Can't Load Saved "Random" Games

[Hammerhead]

0ad 15 (Ubuntu 13) - I can save and load "Skirmish" and "Scenario" games, but after I save a "Random" game, it won't load.

I get a deserialization failed error. In the error window it states: "Failed to load saved game state. It might have been saved with an incompatible version of the game."

The error text on the left of the screen states either "Deserialize_OutOfBounds" or "Deserialize_ReadFailed"

I uninstalled 0ad 15 and reinstalled, but I get the same error.

Thanks for a great game!

I'm getting the same issue in SVN. Thanks for the report.

I'm investigating a bit, and it looks like random maps somehow invalidate the size of the m_EntityData used in the RangeManager. Strangely enough, the count stored in the EntityMap m_Count is lower than the actual number of entities.

This difference causes the serialisation and deserialisation loops to have a different number of iterations, thus crashing the deserialisation that happens after the m_EntityMap deserialisation.

It should be solvable by just counting the number of items, and not relying on m_Count. Though that would be an extra loop. I first want to find out where the invalidation happens.
