So, the problems I was having earlier were on the .7 version, and people were talking about bugfixes, so I figured I would download a fresh copy of the .72 update, run through without any mods or cheats or anything, carefully sidestepped the batsignal trap and kept going to the office until I got the right cutscene, worked through the biker questchain until I got to the part where I need to stop eight crimes to lure the boss out... and got frozen forever on the fame levelup screen again.
The first time I went out after getting the quest to this stage, when I was barely rank 2, it worked how I assume it's intended to, leaving me at about 1 point short of advancing to rank three because I haven't met the story prerequisite, but I hadn't found enough bikers that night so I went out again, and at the end of that night all my fame exp going over the cap for the top of rank 2 apparently broke the game irreparably. It's literally impossible to proceed. I can waste another half hour of time by going back to the save before I went on that patrol, but the same thing happens at the end of the night. The current version of the game seems to be unplayable unless you're already past the biker boss.
Unless somebody has like, a cheatengine table to artificially reduce my fame exp or something?
