255 vote bug

[TheSquirrelofHuscurl]

This bug is completely game breaking and has ruined countless matches for me while playing the Campaign mode.
What is this bug? Sometimes, and for no discernable reason that I can come up with, the game things 255 people have voted for the Defend option. It clearly shows "255" next to the defend vote icon. This seems to only display if nobody has voted for defend. If people start to vote for defend, first it will subtract one vote and display "254" and if another person votes it sets itself to "0" and then the counter works normally. If these people swap their votes, this happens in reverse back up to "255".

This exact same bug occurs, more importantly, for the map voting screen. I have had games where, playing as the US, we vote for Pleiku but due to this 255 vote bug the sector Quang Tri is selected.....
Even though we already own Quang Tri and can't even vote for it to undo this crappy bug. I have had many matches thrown into the wind because of this stupid bug, defending when we should be attacking, fighting over Quang Tri whenever everyone wanted to go for a completely different map... it's broken.

This is a screenshot of our team, the South Vietnam team, attacking Quang Tri. We actually activated S&D because I couldn't inform my team that if we do activate S&D and we lose, this means we will lose control of the province. I couldn't warn my team because my game completely bugged out and wouldn't let me send messages or even use the space bar in chat.

This bug, as far as I have been able to tell, has been occuring since the introduction of multiplayer campaign and needs to be fixed immediately. It's incredibly difficult to enjoy a match when you know that you shouldn't even be fighting it, you didn't want to fight it and your team didn't even vote to fight it... In some cases, they didn't even vote to fight over the sector.

Nothing been fixed yet. Still gets the 255 vote bug. Made us lose alot of progress on the campaign.

It's an underflow error. They somehow make the item have -1 vote, which underflows to 255. If you see 255 votes and vote for it, it will overflow back to 0.
This is why CS should be taught more often.

A bit of a necro but I haven't seen this issue at all recently, so I'm presuming it's been fixed. It seems the devs learned CS in the time since the post was originally made.
