Im the third one,
Same thing happening to me. Was gathering using gamepad(both botanist or mining) and everytime i open my menu, it closed m gathering window. Unable to do anything except for chatting. I waited for 10 minutes but still stucked and have to logout to fix the problem. Im using pc version and was wondering if ps3 version has this problem.
Ps: i still can open my menu screen while stucked, but cant choose logout option so i need to press alt f4
