[Official 1.5 Update) Game Crashes at Boarding Stage 2 - May be fixed in 1.51 beta 1

[ApoxNM]

Greetings fellow boarders,

I have stumbled upon this thread (after trying numerous quickloads to handle it) and are happy to see I am not the only one. So how do I get access to 1.51 Beta or is it closed ? My steam does not show available betas for X4.

The hint with the destroyed towers and aswell the porting out of system did not help

Beta info: viewtopic.php?f=192&t=405397

I was stuck as well, the beta made it work, but I wanted to stay non-beta. I did find a way to successfully board though. Not all these steps may be needed, but what I did was.
Target was completely disabled with every subcomponent destroyed
I killed every single laser tower that it deployed
I teleported out of system
Teleported back in and double checked laser towers, subcomponents and brought hull down to 10% and target crew was 1
Teleported out again
From the map, selected the wing leader and right clicked the target and I was able to issue the board command remotely
Waited until boarding completed
(Here it froze again if I went back straight away)
Had my 2 x S troop transports and S crew transport land on the target
Transferred marines to troop transports and service crew to target
Did some other stuff for a new minutes
Teleported to target and assigned captain

That's way too much work. You just have to get out of visual sight. No need to teleport out of sector.

Is there an update to this? I am not able to board ships. I can start the boarding process stage 1. Destroy ship modules and depleat the hull. Once Stage 2 starts the game freezes forcing me to end the X4 task. I'm Running vanilla unmodified v1.50. I successfully completed many boardings prior to v1.50

I've tried boarding for several different save points.
I've tried various vsync settings including with and without vsync and Gsync
I've tried all the grephics profiles from low graphic quality to the highest settings
I've tried Windowed vs Full screen etc.
I even tried OOS boarding and although the Pods launched on Stage to the ship was destroyed before the boarding process finishes.
Today I started the boarding process, Teleported out waited for hte pods to land then teleported back to the sector. The second I hit the sector the game froze.

@ jtylerh71: have you tried the beta version (was 1.51 and now called 1.60 which is at beta 3 now) as perhaps indicated in the current thread title?
