As it says in the title, I've had a game breaking instance of not being able to scan in Ghost Town, I can't finish the Fool on the Hill, and also other side quests like the one (name escapes me) where the doctor asks you to scan a patient.

I'm not seeing much on here about this, so wondering if there is either a workaround people know of (mods?) or if this is actually affecting lots of people like me?
