Crush in alien dimension, when game can not find vehicle - No vehicle matching ID "VEHICLE_5468"

[VsevolodVityaz]

Im trying to jump to alien world and when any craft enters it game crushes, becouse it cannt find this vehicle

log.zip

saves.zip

in zip file - SEFCHEG_map - is a save where I`m ready to jump, alien_dim - is a save, where my craft enters alien world. By pressing unpause I recieve a crush.

I did that 3 or 4 game weeks ago - same result, same unfound vehicle, I tryed to jump without soldiers with a probe or any attack craft - same result
I created a clean reinstall - same result.

I found a solution. When you exit alien dimension, game saves the state of fired missiles and beams, targeted on your spaceship. Also it saves who shot that. When you enter alien dimension later, missile is still active, it flies again, but game doesnt see fired vehicle. So game crushes. For fixing you can unpack savegame - it is a zip archive, and find file \gamestate\cities\CITYMAP_ALIEN\projectiles.xml this is an xml file and simply it can be edited as a simple text. there find vehicle_*** and change *** to any vehicle ID on the map. You can find id by pressing "attack hostle vehicle" button , while your ship is not in alien dimension. Game says that you cannt attack vehicle_yyy because bla-bla-bla, but you have this ID - yyy. So put it in that file - change xxx to yyy. Save. Pack archive, load game and continue playing.
Not an excellent solution but it works for me and saved two times gameplay.
Also try to exit alien dimension without fired missiles or beams "in the air".
