That means the problem is known and fixed in the codebase (SVN). The fix will be included in 2.3.1.
You can also download the source an compile a fresh 2.3 build for yourself.

Your savegame corrupted, yes, sorry.

To avoid this happening again (as a workaround), do automission or skip missions which loads a baseattack map and not baseattacks themselves. Don't rely on quicksave in this, it's autosaved when entering a battle, it may save corruped quicksave too.

I have the same problem. Where i can find the source, that i need. At Sourceforge i found only Ufo.Ai 2.3 from June 2010, that was the same i have.

You need to compile the source for it.

Such savegames are usually corrupted. However branch 2.3 has a feature (well, it is a hack actually) that can fix them. So 2.3.1 will be able to fix the corrupted saves.

The 2.4-dev does not have that hack and won't have ever.

If you're doing a git clone it's some 1.6 GB.
