Description
[http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/bugs/2603 Item 2603] imported from sourceforge.net tracker on 2013-01-28 19:43:45

1. I downloaded the 2.3 SVN trunk exactly as specified in the guide by cutting and pasting the URL into sourceforge. From my command line history:

svn co https://ufoai.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ufoai/ufoai/branches/ufoai_2.3 ufoai_2.3

I noticed no problems compiling the program, and compiled the maps from scratch.

2. My system is an AMD based CPU (sorry, don't remember model, but MOBO is an ASUS A8N32-SLI Delux) with an Nvidia 9800 GT video card. My OS is Fedora 12.

3. Playing with 2 bases staffed and start a new base up. I'm trying to transport a couple experienced soldiers from Base 1 to the new Base 3. When I unload them from my aircraft, go the Transfer screen and select the soldiers to transfer, it lets me do it and I see the number of soldiers decrease by 2 on the employee screen, and the total number of employees drops by 2. I get an a message on the Geoscape that the transfer started.

Base 1 has two living quarters, 9 soldiers, 3 pilots, 10 workers, and 18 scientists.
Base 3 has no employees and one living quarter.

However, those soldiers never show up at the new base. If I try to hire any new employees in Base 1, I get a message that my base is full on living quarters, even though it clearly says 38/40 employees on the Employee screen. When I try to run a mission with my team from Base 2 (that's just where I noticed the problem), I get an error message:

********************
ERROR: Game Error: Could not find character on team 1 with unique character number 1603
********************
Shutdown server: Server crashed.

And then it crashes.

Fyi, I was able to transfer two employees from Base 2 to Base 3, which only had one living quarter and about 18 employees, so it may have something to do with two living quarters or possibly something that triggered when I hit max employees, though I did try firing a few and trying again with the same results.

Above describes the slot 1 save game.

EDIT: I posted the above on the forum. Since then I got a similar crash about not being able to find a different character. I did transfer characters between base 2 and 3, which appeared to work ok as I said above, however, after a day or two of playing, and I'm pretty sure I ran a mission or two with Team B since transfering... but anywah, I just tried a terror mission and that's where the system crashes again. Both times I crashed it was when trying to do a terror mission. Other missions may have worked ok, but I still lost those first two characters and I was never able to hire new employees in Base 1.
