I added a map, and followed the instructions, but I can't get past the first startup. I have my animals set to 0, and my day cycle set to 1. My console is stuck in a loop of:

{02} <createWorld> [0] applying 430429 geo changes of ter#442 to navMesh#1650

It goes from #442 to #450 then goes back to #442. It takes about 20 minutes to go through it once.

I use pingperfect for my server host if that makes any difference. I used the SeraphJan map.

that sounds like something you should address to pingperfect support.
