Describe the issue

Starting a headless instance without passing any other arguments, then running a console command inside the headless instance to save the park, saves a glitched park without any objects selected which will crash the game when opening the park information window, opening the guest information window, or hiring any staff.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start OpenRCT2 with openrct2 --headless without passing any other arguments.
2. Save the park and exit by running this command: console.executeLegacy("save_park 25904_test"); console.executeLegacy("exit")
3. Open OpenRCT2 again normally.
4. Find 25904_test.park and load it.

The glitched empty park in question: 25904_test.zip

Start by reproducing the issue with openrct2 --headless, the provided console.executeLegacy save-and-exit command, and the attached 25904_test.park. Inspect the headless startup and park-saving path to determine why no objects are selected; done means the saved park loads normally and the listed park, guest, and staff actions no longer crash.
