When you build a 2nd break room, it does not get the animations.
Edit: A few loads & saves later, they showed up.

Let me know if that helped!
I sent you a fixed save file
I think the bug is caused by media shows with 10 stars fame, so I had to cancel two of your shows. I'll fix this in the next update, but for now you have to make sure you don't have any shows like these (e.g. by assigning a host with < 10 fame).
Thanks for helping catch the bug!
Rooms you build on the floor you start with are supposed to be rent-free, right? Or did that change in an update? Because as far as I know, that's not actually the case. It's not a problem to me either way, it's just that you're told that the floor is rent-free when building rooms in it, like I did with this office here, when again, that isn't actually the case.
No matter how much money I earn it seems to always be stuck saying "bankruptcy in 29 days." It never updates to a different amount of days and never goes away even with over ¥3 million saved up.
Also not sure what happened here but it was kind of confusing when all of this popped up at the same time. Akari simultaneously lost 30 points, immediately gained them back, and then lost them again all at once, while Yuna did the opposite and gained 30 points, lost 30 points, and then gained 30 points back all at the same time. This chain of events seems kind of unreaistic to all occur at the exact same time.
This happened to me as well. It added 2 group scandal points when I reopened the game and after I tried to remove them by firing a staffer the time froze.
Edit: I went back and tested it and when I fired one of my staffers that I've had for a long time it worked fine, but when I hired a new staffer and immediately fired them the tooltip listed that it took 2 scandal points but when the window popped up I could only take off one and then after I closed the window the time froze again.
I found a bug that can cause this - it happens if you fire a staffer when your staff tab is in compact view. You'll have to switch to the full view every time you need to fire someone until the next update.
Another related bug - hovering over a staffer in the building view to show their tooltip and then firing them. Can be avoided by hovering over another staffer, before firing that first one.
Ah, you have to “research” them first, check the research tab
I forgot to add a tooltip for this
How many scandal points do you have? There's a penalty to auditions if you have too many
I don't know how it happened, and I did nothing special in the game.
I think I never need to worry about the money in this round lol.
Everytime I play, no matter what I try , The game freeze during April 2029. I dont know what to do. I restarted my pc, I tried to load from a different save file. I dont know if I'm doing things wrong. Am I the only one having this bug? or it's part of the game?
When i put a girl on hiatus, the date of her rehabilitation doesn't appear. I'ts a bug?
I don't think the game is discounting the free floor on rent.
Beta 14, Version 33, Windows 64-Bit
EDIT: Loading saved games apparently is not working either?
EDIT2: I may have forgotten to delete the old folders, game loaded up fine after reinstalling.
EDIT3: 
Hi, have you tried deleting some of your cache files? It's supposed to fix another bug, but who knows, maybe it'll help you.

btw is it normal that I dont make one penny from the theater(I always sold out)? I've 2 theater and I'm losing to much money on rent...
I don't know if the star symbol broke it or something but it was fine at first, then as he kept talking, it sort of fell apart.
Edit: I found another bug! One of my idols graduated and found a successor, but it seems that another idol of mine has confused the successor with the graduated one. Even when I hover over the profile, it shows me the stats of the graduated idol.
Have you ever installed any mods?

I do not understand how the recent average idol earnings are considered. Or why is the recent average earnings equal to all-time earnings divided by 4?
Example: I have an advertising contract for 56 k per week, then the average and all-time earnings will change as in the table below
| Weeks | Recent average earnings | Total earning |
| 1 week | 14 k | 56 k |
| 2 week | 28 k | 112 k |
| 3 week | 42 k | 168 k |
| 4 week | 56 k | 224 k |
| 5 week | 70 k | 280 k |
same problem here :( the elections just stuck at the live blog even after 3 elections
I think this would count as a bug but it isn't game breaking or anything. Figured I should post it here so if there is an issue it can get fixed
Hi,
I have some troubles with the game. Unfortunaly, the game crash very often. When the game crash my graphic pilot is shutdown. I nerver see this before.
I send you the player.log + error.log.
Not sure; if it's a bug or not but some girls can't up their cool or sexy styling as you can see on the screenshoot.
Thanks for your hard working !
Cheers.
Yep, check this update for more info https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kuiper/idol-manager/posts/2528978
Styling doesn't actually cost any stamina, so that's okay. But the rent is a bug, thanks, I'll check it.
So, i've been playing the game for a couple of days and so far i've come across two bugs, the first one is when i load a save sometimes all the idols from my idols list disappear, reloading doesn't fix the bug but restarting the game fixes it so i'm not too bothered. the second one, im not really sure if this is a bug or not, but the time stops when i hit February 4, 2022. the animation still plays but the time,practice, business, and other bars stops moving. i tried waiting but the bars never start moving again. ill start another save in the meantime to try and see if its just a one time bug or not. anyways, Good luck on the game, its been great so far. Cheers!
it stops here btw.
