Detailed steps taken:

  1. Press ESC button to bring up the pause menu
  2. Select quicksave
  3. Immediately press ESC again

Result: stuck in pause status ; able to navigate the weapons menu with number keys, but unable to move in game nor bring up the pause menu again;

Just experienced this on accident when spamming the esc key after clicking quick save. Fortunately the game saved, but needed to kill the process and restart.

Until this is fixed, you can just press the “Pause” button at the top right of your keyboard to resume. I’ve noticed pressing ESC again will Pause the game instead of bringing up the menu though, so no settings or anything. Just a temporary fix so you don’t have to restart the game.
