
• Right click on the exe and select "Properties"
  
• Select the "Compatibility" tab
  
• Check the "Run this program in compatibility for " and select "Windows 7"
  
  
• If you are using an Anti-Virus or a Firewall program, it might be restricting Endless Legend's permission to write/create files. You can try to set your Anti-Virus/Firewall in order to give Endless Legend unlimited access rights.
  Once you did that, start Endless Legend in administrator mode.

For the MAC version
We have only 2 OSX machines at work and the game is working fine on both of them.

• 1. Can you send another diagnostics file after you try playing on a new map (we might get slightly more info when dealing with a new map).
  Please also send some system information.
  
  
• 2. Maybe some required OSX package failed to install on first game launch.
  To repeat the process please follow these instructions:
  In Steam client, in the game libraries tab, right-click (or MAC equivalent) on “Endless Legend” to open the game Properties,
  a. Click on the “Local Files” tab,
  b. Select “Browse local files”,
  c. In the Finder window you should see some files related to the “Endless Legend” game, somewhere under “Libraries/Application Support/Endless Legend” or something.
  i. The folder should contain a package file “MonoFramework-MRE-3.4.0.macos10.xamarin.x86.pkg”
  (this package – or more recent version – is required to execute Windows .Net executables on OSX)
  ii. Install the package.
  iii. Try to launch a new game.
  
• 3. If applicable, check your antivirus to make sure it doesn’t prevent the game from launching the “WorldGenerator” process.
  
  
• 4. If still stuck, try to add the command line option “-useshellexecute” (Properties on “Endless Legend” in Steam client library, and “Launch Options”) in last resort… and launch a new game (don’t load Tutorial).

Do not hesitate to tell us if it works or not. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm facing similar behavior, but getting a different error.

Instead of saying Unauthorized Access Exception, I'm getting a System.ArgumentException: 1 is not a compatible code page.

OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit
CPU: Intel Core i5-4200U 1.6GHz
GPU: Geforce GT 740M
RAM: 8 GB

Tried the solution posted above, just in case.. no changes.

Below is the full error stack.

Hello, thank you for you feedback.

Is it possible for you to give us the Output_log.txt and the Diagnostics.html in order to understand what happened.

• Output_log.txt - [Steam install dir]/Steamapps/Common/Endless Legend/EndlessLegend_Data/output_log.txt
  
• Diagnostics.html - [Documents dir]/Endless Legend/Temporary Files/Diagnostics*.html

You closed my question, but its not what i was talking about, im not having error messages, game just stucks on world generation.

[Gladeel]

I re-opened your thread and asked you more data in order to resolve the issue.

[Steph(✿◠‿◠)]

We also suggest players with ATI cards on a 64 bits system to use the 32 bits version of the game we made available through the Beta system: http://steamcommunity.com/app/289130/discussions/0/613937306608345411/

You basically just need to right click on the game in your Steam library > Properties > Beta > it's in the droplist.

I`ve tried to run game with that, still nothing works, game has infinite world generation.