I'll fix this in the next update, but here's a quick fix for you:
1. Launch the game, load your save file
2. There's a doctor on the second floor, Yamauchi Saki. Cancel her task. (For anyone else having this issue, you can try canceling tasks of all staffers).
3. You can unpause the game now and it should work
Thanks for the report! And let me know if it didn't work
Please upload somewhere or send me at sadambober@gmail.com these files:

I'm reworking the way modding works, and because of that custom sprites don't work in this version. They should work again after the next update.
For now you can download the older version of the game using the itch.io app: https://itch.io/app
("Library" -> Click on the game -> Click on the options gear icon -> "Manage" (or "Install" first if you haven't already, then "Manage") -> "Switch to another version")
This actually seems to happen regardless of whether or not I have the idol - the amount displayed after you hit negotiate, whether you succeed or fail, is often incorrect and doesn't match what it should be.
Some more:
If I'm dragging an idol to socialize and that idol is automatically pulled into another room (practice, styling etc) the idol's portrait gets stuck on the mouse cursor. Nothing breaks and you can drag a different idol to make it go away. Edit: "Socialize" gets stuck on display on your room, though, and that doesn't go away.
Switching from Compact view to Full view for idols will add an extra copy of the idols list every time (so you get to the last idol and under it will be the whole menu including the "new group" button).
Compact view does not show idols in sister groups.
Canceling a practice/styling/doctor session by clicking on the idol portrait or using the idol menu will make the staffer idle. Doctors are especially buggy since their auto actions are still toggled on, and so you need to toggle a new action or deselect an old one to make them work again.
The "no critical failure" card for concerts doesn't seem to do anything at all.
Trying to release a non-election single with the election concert ready to go triggered the concert music and locked the game. Upon closing and reloading, it automatically started the concert with buggy (white square) idol portraits and didn't release the non-election single.
Edit:
More:
You can't set an automatic style in the "auto practice" menu for idols (it doesn't select the option and will de-select any other options you have).
If you click promotion/performance/spa treatment right as the day is about to end with an active queue, it replaces the next item on your queue.
If you remove items from the queue when it's full, you can't queue up additional things until the next day.
I made a separate thread about this, but I'm concerned it'll be missed if it's not also included in this thread, so I'm posting here as well. In the "auto practice" menu for an idol (see attached picture), you can select the first 4 options ("Don't practice" through "Dance") but not the last 5 options ("All visual params" through "Pretty").
.
When you go here, you don't have the download button? https://itch.io/my-collections
Or you can try using the app https://itch.io/app
Hi !
On the 19 update, when I pass my mouse over the idol doing activities in the compagny I get this :
Sometimes, it just a few stats that are replace by ''cute : 76'' but it's always the same number and it's for all of my idols.
When you complete a wish you have to click on it in the tasks section to complete it, same with loan requirements
Do you still have this issue after the update? Have you ever played the game before or is it your first time?
If it worked before you can try deleting (or renaming) the save folder C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager, apparently this helped someone
fyi you can always contact itch.io support to get a refund: https://itch.io/support
I had the same issue, but I had to fiddle around inside my save file to fix it.
In my case, I had to open up my save file, scroll down to "data_dialogues_Data," find the last story event listed there, and deleted that off of my file. I made a backup in case something went wrong, loaded up the new file, and used the cheat (~) to manually start up the event, and it worked.
I dunno if this'll work for you guys, but it worked for me. I did end up a few story events back from where I actually was, but everything seemed to play out as it was supposed to. I think I ended up sidestepping the issue by allowing an older story chapter to trigger instead, so this probably isn't an actual fix, so if anyone could find a better solution, that'd be much appreciated.
had a dating issue too, after having 3 dates working well ( the initial -restaurant- one, the aquarium and the game area ) the 3rd one i tried ( i think it was the libary one ) it just didnt show up any action/dialog/window and did stay in management mode. After loading older savegames, even the dates which did work before, didnt work anymore. After clicking "invite on a date" it just hits me back on management screen without something happening.
but so far, i love it :D hope its getting fixed soon =)
1. You will need to update the game to the newest version
2. After that you either need to load a previous save file where you still have a story task (if you didn't save manually, you still should have an auto save file at the start of the chapter. Click "Chapter 2" in the loading menu)
Or you can trigger the event manually: press F7 five times to unlock cheats. Then press F7 again and select "story_chapter_1_25", this should restart the story from the rival dialogue.
Actually, if you don't want to wait, you can just replace this file
*game_folder*\IM_Data\StreamingAssets\Languages\en\JSON\Events\dialogues.json
with this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1st5zec8elt8Zgrbb1dDzK97i3qE0yWTy/view?usp=shari...
