Temporarily unable to interact with any ship console

[RubyRezal]

Somehow my session got into a gamestate where I was unable to interact with any ship helm or console. I tried teleporting between several different ships but I was unable to take control of any them. The helm and crew stations on L and XL ships were also unresponsive. If aiming at a captain's chair I would get the "Talk" action for the pilot instead of making them get up. L and XL ships' helm and crew stations did nothing. Performing a Quicksave and reloading temporarily clears the problem but this and other interaction failures (like taxi NPCs not talking without a save and reload) have happened frequently in this playthrough. This is a vanilla save and I recently ran a file verification to make sure my gamefiles weren't corrupted.

I don't know how useful the gamesave will be since the problem is temporarily resolved by saving and reloading, but I've attached it below anyway in case it can help at all.
I have no idea what steps to perform to reproduce the problem as it seems to happen randomly.

Gamesave: Quicksave

A temporary workaround to try in-game when you lose the interaction, press F2 then F1 to change the viewpoint and back. This sometimes brings the interaction back. In my experience it usually works for elevators and teleporters, and occasionally with the pilot's chair.

Your debug log is healthy and I have the same 1060 tho I don't have that problem. Do you have a controller connected? If your controller is connected and sending input beyond the dead zone it can steal focus. Have you tried to aim at their chair? Because their head is the one that has the Talk action. It's their chair the one that has the Take Control action.

PS: btw there's a new graphics driver. Perhaps try the clean install mode? I ll check your save when I get home.
