Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
This bug isn't too much of a problem. The bug is that I am unable to view my armies via the Army Tab in the Outlier. Of course, mods are technically to blame, but it is actually caused by a slight oversight in code. If the amount of armies (individual ships, not army strength) a person has reaches a certain number it will overflow and cause a negative number. The game looks at it thinks "a negative number is less than zero, it is not a positive number, goodbye army tab!" Planetary Defense Armies also count towards this number and are the majority for the reasons this occurs. Realistically, this is unable to happen in a vanilla save-game. Modded, however, is what causes it to occur most often.
Ways to fix this are to
A) Not have so many soldier and enforcer jobs on a planet.
B) Not have so many assault armies.
C) Expand less (basically less planets to spawn defense armies on).
This bug isn't exclusive to 2.8, it has been on, from what I could tell, all versions.
Steps to reproduce the issue.
Colonize many planets. Spawn in MANY defense armies. Build assault armies. Keep building both types and eventually the army tab will disappear.
