Spring freezes while "Loading Lua UI..."

[Rafal99]

I have a problem in this version of Spring that wasn't happening in the previous versions.
Whenever I start a game on a metal map Spring is loading, calculating paths etc. until it comes to "Loading Lua UI...", then it stops responding. I tried waiting 10+ minutes, to see if it will finally load, but it doesn't happen and I have to close Spring by killing process.
The problem only happens on metal maps.
I expect that it is caused by a widget that uses some unoptimized algorithm to find metal spots. And a map that have metal everywhere causes it to go into a very looong or even infinite loop.
Anyone had this problem and know what causes this? Is it caused by some widget? If yes then which one?

Thanks for help in advance.

I think its the prospector widget.

You could tell us which widgets you're using. It may be the prospector widget, but that one is pretty tight - if it causes you to lock up on metal maps, that might even be intentional. I kid, I kid!

I'd like to know if it's the prospector widget.. If so i'll ditch it from BA asap

It would be smarter to merely modify it to disable on maps with crazy metal distributions. In any case, you should discuss this with the developer of the widget rather than do anything rash.

Same problem on Castles, even - not just Speedmetal crazy metal maps. Good to know people have narrowed down the source. Was confusing the hell out of me since I use castles as a test-map when I'm tinkering.

Yeah the problem was caused by Area Mex widget. When I disabled it Spring was loading normally.
I have downloaded the new version of the widget, tested it, and no more problems.

Thanks everyone for help!
