Mass Effect 2 planetary scanning crash/bug

From time to time when i go to scan a planet it will lock up and the esc key will not back me out. Is there a work-around or a fix to this cause otherwise im stuck restarting the game.

    I Know this is a few years behind, but some of us are still playing this game for the first time.  I did run into the Planet Side Scan bug where it would not allow you to hit ESC to back out of scanning (on PC). However, end the application will pretty much work but will end up making you start over. 

    There is a solution that is more of a work around than a solution, since I do not develop or modify code for this game. The solution that seems to be working is when you do go to planet side to scan for the first time, scan once, launch the probe, and then hit ESC. This will, or should, back you out of scan mode. Then you can continue to go scan, and it should work. Occasionally hit ESC to back out.

You've got to be joking. Is this a gag for you guys? I mean I subscribe to Humble Bundle and got the game from there, I surely don't trust EA because they don't give a damn about their players, but you say maybe repair the game? Check around the 'net. There are so many who STILL have this problem and it hasn't been addressed. Classic EA.

Wasted over an hour of my time so far going back to saves dealing with this * because the only way to get back into the game is to end the process.

    Have either of the players reporting the problem in this thread actually used the "Repair" option as was suggested?
