Steps To Reproduce
  1. Have a joystick / peripheral that is being picked up by the Game Master mode (you can usually tell when it does because the camera controls via the mouse get interrupted as if something is trying to take over control).
  1. Place an AI infantry unit (single soldier or squad) in Game Master mode, which then results in the game freezing.
  1. Unplug the joysticks in question and start Game Master mode again.
  1. Place an AI infantry unit (single soldier or squad) and the game does not freeze.

In my case the three peripherals that cause this issue are:

Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Joystick
Virpil VPC Throttle MT-50CM2
Saitek Pro Flight Yoke

Same issue here, really annoying.

Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Throttle and Stick
Virpil VPC WarBRD Base
MFG Crosswind Rudder pedals
TrackIR

Same issue here. Rotating the camera and placing units is basically impossible in Game Master. This is a clear issue caused by this rubbish idea of console support. The game clearly cannot distinguish between flight simulator peripherals and a console gamepad.

Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS Throttle and Stick
Logitech G Saitek PRO Flight Rudder Pedals

Same issue here. Reforger is not really useable in this state.

Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS Throttle and Stick
TrackIR 5
Logitech G940 (Stick, Throttle, Pedals)
CH Pro Pedals
Thrustmaster MFDs x 2

Joysticks are unbound since 0.9.5.101
This should not be an issue anymore
