Summary​

Police Coordination - Hidden authority defecit causing opposition interest group opinion penalty

Description​

When using the authority bonus from the Police Coordination mandate, your authority is increased. However, there is a bug meaning that opposition interest groups are treating it as if you don't have that extra authority and are getting angry about a lack of authority.

Steps to reproduce​

1. Have a police institution (I have dedicated, but I assume the bug applies for other ones.)
2. Be in a power block with the Police Coordination mandate providing authority.
3. Spend the extra authority granted.
4. Hover over the interest group opinion and view, for example,

Confirming the same bug

also getting this. it seems to be all authority related effects too, such as enactment time. it's a shame, the principle would be an interesting niche pick if the authority gain was real.

Can also confirm this.

Woah so this is why I saw this. Was wondering how I had an authority deficit when I was in the green. Apparently due to this bug! We cant have another fix soon enough. So many things stopping me to play. Upvoted and thank you for reporting!

Just writing in to confirm that this bug still exists as of 1.8.2. 1.8 seems to have introduced a multiplier to the "political dysfunction" malus that I don't understand yet, but in any case if you dare to spend the extra authority that Police Coordination gives you you're still punished for it sadly.

Just to confirm that this bug is still present. Feels like it'd be relatively easy to fix if someone could take note of it.

I have the same bug.

Currently experiencing the same bug, it's incredibly frustrating, especially if you're playing a liberal nation which gets very little authority from other sources.