(You'll have to either load a save before the ramen dialogue, or use cheats to trigger "story_chapter_2_28")
Thanks, I see what might've caused this
For now to fix this you can just F7 -> "Complete all tasks"
If you have other tasks that you don't want to complete, you can delete this variable from your save file and trigger story_chapter_3_event_6 again
Thank you for the incredibly fast response! I really appreciate it. I'm downloading the latest update tonight, if I run back into this issue, I'll give this a try!
Yeah, this part can get bugged. You can try this https://itch.io/post/2372198 (press F7 5 times to unlock the debug menu), or wait for a patch (probably in a day or so)
Hello! Loving the new update so far, though I haven't gotten very far in the story yet ^^. A few minor issues I've noticed:
- The Photogenic trait still lists as applying a bonus to Random Photo marketing, even though this marketing strategy has been removed.
- Occasionally Idol Portraits in the results screens of launched shows(I personally haven't noticed it on singles yet, had this happen for a few shows on older builds) will be white flashing squares instead of remaining blank/showing images. When this happened to me on the current build only the three Idols showing up were actually hosting the show.
Love this game a ton! Looking forwards to the official release, and I'll update with any more bugs I find as I play more
I experience this a lot, too- from what I understand, it happens when you go from releasing something with that many idols to releasing something with only a few. It'll put white boxes where everyone else was in the last single/show. Happens all the time when I put out solo songs (I know that's probably bad strategy, but don't judge me, I've got a storyline going and I want to keep it up sdlfkjsdlfj). Doesn't seem to affect anything other than the visuals tho
Now playing through the newest update - during the Nation of Idols arc, when I was supposed to have one girl supporting us staying in the show, it showed a blank white box on the screen and no name in the dialogue box. Later, Fujimoto came to my office and referenced the girl who quit, but he used the wrong name and referred to a girl who's still in the group.
The rival's route is really bugged, too - I've had to use the f7 debugger thing a few times because the next part of the story wouldn't trigger after I completed the task.
Try deleting/renaming this folder, apparently it helped someone before: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager
Your save files are also in this folder, so you should make a backup, and if the issue is fixed - copy your save files back to this folder.
I had a story event and then the counter of my fans was completly wrong. I didnt notice and released a single that got a really big amount of money because of the wrong number of fans.
I think it happens when you enable the custom idle portrait mod. I have tried some mods.
In this instance, I'm trying to select a Preferred Proposal with a standard click. Menu items with check boxes are not selectable for me this way. (or I'm doing something wrong)

I see the bug, thanks for reporting!
Here's fixed save file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iDxRRKWhX-4TWjnDbKsEUoXKD1LlNHov/view?usp=shari...
=================
If anyone else is having this issue and doesn't want to wait for the next update:
This can happen if the center of your single that ranks #1 in the charts graduates before you continue the main story.
You need to open your save file with a text editor and:
- Find an idol with "Variables": ["center"]
- Remove "center" from her and add it to any other idol who hasn't graduated yet
When preparing for the Summer Games, I encountered a localization error. While talking about how to pander to the audition judges, this happened:
Hello, This game is so much fun!
** This message is google transfer **
I am playing beta with steam demo save data.
I have some issues.
1. The same member performs multiple stylings.
2. Dating with the graduated members.Is this the correct specification?
3. It's 2028 now. Various response operations slow down after playing for a few hours.I feel that it is getting worse over the years.
4. This is a suggestion. Place the newest song at the top of the concert song selection screen. As more songs are released, scrolling to the best to pick the latest song can be annoying.
5. This is a suggestion. Please allow members to socialize(Planning a date) during practicing and styling.I'm taking the following boring action to achieve this:
The devs have had to change the game's age rating to 'Adults Only', which is causing problems to players in a few countries that don't openly and freely allow the sale of such products. It could be the case with China. This is not a final decision, however, so there's still a chance it may end up being reverted.
Im using the Steam version btw

Have you installed any mods? Something went wrong because of this girl: 夕凪英姬
Hello, I cant raise Cool and Sexy for some idols. Sometimes it work sometimes it doesn't. From the screenshots it is visible that this idol can raise her Cool and Sexy up to 55 and 76. I have an expert stylist with Cool and Sexy but It doesn't allow me raise the attributes. When I am trying to drag and drop the Idol as it is visible on the screenshot, areas with Cool and Sexy are red.
Can someone help please? I am using the steam version and I have tried with mods and without with the same result.
I also think that there is some problem with the story progression. I am still at chapter 1 and my current quest is to top the single charts. Is it supposed to be this way? I haven't seen much events either.
