I'm 2 days into the mod, and really impressed. Thank you for breathing new life into Xenonauts.
### Bug Report
I tried to pull up the game this morning, and on hitting 'load game' from the main menu, or 'save game' from the geoscape of a new game (didn't try load game there, but I'm confident it was borked also) the game froze, and windows gave me a 'this application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way', and the application exited.
Assuming the problem was based on FS access, I moved all my savegames out of the `...\Xenonauts` directory, restarted the game, and was able to open the load menu (no games displayed). I put back the most recent save, which caused the problematic behavior again (see attached, battlescape save), then removed it and tried again with the second-most recent save, which does _not_ cause the issue.
My assumption is that the save metadata is corrupted in some way that makes the app vomit when reading it, but I don't have the xenonauts technical knowledege to investigate further.
Side note: Is there a bug tracker anywhere? I've tried googling, and it seems like this forum (76 pages, today) is the only place where bugs are reported. I hate to possibly post a dupe, but as this is a game-crasher, I figured I'd post it anyway, in case it helps someone else.
