[v21 stable] "partially" crashing save game

[kuroi_neko]

I ran into a very strange behaviour. For quite an extended period of game time (2 months or so), every single save game would cause a CTD if trying to reload it, even from the opening screen.

However, if I loaded a specific previous save first, and any of these problematic saves just after, it would work like a charm.

Example of crashing save :

The save game that allowed to load them all:

Procedure to load a crashing save:

- go back to startup screen, either by running the game from scratch or simply chosing the "quit game" option

- load "sanitizer.sav"

- hit Esc and load "crasher.sav"

After a while, the problem disappeared. My guess is, some data (soldier equipment, research, manufacture or planes state) changed and made the problem go away.

I am one of those that use a lot of saved games during Ground combat.

Ya i don't like to see my soldiers die

The problem is that every now and then (like 1 out of 5) the game just freezes when i try to load a saved game.

Then i have to use alt-F4 to leave the game as everything is frozen.

It stays on the loading screen: Ground combat loading .

After that i restart the game and i can reload the saved game without problem.

So the saved game is not corrupt ut for some reason it freezes the game.
