Summary0019326: Game Lobby: Crash doing faction updating
DescriptionI was messing with the options in the Faction screen. I was trying some weird/random things, like making everything the same colour, and I hit a crash.

I added some debugging code
            private bool Helper_GetShouldExclude(SpecialFactionData row, FactionType requiredFactionType, SpecialFactionData currentFactionData)
            {
                if( row == null)
                    ArcenDebugging.ArcenDebugLogSingleLine("BUG: helper_getshouldexclude was given null row", Verbosity.DoNotShow );
                if(requiredFactionType == null)
                    ArcenDebugging.ArcenDebugLogSingleLine("BUG: helper_getshouldexclude was given null factionType", Verbosity.DoNotShow );
                if(currentFactionData == null)
                    ArcenDebugging.ArcenDebugLogSingleLine("BUG: helper_getshouldexclude was given null currentFactinoData", Verbosity.DoNotShow );

and now I see a bunch of errors like
12/29/2017 11:09:43 AM BUG: helper_getshouldexclude was given null currentFactinoData
this doesn't always lead to a crash because we have a number of exits from this function before we access currentFactionData.

I hit this again on .703 (pre-push beta)

I was trying to enable all the factions quickly. I was clicking on random Faction dropdown bars out of order, then enabling them.

I am bumping this up to number 5 on the Trello card list based on today's crash report.

For 0.706:

* Added protections against null exceptions when changing lobby faction settings rapidly.

It should translate those nulls into non-crashing behavior, but it will log them visually (so it's an error message in the corner, not a screen-covering one) so we can hear about them and find out why whatever it was is null.

On a side note, "currentFactionData" being null is perfectly valid and doesn't cause an exception because it's only used for equality testing and is never dereferenced.

Thanks :)
