So I just discovered this game, and I would really like to play it.
Problem is that as soon as i click new game, and choose a world name, the game crashes.
There is no other error other than "Noxico has stopped working", the only indication I have is that it always crashes when it says "applying missions" in the corner.
I'm running windows 10.

Found the issue, I think. I'll look into fixing it now.

----

It's because of the new multithreaded world generator. Some things'll need to be moved around to fix this. Basically, it used to be that the world wasn't generated until after you pressed Play in the character creator. Now, the world is made while you're designing your character. If you beat the worldgen to it, you get a bit of backstory while it finishes. What's supposed to happen when the worldgen beats you to it, is that the game simply starts when you press Play.

Unfortunately, the home base system needs access to the player character. When there is no home base, you're placed in a random town in the human realm and nothing happens. If there is one, the home base's number is supposed to be stored in the player's character data... which does not exist yet because you spent too long window shopping.

---

I fixed it. You still get a bit of backstory while it does the initial save, but it should work now. New builds are available on the site.

(Incidentally, it's version 0.1.5, not 0.1.5.7. The 7 is part of the extension cos it's a 7zip file.)

Hello.
First post here.

I would like to say I have same issue with game crashing if it beats me to play button with world gen. I'm guessing issue was not fixed in version 1.5. I have a 4 core i5 3.2GHz so it is kinda hard to get my character going before process finishes generating :P I could suggest a hot fix in a form of an event to wait at the end of the world gen until dumb slow human presses play button.

Really? Let's check this out.

Test 1 - I finish making my character before the world finishes generating
I get the backstory screen while worldgen finishes up, and there's a slight delay as it saves. The game starts as it should.

Test 2 - Let worldgen finish before I do
I let it finish while waiting on the Play button. Indeed, as the backstory starts, I get a crash while applying the stat bonuses. Which is empathically not the same issue as before, though somewhat related. I'm looking into it now.

Edit: seems to be a bit of a race condition?

Edit: DrawSidebar() tried to use information that wasn't actually available yet. It now detects the character creation and story subscreens and returns early. I'll put up a new release after pushing to Bitbucket.
