Base corruption trouble - 10/18/2012 4:17:02 AM

This thread has the screenshot and some additional data, but basically after running a turn I have a unit fragment "in front" of Singapore in the map view.

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3198390

I ran this both under r6 and under the official r9 patch (see, I can be trained!) and it happens for both. I ran it under the current public beta and it doesn't happen on that version, but I'm reluctant to move a long-running game to a beta.

Here's the save, are there any good options?

Alternately, is this only a cosmetic issue? If I can still get to Singers via the base screen, in theory I could live with that but if something's corrupted I'm worried that it might go kablooey at some point.

The current beta would fix this issue automatically.
Fragment of I./124th Infantry not a LCU - disbanded

Any idea what risk we are running if we keep going on the official patch with this problem? If it's just an annoyance, I can live with it until the next patch comes out that will fix this. But if the database might get further corrupted and really screw things up, that would be a problem.

It tends to corrupt just the LCU unit. However, the unit generally can't be accessed as a ground unit.
It is random. You may not get it again.
