📋 About This Mod

This is another simple bug fix mod. Currently I only know about two bugs in the hacking system. If you know about any others that I could fix, let me know in the comments!

1) Memory Wipe

This quickhack is supposed to (according to its description in-game) take enemies out of the combat state and prevent them from entering the combat state. Currently it only takes enemies out of combat. The mod makes it so that they also can't enter the combat state while the hack is active, so you can attack them while remaining undetected.

2) ICEpick Daemon

The bug is that ICEpick level 1 daemon (when neither of Total Recall or Totaler Recall are active) reduces cost by 2 instead of 1. If you have exactly one of Total Recall or Totaler Recall perks the reduction is still 2 (as it should be), meaning you get no benefit from taking just one of those perks.

The text for ICEpick in the Breach screen is correct for all 3 levels (1 at level 1, 2 at level 2, 3 at level 3), it's just that at both level 1 and 2 you get a reduction of  2, when it should be 1 and 2, respectively.

This mod corrects the level 1 reduction to 1.

Here's a video I made showing the bug when I reported this to CDPR a long time ago:

This fix is already included in Lifepath Bonuses and Gang/Corp Traits, but you can have both mods installed fine.

3) Cyberware Malfunction Spread

This hack is supposed to spread at Rare and Epic qualities, but it doesn't. Looks like a copy/paste error CDPR made while creating it. The mod makes it spread normally. Note that it will only spread to enemies that have cyberware abilities (i.e. the same enemies you are able to use the hack on).
