Ships occasionally stuck in hyperspace

I have a bug where some of my ships get stuck in hyperspace and just jitter back and forth without actually moving along their intended path. They are using fuel, so they eventually stop and are stranded in the middle of nowhere. This has happened several times with several ship types (noticed with colony ships and fuel tankers so far). Occurs with both automated and manually controlled ships. Persisted after reinstall of game. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this bug and alerting devs because it makes the game rather unplayable.
DW2 Version 1.0.2.2 on steam
Windows 10 Pro 21H2
64GB ram
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
NVIDIA Geforce 3090
Thanks!

This will happen if they move across or very near to a nebula as it disables the hyperdrive and possibly the engines if not enough ion protection etc, If it's just happening in random space with no nebula then no never happened to me.
What did happen though is that late game ships will lag to the point where it looks like they are not even moving, this still happens in current patch so basically late game still unplayable.

Then the Fuel tanker on auto will try to refuel them, and get stuck too!

I had a similar issue, though it may be different/unrelated.
Several ships had hyperspace speed showing, but were not actually moving (nothing to do with a nebula).
I noticed that my page file had filled up and the windows event view had a Resource Exhaused warning.
This even stopped me from saving the current game.
I closed DW2, re-opened it, loaded the most recent auto-save, and carried on perfectly fine.
