I have the same issue, except that this is my only save game (iron man like playthrough), an autogenerated sector enter save 😞 Now I cannot continue my campaign since the patch yesterday because I'm stuck in tactical view and:
Sat View is greyed out
my mercs are not visible
time is running, i.e. not in deployment phase anymore, which I should be with a sector enter save
my not-really-there mercs can attack enemies but combat phase does not start
my not-really-there mercs cannot interact with the "retreat to X12" objects
I dunno how to attach a save game file here, but I will happily provide it.
