Hi again,

I have attached a screenshot for one of the missions i have encountered = Russia.

After shooting down a UFO (Fighter) aiming for my HQ base (which if left unintercepted, will become a base defend mission), there was this interesting Objective = Null issue. See screenshot.

R21950 SVN is the one i am still using. (Yupz, no time to recompile as i am from home.... 56k. lol)

did you shoot that ufo before or after base defence mission? or did you save between. Perhaps there was a problem with that save to not store the mission or after base defence no objective was added to mission. Please provide further details.

Another question: 21950 is quite old - we have xml saving since rev 225xx - did you encounter that problem after that again?

Hi, if my memory did not fail me here's wat happened.

Initially, i saved, knowing that a mission appears every so mani days.

Then this ufo appear, and i shot it down. Did not saved yet and sent my soldiers, encountered error.

Reload. Kept reloading a few times until this similar ufo mission appears (this is the save i provided) and it crash when entering.

Then i tried to shoot down, save, and send bird, still crash....

Basically i tried reloading alot of times to generate at least 3 times this error, all which crashes when entering mission. (PS: If i do not intercept that UFO, indeed, it heads straight for my HQ.)

if i remember correctly geever fixed a bug with (null) string in the gui

@geever : if this is the case please close this item

That fix was not about "Objective" string (part) but the whole buffer.
I cannot reproduce the bug with the latest, so close it.
