Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
After playing more than two in game years, I realized I couldn't start ambushes anymore, or even attempt to take rackets. I started checking to see what could cause the issue and it seems like one of the bosses its getting and infinite amount of money. It increases every microsecond, they went from being one of the poorest, with only one racket left to their name, to being the richest in game with over 80 millions and counting. Almost forgot to mention that they appear to be the only boss I can't interact with on the diplomacy window.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
I have no idea. This is my 4th play through and its the first time I noticed this happened. Also there seems to be when the switch controller disconnects, it doesn't notify you the game just freezes.

How much "pain" is this causing you?

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?

Haha I wish I knew! I started upgrading rackets, right after Los Hijos called for a truce and offered me 2000 barrels to get it done, so Im guessing they started stealing those barrels on the daily because I never received them. Have you gotten the glitch where your hotels auto destroy no matter what? I forgot to mention that, maybe they are selling the boose and selling the hotels for everyone not sure yet. Why so much ? xD I dont think the game allowed me to ever get that far without breaking, sadly.

This has happened to me twice in my current (40+ hour) playthrough on PC. First it happened with Dean O'Banion, and most recently with Frankie Donovan. As soon as their money starts skyrocketing into the millions, I can't engage in any combat or accomplish anything in game. I have loaded back to auto saves from 4 to 5 hours prior in order to try to circumvent the problem, but it's definitely a game-breaking bug. On top of this issue, I also cannot start the quest One For Me, Brew For You without having all of my breweries permanently shut down. Verifying integrity of the game cache has not helped as far as I can tell either.

It's unfortunate because I can tell this game has all the potential to be great one day, but as of now it's hardly playable with the bugs, soft locks, game crashes, and save file corruption issues.

Yeah, this game has a future. I like this game, although now it is a bit too easy, and lack of complexities; like hiring a paid-killer or setting an ambush during sitdowns. (Not saying I only have 3 gangsters with me, since the start of the game and i killed everyone with those basic crewmembers).

As the game is still new, and updates being released quite often, I would say we can rest assured the dev team is doing their best.
