Stuck convo, can't save. Any ideas? - Probably fixed in 2.20 beta

I have a conversation stuck on the screen:

The image in the bottom right is frozen, everything else works fine. I've tried directing units so they'll come back with "awaiting orders" to no avail. Teleporting hasn't helped either.

I can't save either, the option is greyed out (as it normally is during a conversation).

Anyone run into this and know a way out? Just gonna leave X4 running a while...

I've had it happen way too many times..since 2.0 came out it tends to fix itself more often than pre-2.0 by teleporting to a station, but sometimes I just have to load a previous save...even tried ordering the ship I'm on to fly through gates and dock at stations to maybe "dislodge" it or even trigger an autosave, but it doesn't seem to autosave while stuck like that so I just ended up loading the last save..

Thanks for the feedback. I gave up and ALT-F4'd.

I've had it get stuck before but can usually get out by some other action clearing the screen. This time, though, even contacting the very same manager on the station didn't help.

Lesson learned, F5 a lot more often (thought I'd learned this by now but clearly not).

Oh well, will make it up tomorrow...

This problem should hopefully be fixed in 2.20. From the 2.20 Beta release notes:

• Fixed neverending conversations with NPCs via the monitor.

Thanks. CBJ. I backed out the beta when 2.0 launched officially. Should probably hop back in so this kinda feedback can get better tracked by devs

Keep up the good work!
