Short summary of your issue
Effects of institutions stays as if it enacted at level one, no matter the actual level

Game Version
1.1.1

What OS are you playing on?
Windows

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files?
Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
8

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
No matter what level of the institution you choose, the actual benefits your country getting stays at level one. Observed mostly on political strength benefits, but maybe other benefits are affected too.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Just play a country with institution already unlocked at the start of the game, like Sweden, and look up the clout modifier from the institution on a certain IG.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
Probably works with institutions unlocked later in the game, not just from the start. The actual effect of the institution Religious Schools is shown right under the "Go to Details" button, 10% clout instead of the 30%

I have attached a save game
Yes

This bug is true, it exists.
I noticed this issue when I created an institution that increased birth rate and immigration, the effects won’t go beyond level 1 even if investment level is 5.
This makes the whole idea of upgrading institutions useless! Every time a Victoria 3 player decided to increase their colonization/education institutions, they were wrong. Effects never went beyond first level values. This is broken as hell and I expect gameplay experience to enhance greatly once this is fixed.

Howdy MrCAMANDER!

Thank you so much for the report sent regarding the Institution bonuses.

This has been duly noted and forwarded to our bug database. Looking at the religious political strength benefits, it seems while the tooltip is absolutely showing values for level 1, the modifiers for the IG is showing the correct amount according to the actual institution level.

That being said, we really appreciate the help and hope you have a nice weekend!

I just wanted to clarify that this visual bug appears everywhere the institution effect is displayed, not only pop political strength. I added migration buff to an institution, it only displayed level 1 effects in the state migration breakdown.
