Chapter 7 where you have to launch the asteroid after releasing the tethers and planting the SOS beacon.

Planted the distress beacon and destroyed the tethers but objective showed as return the tram. Went to the tram but it says "Launch asteroid" so I returned to the control room and pressed the control screen to launch the asteroid. Screen shows that the asteroid has been launched, however the asteroid physically does not move. Mission marker then says "Return to tram" which I did so. When I reach the tram it says "Launch asteroid" and then continuously points towards the screen in the control room and objective remains "Launch Asteroid." As it stands, cannot progress the story.

Tried loading previous auto saves and launched asteroid before returning to tram (even though objective states "Return to tram" but unfortunately it has the same outcome. Tried repairing and reinstalling the game and even tried on another PC and using a cloud save. None of these work. Screen shot shows the control screen without asteroid, but as you can clearly see, asteroid remains in the bay.

Anyone else having this bug?

Please help me! I don't want to have to start all over again!
