End Screen "Round Actions" is capped at 65,535 pts. Is it a Developer Error?

While doing a long round of playtime, and the end I found interesting that the maximum XP value for the "Round Actions" is 65,535 pts (check attachments for PoC), otherwise known in Software and Game Development as the Unsigned Integer16 Max Value


Therefore, this limit could be in place by developer error...

Is it intended to be capped to that specific value or did I just found a flaw?

I'm raising this question, because it is the second time that I see that specific value at the End Screen, and as a SDE I immediately recognize it.

    So they capped XP to 16 bits? I guess they don't have the tehc.

    @SrN3MESiS Thanks, I’m down with farming but maybe not quite like that lol. I knew spots were useful but underestimated the bonus from caps. Will have to try and cap more than I already do. Nice round, 100k!

    @SrN3MESiS if he submitted something on Monday, I doubt they have even looked at it yet. This is still a great find and I doubt they change it because who knows what second and third order effects a change will cause.

    @Adamonic Exactly, that's the biggest issue. Changing a type from one to another could be easy but could have massive ramifications elsewhere unexpectedly.

    @Karen0202 No need to get rude, but jokes on you, my gf likes BF too and was playing with me most of the weekend.
