"null" in developers/programmer-speak means nothing, zilch, nada, niente, empty. Somehow the code of the game can't come up with propper base name, and returns this value because of lack of a better response. Or appearantly sometimes a random index for text that is listed in SH3gamefolder\Data\Menu\en_menu.txt

Or a not so random index: index 0 is really empty, and index 1 means "GO TO GAME". Either way, the game made a booboo. Obviously a sign there are still bugs in SH3 to be found. However, Ubisoft won't be fixing it. So if it doesn't crash, be gratefull.
