FIXED: Arma ignores all input and gets stuck if user dies when previewing mission as crew of autonomous drone
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

OBS:
If the user places an autonomous drone, then plays the mission as the character, then dies, Arma enters a state where it ignores all normal keyboard commands (escape etc). The game continues to run, but the only thing the player can do is change from internal to external view, and enter keyboard cheats. User will need to forcefully close Arma in Windows to escape this state.

EXP:
Basic game behaviours such as being able to pause and open the game menu should never be disabled.
Player should not be able to control the game as crew of autonomous vehicles.

Several times received this phenomenon. There are no actions to exit the stillness. Sometimes you have to restart the PC, can not switch to the Task Manager to complete the process arma3.exe. A similar situation was in Arma2, the reason was killed when the open-view map.
