I just started to play the game and after playing the tutorial i went into free play with default settings. First i thought everything was fine but when i tried to go in any direction i was only able to move to a giant black border.
Here is a picture:

I spent multiple hours on this map is there any way to fix this or do i have to create a new map?

Not sure if the image worked here is a link to it

It is not a bug, it is just edge of the map.
You might have specified size of the map, can you provide the save game?

Like this?

loading that string your map is set to 200x200 tiles. it's is the edge of the map as Kovarex said.
if you want a larger game set it higher, or to 0 blank for infinite.

BTW to post images, post the image url itself not the page url.
like this. or even better spoiler it welcome to the forums.
