Bug #9508
Impending Impact scenario won't load
100%
Description
When I try to load the Impending Impact scenario, I get an empty scene with no objects other than the HUD, the sun, and the starry background. Pressing ESC does nothing and I have to alt-tab out and close the game.
This bug exists in both the x86 and x64 version.

Hi furrykef, the issue is not occurring for me, it is likely you have a corrupted download.
Please verify your cache and try again.

Verifying the cache didn't change anything, but after that, I found that clicking the scenario's Reset button fixed the issue. I'd played this scenario before some months ago, which is no doubt why this issue happened.
However, the program still never should have gotten into the state it was in, where I had no way to go back to the menu or even close the game without alt-tabbing out or pressing ctrl-alt-delete.
It seems this issue can be replicated by letting the ship crash (killing Jeb), quitting to main menu, then continuing the scenario. The screen looks different from before, but the behavior is otherwise the same.

Indeed I can, I'm afraid.
