:white_check_mark: ISSUE DESCRIPTION

  1. Description of the issue: On begining the mission it is advertised you will get around 600k in XP. Once completing the mission with no degrading remarks, you get what it first says is Infinite XP then Says Nan then adds in the bad weather bonus and no skip bonus coming out to around 200k XP.

Second the Reputation, Once finishing this mission you get negative rep. I have completed this mission twice, first time i thought it was a fluke because my game crashed right before the rep screen but the seconded time it takes away rep all they way back to 1/4 way through C rep. When i first did it i went from 3/4 way through A to 1/4 way through C.

So i have lost rep twice now because of it.

I do not see any issues with payout however.

Same here. Did tornado mission. Got payout, however lost rep. Went from 5% away from being A class… To only half way through C class. Essentially negative rep after getting an A score for the mission.

I had this exact same problem. Here is the shot of the experience bugging out.

And the shot of losing reputation. I was around 50% into A and lose almost all of B.

Further bugs with this mission. The “limited time” shows as 0 minutes always. Also, the mission does not go away when you finish it like the other yellow diamonds. Normally, these missions unlock missions across the world once you finish.

The brutal punishments in this game combined with bugs is absolutely killing the game. They need to disable punishments until they can fix all the critical bugs like random plane crashes and stuff like this.

Dropping a related post here so they are connected.

The same thing has dared me TWICE.
The first time the game crashed, the second time it didn’t fail, but both times it reduced my reputation from almost A to half a B
I got an S both times

Could this be an issue with any special mission? I just completed Philly to Malaga Charter VIP special mission 7h30 flight, got my 21 million xp, with a mid A reputation and went from a S to a D with no rep at all:

Same here, reproducible.

I love the game, but this makes we want to stop. The lost progress is really painful.

Same issue here, just lost my hard earned rep…

Happens to me too, twice now.

Makes no sense why this happens. Build up reputation just to get access to a special mission and then you lose it immediately when you do one.

The same issue for me.

Same issue for me. Also, after crashing, there are no more scientific missions available.

Moderator Edit:
same for me.

idem pour moi.

No special Mission seems to work

Reputation B before mission, mission finished with rank A, application crashes, after restart reputation drops to C

Same happened to me. Halfway to S-reputation. After this mission reputation was reset to C (one third on the way to B).

For me the game crashed to desktop when returning to HQ. Reputation was lost upon reloading the game and opening career mode.

Happened to me 3 times now, gone from A to C each time, thought I’d try again today after the latest patch and nope, it’s ruined my reputation again and that was with 100% all round in the mission, comes up with some memory error and crashes.

I had the exact same thing happen, and as a few others here stated, I also had a CTD after the mission coming back to HQ. Pretty unpleasant surprise when you find out how much rep you lost!

Had exactly the same thing happen to me on Xbox.

Had same thing happen on Xbox, game ctd’d after return to ha, then when I restarted it immediately reduced my reputation massively.
Also flight doesn’t appear in logbook.
