[http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/bugs/2148 Item 2148] imported from sourceforge.net tracker on 2013-01-28 19:22:20

When you try to load a mission and it fails to load (regardless of the reason) you return back to Geospace (or the menu if its a skirmish). No problem so far.

When you try to load another mission you end up with a black screen. The game isn't locked, you can pull down the debug console like normal. It doesn't matter if the second map is broken or not. It doesn't matter if you try to play a completely new campaign. To fix it you must unload the game (quit it completely) and restart it.

I think the game doesn't properly "unload" the mission when it fails to properly load. Basically since I do not complete the mission, game thinks its already in progress while trying to load another.

This makes it difficult to "test" the game as it requires me to "unload" and "reload" the game while testing a series of maps. Most of the time "testing" ends up going to me waiting the game to load on the computer.

The system is XP Pro SP3 by the way... Not sure if the problem exists in other versions...

Pretty sure I have the same problem with the black screen when attempting to start a mission. Tried different missions several times on new campaigns, and nothing. The console doesn't give any clues, everything just comes to a screeching halt. Same OS, version 2.3.
