Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Occasional issue over last several days has become 100% repro on a specific save. I have 3 orbital landers on an asteroid mining exotic minerals. When they take off the game hard locks. All systems cease functioning except camera panning (note camera zoom and rotation also stop, only panning works) The game will not take close commands and must be terminated via command line or task manager at that point.

Can you replicate the issue?
Load save file ConsistentCrashPresent, ensure all 3 orbiters are set to return to earth when ready, adjust exotic minerals request on "Diamond" orbital lander as needed (should be 73 exotic it can load). Wait for launch sequence on any game speed and any map view.

I have managed to get around the consistent hard lock, and the method suggests the cause.

If you load the save, take the two orbiters that are not already in the process of launching, and remove ALL drones from their requested payload, the game will no longer hardlock. The droids will be stranded on the asteroid; but the rockets will launch, return, and land successfully without the game locking up.
