Have you tried making a map...?
If so, check here: Map Tutorial  (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=11)
If it's just crashing period, try uninstalling / reinstalling FH using the uninstaller.exe I believe. Hope something works ~!

Adding on to what Hakumi has said, if you have made a map and you are trying to open the map file, make sure you have all of your items where they should be, and check your particles folder for any duplicates. Hope this helps fluff! ^^

Adding onto the two above me, also make sure that there is no alpha channel (transparency) anywhere on the map. FH maps don't support that, so it could cause major issues.
Also, how large is the map? It should be a square shape, and no more than 2000 pixels.

The map is 513 by 513 And the farthest I have gotten is RGB Masking and then ploop crashing.

Adding on to that, after making the map, go to images > flatten image. That could be your problem.

There should also be only one layer, since many people do the layer/transparency trick for making masks, be sure to delete any excess!

I've had this issue once or twice a long time ago. 'Tis b'fore ye even get to loading any maps, yes? If that's the case, check y'er map maker r'lated files such as particles, terrains, map folders, and et cetera. It may be that a file that map maker is trying to load isn't there or is corrupted. Best of luck to ye.
