Every single released prisoner being given "Ex-Gang Member" reputation

[Yumakooma]

Hi.

I am reporting a bug that seemingly affects the game only when 2 DLCs combine, Second Chances and Gangs. I will outline the circumstances to recreate the bug in my experience.

• Have both DLCs mentioned above
• Make sure that the option to have gangs is turned on in your prison. In all my tests I had the setting on "low" so I cannot say for sure this bug affects all settings (I doubt it affects legacy, but would suspect it affects medium and high), but it affects low for sure.
• Simply wait for some people to be paroled, if any re-offend they will return with the "Ex-Gang Member" reputation.
• Delving deeper, if you look into the save file and search for "ExGangMember" using a text editor, you will be able to see that the reputation of Ex-Gang Member is actually automatically being given to every prisoner who gets released!

To verify this in my own eyes I removed all mods from my mod folder entirely and then proceeded to download a very nice map from the workshop, made by Prison Architects' very own EnigmaticRose no less(!). I activated the gang option in map settings, setting it to low. I upped the parole release chance to 98% to force all prisoners to get released for the purpose of speeding up testing. Then I waited, and some prisoners got released. When I went into the save file I could clearly see those who just got released were given the Ex-Gang member reputation.

I can also see that all prisoners released before activated gangs were not being applied with this reputation. Only ones released after I activated gang mode get the reputation in the save file... meaning if any re-offend and are sent back, they'll 100% be ex-gang members.

I have attached the save file I mentioned. If whoever tests it just waits for the active parole sessions to end, saves the game, and views the save file, they should see the prisoners who pass parole being marked as Ex-Gang Members in the save file using a text editor. Let me know if it can't be recreated, that would be baffling and I'd look dumb....

Thank you, and sorry for such a wordy bug report. I wanted to clearly state things to increase the chances of getting support

We'll take a look at this, thank you.
