Hire mercenary bug on PS5. Game needed to be closed.

[ioticus]

At the end of the first scenario of the starting campaign, I was unable to press X or O to hire one of the two mercenaries or close the hire dialogue pane on the screen. The game was effectively frozen and the only way to fix it was to close the game and reload the previous save. I just started the game and hope I don't encounter any more of these lockups in the future.

I started playing again and am still encountering the bug where the game locks up on the hire units dialogue pane and you use the left and right key pad to select a unit. X and O do not work but the key pad does, forcing you to close the game. R3 to see unit info and the option button do not work either. I’m not sure how to reproduce it other than keep pressing R3 and the left and right key pad and you will eventually hang the game.
