I am a brand new player and I am trying to generate a world, but the game crashes every time I do so. When I finalize my character it says building world for a few seconds and then I get a generic windows popup saying that Cataclysm has stopped working. The world I am trying to load has no mods and I am in the latest version of Cataclysm. I am using the cdda launcher.

I fixed the problem. Cataclysm had installed wrong. I just had to reinstall it and it works fine now.
