Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
My ShadowHawk SHD-2D was shot by about 10 of the inferno missiles from inferno carriers in the second battle of the Protype series. It had not completely overheated and I was given a turn, where I immediately activated the Coolant Vent ability, then I jumped away. The flashing part of my heat bar indicated below overheat, but the game just froze. Obviously the game is waiting for me to "brace" since that's the only action I have available, but I don't have the option to brace or do anything. The entire bottom action bar is blacked out, so the game waits eternally for me to make an action that is impossible for me to do.
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue
1. Start the Protype II mission
2. Have a ShadowHawk SHD-2D
3. Get shot by both Inferno carriers
4. Activate coolant vent
5. Jump away
6. Watch the game freeze
Sorry, there is no save game, since the game froze, and DxDiag was a very popular file, with some 25 versions of it on my windows 10 during the search. I had no idea which one you wanted. Best of luck!

No clues to the problem in that outlog I'm afraid.

Dxdiag.txt is a file you made on demand, rather then sending any old ones you might have lying around. thanks!

Thanks for checking. This is honestly a much smaller problem than the reset of the combat system when you're in the middle of a fight (convoy escort) and the convoy escapes in the jump ship. The enemy gets two turns while I just stand there. I guess I would rather whatever limited bug fix time remains on this game to go to that scenario, since it's such a pain. It also appears to be common knowledge that the bug exists.

I have the same issue. Just had an Enforcer get shot by some infernos. I jumped away, then coolant vented. Apparently this unit's turn isn't over, but the only options are to fire weapons and there are no valid targets in range/los. I can't brace to end the turn -- so while I can move and pan the camera, I cannot advance the game anymore. I'm playing ironman, with all 3 dlc and no mods. Clicking on brace and the "minus" key shortcut for "end turn" both give a sound indicating the selection isn't possible.

I suspect the problem is that jumping and coolant vent together disable brace or something.

Will see if I can't find a save after I'm forced to end the process because I literally have a disabled quit menu because "actions are still being taken".