I'm also having this issue with the stylist. Here's an attached save file and log: https://www.mediafire.com/file/g3gay7zl989xgp9/stylist.zip/file
In this screenshot here, I'm trying to drag Sasaki Karen to the stylist with 6 stars in Cool/Sexy. Cool and Sexy are both marked ineligible in red, even though her Cool and Sexy stats are only 20, so the stylist should definitely be able to train her. Hiring new stylists doesn't change it -- it applies to all the stylists that I have.
I took liberty to peek in the game code, and i'd guess this issue is caused by the huge impact of your current fame level on the number of new fans you acquire:
private float GetFameNewFansBaseCoeff()
{
return resources.GetFameLevel() switch
{
0 => 2f,
1 => 1.5f,
2 => 0.5f,
3 => 0.3f,
4 => 0.25f,
5 => 0.25f,
6 => 0.15f,
7 => 0.1f,
8 => 0.05f,
9 => 0.03f,
10 => 0.01f,
_ => 0.1f,
};
}
The catch is, fame levels are very easy/fast to acquire. In my game i have fame level 10 after a year or so, mainly from doing contract work. This means my new fan gains are reduced to 1% of what they'd be otherwise, even though i have just a bit above 100k fans total and obviously plenty of room to grow in this department.
As a fix i'd suggest increasing numbers needed to acquire fame (a bump as large as 10x wouldn't be out of place, considering you can hit the max in just a year) and/or improve the fame coefficient calculation to take into account the size of your existing fan base, and don't reduce it so drastically if the players fan base is still somewhat small.
Hope this helps?
Hey, been a while since I've posted stuff here. Thought I'd put some observations I found. (Warning, massive post ahead)
She's in two rooms at the same time. One is styling her for sexy, the other for cool.
Choosing any of the styling options (Including 'All visual params') under 'Auto Practice' doesn't work. The tick doesn't appear and vanishes from the list until any of the top 4 options are chosen.
While being on the topic of stylists, I would humbly request an option (in the policies section, probably) to disallow stylists to work on stats that are over an idol's potential.
Singles still grant buzz, but it looks to me like that function has been removed from the game. The main UI does not show any mention of buzz anymore.
The photogenic trait claims to make negotiations in photoshoot contracts always successful, but they aren't. And the 'random photo marketing promo' is no longer a thing from what I can tell.
Again, is buzz even still a thing?
Still on the topic of traits, can we get an option for idols like this to train their lowest stat in their auto-practice option? Perhaps also an option to not train any of their stats that are already at or over their potential.
Swapping tabs (with tab or MMB) while carrying an event/show/single will stick it to your cursor, until you click on the originating event/show/single again.
Adding activities to your queue and then removing them greys out the activities and will not allow you to re-add them by clicking (in the 'Details' menu or the 'Activities' menu) Shortcuts (Z, X, C) will still work.
For that matter, level-up requirements for activities do not update for the 'details' menu when the requirements are reached during an activity cooldown, while they do update in the 'Activities' menu itself.
After building your first expansion on a floor, the subsequent floors' rents go up, this is normal, but for some reason the floors going down gain a higher increase of rent than the floors going up.
If you lower an idol's salary to ¥1.000 /w, you can no longer increase it by pressing the plus button (You can still change it with the edit icon)
ᶜᵃⁿ ʷᵉ ᵍᵉᵗ ᵃⁿ ᵒᵖᵗᶦᵒⁿ ᵗᵒ ᶜʰᵃⁿᵍᵉ ⁿᵘᵐᵇᵉʳ ˢᵉᵖᵃʳᵃᵗᵒʳˢ ᶠʳᵒᵐ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵃˢ ᵗᵒ ᵖᵉʳᶦᵒᵈˢˀ
Raising one idol's salary reduces the satisfaction of other idols, this is intended(?), but can mess up the auto 50% salary policy, making some idols get under the asked for 50%. Also, why is there no 100% option?
I find the inconsistency of the stamina limits between policies and the cafe a bit strange. (And the theater doesn't have any?)
Speaking of the theater, I can't select Young Adult or Adult as the target audience for Sunday, as the dropdown box goes off the screen.
I know this is a massive list, and some of these are just pet peeves, but I thought I'd mention them anyways.
Thanks for all the hard work, loving the game still,
Brian
Have you been able to find a fix for the duplicating Idols in Stylist rooms ? I've been searching everywhere to no avail and this problem is driving me crazy. I've 11 Stylists working full time but they keep bugging due to this problem and the Idol stops getting any kind of progress in most cases (or only one Stylists progress will actually matter in the best case scenario).
I'm at a point where it'll be extremely tedious to micromanage each idol for a stat increase, if you do not have a fix i sure hope they will fix this soon because i'm not sure if i want to keep playing like this for long.
Well that's a bummer, let's hope they will fix it at some point, still thanks for replying tho.
In the end i kept playing anyway, i like this game too much. It's just going much slower since i have to manually do everything now, but i guess at least i keep a closer track of who does or needs what, eh.
