Galactic Conquest: Equal Footing
Faction: Zahn Consortium
Corruption Method: Kidnapping
Target Planet: Utapau
Result: Failed Load; Black Screen; Ingame Audio Disabled


The mission required Silri to execute and upon initializing the mission, the screen went black as though the loading has been disabled, and the audio was disabled immediately. This result corrupted both the auto save and the savegame that I did at the time of the mission.

Galactic Conquest: Equal Footing
Faction: Zahn Consortium
Corruption Method: Black Market
Target Planet: Nal Hutta
Result: Instant Game Crash

I sent Silri to Nal Hutta and that was fine but when I moved her to the "Buy" slot then the game instantly crashed this time as well.

When I first encountered this bug I thought that this bug might be planet specific, but now with this second instance I believe that the problem may lie within the Black Market corruption framework itself.

Corruption mission don't work well for some reason. Piracy on Mandalore, Bespin. It's weird because I never touched the code and it shouldn't be any different than in the Vanilla game. Whichever bug it is, it might be difficult to find and fix.

Utapau was under control of whichever faction uses the green identifying color.

I used the "Piracy" corruption option on Bespin and Corellia and those missions went fine.

I did find it odd that the first three times I used the "Intimidation" option on Honogr, the mission was instantly completed, but on the fourth time I actually had to complete this mission just like in the vanilla game. Curious.

Yes, that also sometimes happens. I newer figured out why.

I think that the problem is when planets from corruption mission are used by factions other than the rebels and empire as the missions use specific units dešending on it. I'll have to try and add others.

Ok, I'm certain that the problem occurs when you run those missions while the planets are under the new faction control. I have started editing the corruption mission maps so that they allow full gameplay even when under Black Sun and Hutt control, only a few can't be edited because parts of the mission are controlled by Story LUA files that I can't find disassembled and ready to be edited. This might not be a fully fixable bug.
