Warzone 2100 Crashes on mission Beta 7

[k4ever]

I need help bad with Warzone 2100 version 2.0.6 on Linux and Windows XP.  I started playing the game religiously.  I made it to mission Beta 7 and now Warzone 2100 is crashing every time after the initial briefing is over.  I can't play the game beyond Beta 6.  I tried to post the entire output from the log file, but it exceeds the character limit set for posts on this site.  Here is the last few lines of output:

PLEASE HELP!!

Please zip and attach the savegame.
~/.warzone2100/savegame/ contains a folder and at least one file with the name of your game. We need all of them.

Thanks for your reply.  I attached the save game file, the folder associated with it, and the log file.

Random info:

There seem to be no MB2_DI_MSG in asResearch[]. Actually I couldn't find anything but RES_* names in it.
Maybe psMsg->type is wrong? Perhaps it should be MSG_CAMPAIGN instead?

I see my topic has been moved to bug-reporting.  Does this mean I won't be playing for a while?

This means that you're bug has been reported and the developers will do their best to solve it. Placing it here doesn't mean it's something like a BIG problem now. It's just to keep the forum nicely organized so other people with the same problem as you re having can easily find this topic. Don't worry

I don't know what you will be doing, but I/we will try to fix this bug.

The attached savegame should bring you beyond the crash.

Some more info (I don't know if this unusual, though):

error:      Couldn't find msg MB2_DI_MSG2 in researchs!
last message repeated 2 times
last message repeated 2 times (total 4 repeats)
[...]

The message seems to get send over and over again till I close the inteligence screen.

However, if I am beyond the point where it crashes, go back to the intscreen, view the "current objective" again and thus get the cutscene again, everything works and I even get a text in the intscreen which follows.

:)Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!  It seems to work fine!

This is not really fixed, but a workaround will be in 2.0.7.
