Game Version
1.05.0.43928

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
After Unassigning 2 lieutenants from 2 safehouses, they are stuck in a looping sitting animation. Trying to start an attack on a building and trying to start an ambush to impossible. Unable to progress in game.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
1. I establish a safehouse in a new neighborhood, the game asks you to assign a lieutenant.
2. I pause the game and look inside the safehouse and unassign the lieutenant before the sitting animation finishes,
3. Character is stuck in a looping sitting down animation, but can still glide across the ground.

See attached videos

The issue may also have been caused by me unassigning 2 lieutenants in different neighborhoods within a minute of each other.

For clarity, the time I took between assigning the lieutenant and unassigning the lieutenant was about 40 minutes while I was doing other things in the game. When I clicked "Look inside" of the safehouse, I assume the area with the lieutenant hadn't loaded before and I unassigned them too fast. However, I have unassigned lieutenants before they finished sitting down previously with no issue.

How much "pain" is this causing you?
10

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I've attached 2 videos and screenshots as well as my "Player.log", "Player-prev.log", and "LoadReport.txt".
I would like to attach my save files, but I am still waiting on info of where they are in another bug report.

I've tried making the characters travel by taxi and tried restarting the game in hopes of fixing the issue to with no luck.

-Trying to start an attack on a derelict building only causes the empty inside of the building to be shown and no combat starts. Characters remain outside on the street.
-Pressing the hotkey to start an ambush has no effect.
