So I think the elections are no longer working. When I try to do an election, even if I have a single and concert in production, it shows me the stats of a past concert. I am not able to select the broadcast method for elections.  Idk if you can see but behind the concert stat block, it tells me i need to have a concert in production.  When I click continue, it creates the election, but I am not able to drag it to production or logistics

When I came back today, the game was fine and I was able to create the election however, the concert only started after save&quit and then after the election the game froze

Oh thank you. That worked.

I've run into an issue with Permanent Cast and shows. The shows aren't being assigned properly to the idols. I've first noticed this when I setup 3 shows (2 internet and 1 radio), and found that all 3 shows were assigned to the same 3 idols despite the fact that I had created them using 9 different idols as cast for the 3 shows. I had then canceled all the shows and re-launched new ones but then noticed that none of the idols had any shows under their profile.


I created a new save to replicate this issue:

  1. Hire 9 idols.
  2. Research Travel topic.
  3. Launch a travel show with the first 3 idols (shows were assigned properly)
  4. Research Hobby topic
  5. Launch a hobby show with the next 3 idols (both shows were then assigned to these idols under their profile).

I've had this happen with less idols. It gets kind of annoying when my first group doesn't seem to exist, and my second group ends up hosting all the shows and dying.

I've hit a bug kinda like the one Kaiyurin mentions a few posts back...

All of the sudden thing (idols, songs, events...) will become undraggable.  (Or undroppable, since I can grab them and move them.  The items in the doctor's window light up.)  It requires a save-and-quit to reset.   Things will be normal for a minute or two, and then it happens again.

Update:  Yeah, this should be called the draggable-but-not-droppable bug.  I can grab something, and the cursor icon changes, but when I hover over a drop location and drop nothing happens. 

This happens on all items on the main (building/staff) screen.  It does not happen on the (single) formation screen.

Bug still present in Beta 5.1.  It took about an hour or so of game play to appear, and then steadily becomes more frequent as play time increases.

Saving and reloading clears the problem.

Interesting...  I was about to post that I started a new save and encountered the same pattern - no problem at first, then it popped up after I'd played for a while.  But I had added a doctor on the floor above the "rent free" floor before encountering it - just as BrassCrassus posted just a few minutes ago.

Ayup...  Reloaded the save in my first reply to myself, and everything went fine, no "bugs" at all.  And then as soon as I used a doctor on the floor above the "free" floor - boom.  The bug appeared again.

Ayup, started a new save - this time I put the doctors on the floor under the "free" floor.  As soon as I dragged a girl to the doctor's (man, that sounds bad), the problem popped up again.

Seems to be confirmed to be related to dragging to the doctor.

Tested and confirmed, this only happens with dragging to the doctor.  Does not happen when dragging to trainers.

I can't relaunch a show. I finished the concept and production work, but then I can't select the relaunch button.

I think this is a Bug. If you make a concert with 100k ticket price (maximum) , the attendance is higher than with lower price, and always is worth, even if hardcore fans complains.

If I'm not clear enough I can provide a Screenshot with the issue.

Edit: I gave a concert in every country and the requeriment for level up promotion doesn't pop

Edit2: Want to host a radio show with a newcomer co-host doesnt work

The "auto" feature disables randomly (training or doctor, in office works OK)

A fun one with the doctors...  They aren't choosing the lowest physical stamina patients.

I'm back again (lol). It seems as though I'm not the only one experiencing what DerekL now calls the 'draggable-but-not-droppable' situation. Fortunately, it isn't as frequent as it previously was. Strangely, for most of the people facing the same issue its after they drag someone to the doctor from another floor— afterwards it stops working. For me, so far, I've only ran into this issue again when dragging to the doctors at my lowest floor (it isn't the lowest floor, as seen in the image). 

I was going to mention that the issue only seemed to be present with those two doctors, however I discover later on that this seems to trigger the rest of the staff members to be undropped to. The rest of my doctors, which are much higher up don't seem to trigger this issue (as I mentioned earlier, I dragged an idol to one of the lower doctors; did not work, however I managed to drop her to the higher up doctors. But the issue returned).

Edit: It seems like it now no longer just apply to the lowest doctors— rather I can drop idols to the doctors and then dropping stops working.

