If you change the order of the Stages

NETReactorSlayer/NETReactorSlayer.Core/Options.cs

Lines 218 to 220 in 0d0a631

	new ControlFlowDeobfuscator(),
	new AntiManipulationPatcher(),
	new MethodInliner(),

to this order (move the MethodInliner before the ControlFlowDeobfuscator):

new MethodInliner(),
new ControlFlowDeobfuscator(),
new AntiManipulationPatcher(),

It is not throwing that error, and dnSpy is not throwing an exception. Also, there are 11824 methods inlined instead of 10596 before and more obfuscator types removed. But I don't know if it breaks other functions. In this particular case, it seems to work.

Output:

  [INFO] 6047 Methods decrypted.
  [WARN] Couldn't find any equation to resolve.
  [WARN] Couldn't find anti tamper method.
  [WARN] Couldn't find anti debugger method.
  [WARN] Couldn't find any proxied call.
  [INFO] 2621 Strings decrypted.
  [WARN] Couldn't find any encrypted resource.
  [INFO] 35 Metadata tokens deobfuscated.
  [INFO] 184 Booleans decrypted.
  [INFO] 774 Calls to obfuscator types removed.
  [INFO] 11824 Methods inlined.

As another try, using the original order of Stages, I also tried to comment out these 2 lines:

NETReactorSlayer/NETReactorSlayer.Core/Stages/ControlFlowDeobfuscator.cs

Line 38 in 0d0a631

SimpleDeobfuscator.Deobfuscate(method);

NETReactorSlayer/NETReactorSlayer.Core/Stages/ControlFlowDeobfuscator.cs

Line 40 in 0d0a631

SimpleDeobfuscator.DeobfuscateBlocks(method);

Seems that these deobfuscations corrupt the IL code if they are run before the MethodInliner Stage.
