Fails to load a savegame on level 7 - Heart Attack
I just played the singleplayer campaign level Heart Attack yesterday and was around 1 hour into the game when I saved it and quit the game.
Today when I tried to load up the level to continue playing I got an error stating "Object reference not set to an instance for an object".
I have collected as much information as I can:
Windows 10 Enterprise x64
8GB RAM
i7-3770K
2x GTX 970 (running in SLI configuration)
Game build: 1.3.1f5
Included: Crash report, output log and some screenshots.
After the error message when loading the game ( Error when loading game), I'm returned to the main screen which now lack some background graphics. See screenshot: Screenshot
Thanks in advance!

Hello Dark,
first of all thank you for this excellent bug report.
It contains all information one could wish to track down a problem.
This is not self-evident nowadays :)
I have loaded your save game and got the exact same behaviour.
The warning popup is there to prevent the game from crashing when something went utterly wrong.
As far I could figure you saved your game with something in your hand which died/was destroyed before you saved.
While this case can happen under rare circumstances, it is handled correctly while just playing the game.
But the deserialization routine was not able to handle data stored in this odd state and was thus trying to access a null reference.
We have now fixed that such cases can cause issues with save games.
A patch removing the issue should come in a couple of days.
However I was able to "repair" your save game.
After fixing the issue locally i quickly dropped what you had in your hand and saved again, so that this issue is circumvented.
Simply put it into the folder where you took the other save games, then quit+restart steam
and you should find it in load menu "Campaign" under "Dark 7 fixed loading issue".
Here are the files:

Cheers and Thank you for reporting :)
