Another issue bug

from Stardock Forums
Many of the candidates seem to start out with high scores on issues (that are not reflected in the their profiles), such as McCain -25 on high gas prices, etc.  Then, as soon as you create an ad on that issue (even a newspaper), the candidate's score goes to -5 all over the country.  Similarly, if you create any ad against your opponent on one of these issues where they have unexpectedly high scores, your opponent's score drops all across the country as well.  I gather the initial high scores are on these issues are in error?

Yup, this is fixed. When you give a speech or put out an advertisement there is a modifier (in the source code) that is applied to your issue score. What is happening is that this modifier isn't getting added to the default score so the moment you campaign on an issue the default party values that you inherit are discarded. This is fixed in the upcoming patch.
