This one is short and sweet but very useful.
If you end up with a bugged ship repair state where a minigame is unselectable, go ahead and board a flagship, any will do, and make sure that no one is doing repairs during boarding animation, or else those who were repairing have bugged the minigame they were on. This is resolvable without boarding a flagship however, simply have anyone who accidentally bugged the repairs to hop onto a repair spot, and select a different minigame other than the one they were on. Doing so will unbug the previous minigame, allowing normal repairs all around.
The first portion is good for resolving bugged repairs due to crashes.
Hope this gets around, Mat-Run friendly tips!

Be aware that folks who were swung over to the ship while on a cannon will most likely be invisible once they hop on a cannon again, Resulting in a Ghost ship ish vibe if everyone is on cannons upon boarding. it's odd running around a moving active ship that has auto cannons of varying accuracy, and obnoxious when trying to find an empty cannon when they all Look empty.

If there's only one game left (the broken one) they can't click it or any others. However, the player who broke the last remaining game can fix it by going to a repair location, opening the window, and simply closing it again. Then they (or anyone else) can open it back up and the broken game will be fixed.

Indeed lad :)
 
While this workaround is nice to know, a nice thing to do would be to suggest ideas on how the devs can fix it.

My suggestion, a timer that would reset the games that hasn't made any progress. Similar to how the timers we see in blackjack and poker work, where exceeding it would autoselect stay or fold, it would reset the status of the game.
 
I was thinking a button on the captain's HUD that kicks everyone off the repairs and resets them. Could have a cooldown to prevent abuse.