I did a few tests, since this prevents me from actually playing the game. Looks like dragging an idol to a doctor's office will lock all rooms to the right and below it. I'm able to drag again once I take the idol out of the doctor's office.

So, If you build your doctors offices all the way to the right, it should keep the bug from happening? Time to test.

I meant all rooms to the right and all floors below. You're going to have to place all doctor's offices at the lowers floors and drag idols in order like the image, also wait for everyone to finish before dragging idols again.


Cancelling a TV show seems to show the wrong cancellation date.
My show was supposed to be cancelled on 9 April according to the tooltip, but the season is not yet over so it's still going one day later.

It seems the tooltip for general info (total new fans, next episode date and such) also showed 9 April for the next episode. It finally got canceled one week later on 16 April, so the tooltips just seem to be one week off from the correct date.

I'm having an issue where the game just freezes. Everyone just stops whatever task they are doing. Saving and reloading does not work.

Have you updated the game to 5.1?

Please send me your broken save file at sadambober@gmail.com

Your log file will help too:
Windows: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\output_log.txt
Mac: ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

I updated the game, but i saw using a save file from the old version. So I just started fresh! 

I just had my first chance to test Idol Manager. I'm on Linux ( KDE Neon, Ubuntu 18.04-based ) but I suspect this is not Linux related. Apparently the game doesn't seem to support UltraWide screens very well:

Even though the option is offered on startup to select my native resolution ( 3440 x 1440 ). When I select a lower-than-native resolution and windowed mode, the game seems to start fine, so I'll just give it a go like that ;-)

Developer

Oh, thanks, I didn't know 21:9 options are available in the launcher. Yeah, you'll have to stick with 16:9 or 16:10 for now

Bankruptcy countdown timer resets after game reload.

When I have a negative balance I can see countdown timer: "(bankruptcy in 28 days)". But after saving game and loading it I don't see any timer. And then bankruptcy timer starts all over again from 31 days.

Anyone else experiencing their Idols mental stamina plummeting?  Every single idol becomes depressed almost immediately after hiring them, it's infuriating because once they become depressed their stats plummet and there's seemingly no way to improve the mental stamina except them going on a hiatus which is extremely long.

Developer

I'll look into this issue, but, judging from some other reports, I suspect there might be a bug with some marketing option for singles that drains way more stamina than it's supposed to

Doctors will raise mental stamina, but they're a bit expensive when just starting out.

theres a bug were one of the singles (i started before the 5.1 update came out) i cant finish, it  doesnt become green so i cant drag and drop it into another room.

Same bug happened for me too.

theres a problem with the election event, i click it and the ui for it shows up but i cant click on any of the options.

One of my girls has the wish to be on a cooking show with a legend co-host, so I made a cooking genre radio show and put a legendary host in, with her as the permanent cast. When that didn't work, I tried it was both internet and tv shows, but it still shows up as unfufilled :(


Also, my relationship with her randomly went from 100 to like 14. I think it might have been because of her salary - but the change was waaaay faster that I could catch.


Elections won't auto-start either after I release the single.

Developer

Hey, I found the cause of the bug with the show. For now you can launch a show where the co-host is lower level than she wants, then it'll work.

Hey, the new Patch seems to have introduced a Bug, that Freezes the game when you break a contract.

Observed it twice now, when an Idol got In jured. Time stops and can't be restarted.

I've noticed that some idols experience permanent stat decreases as a result of experiencing depression and going on hiatus. Certain stats fall to 50% of their value and do not bounce back once the idol recovers. I imagine this is not intended. Has anyone else experienced this?

(+1)

Certain idols portraits won't match. It will switch between the correct one from the audition (bottom image) and a totally different one (top image in middle). I've had this happen several times during previous versions as well.

A few things I noticed:

1. Graduated idols are still available to be added to singles and can still get into scandal
2.  I am unable to create a concert because it always says one is "in progress" 
3. Game seems to freeze when I drag a show to work on concept if trying to relaunch

Not sure if this is the only way to trigger it, but I was working on a song's concept (manager) and decided that I wanted to plan a date with one of my idols. Dragged her in, did the date, and then suddenly the song couldn't be worked on. I didn't cancel the concept process, and (if my memory is right) I couldn't drag the song at all.

Same thing happened to me.  closing and reopening the game does not help
