If you load the save again and click the A again, do you still get different people? And when you accept one (say the left-most one), does it generate the same avatar?

And if you try it again, do you get yet another different set of people with different set of stats, and when you select the one at the same position as the last one, does the avatar still be the same as the previous test?

These tests are used determine which things (idol names, stats, avatars) are generated, and which were already decided when the audition was completed. They can also help sadambober zero-in to the fix.

Or I suppose you could peek inside the save game. It's in JSON, so it's quite easy to change into a human-readable format.

  • If you load that pre audition save for the first time while the game is started everything will be normal, you get the random idol results with random rarity and stats. Hiring an idol will result in you getting said idol.
  • If you load that save a second time (to try to save scum) the avatar results are the same as the first audition but the stats do change. The disconnect issue does happen though, you don't get the same avatar as the one you actually selected, you do get the stats as they were in the audition screen.
  • If you load the save for the third+ time in a row, you now actually get different avatar results at the audition as well with different stats, the same disconnect issue happens as before.

Closing and starting the game before loading the save does clear the 'corruption', and you get the results as described in the first point .

So my guess is that the game doesn't clear/reset some variables correctly when loading a save while not closing the game.
