Forces of Corruption Ramfix for Steam

First you need to go to your main Forces of Corruption directory. The default for steam is below.

X:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\star wars empire at war\corruption\

Then go into the DATA folder, then into the XML folder

Now make a new text document, call it anything for now. Paste the text exactly as show below into the text document you just created.
