- After a concert, the spacebar no longer pauses the game.

- When an idol has announced her graduation date, her physical stamina crashes (her recovery rate seems to crash and then recover).

- When an idol has announced her graduation date, her salary stops being updated and I start getting "not happy" messages.

Sometimes when you hit "negotiate" it changes the idol's stamina ever so slightly, like they lose 2 stamina. 

Not a super important bug but worth looking into :)

Btw thank you guys for patching the game so quickly after the last update. It is so much more playable now.

Negotiation meetings sometimes do drain you. Call it a feature!

I'm getting a blurred screen bug after a birthday event thats locked in so I can't progress. I do have some ridiculous amount of idols/staff/buildings though. Up over.... 7,000,000,000 moneys and like 25 offices running full speed hahaha think i'll just start over. 

Is there any more of the story though? I think i've made it through at least year 3 and other than Fujimoto coming in if I mentioned him in a Award, I havent seen anymore what would be considered "story content"

Also need to put it out there, absoluting loving this game! I picked it up quite late but enjoying the whole idea and concept <3 great work.

Developer

Have you updated the game to 11.2? This bug happened when two idols had a birthday on the same day.

I have been starting new games with each patch. So yes, it was at 11.2.

Can you please upload your save file to https://file.coffee if you still have it?

Windows:

when checking an idol’s fans on their profile, the stats and numbers all remain the same as the first idol you checked unless you fill in the fans checkbox and then change to fan details/appeal

Had an single/concert/election cycle conclude at the start of July before the awards: game froze upon loading awards sequence. Loaded the autosave which was 15 minutes ago (despite setting mine to 60 seconds.). Landed after the single release but before the concert: concert never triggered after that, and therefore no election either.

I wanted to test center recognition, and it seems like if you don't have a girl at the very front of the formation but two in the 2nd row, the game selects one of the two to be sole center as marked in the singles/jobs tooltips, but it doesn't count for the "center a single" wish. Maybe the game could add WCenter mechanic? (ie if there's not a girl at the tip of the formation, the girls in the second row are centers. Or even better, a second formation option that allows 1/2/4 centers, ala a 5-6-5 formation:

x     x     x     x     x

x     x     x     x     x     x

x     x     x     x     x

Whenever a clique is bullying a girl I get a bunch of influence to get them to stop but it always says I don't have enough. I have four influence over a clique member, and its telling me it costs one influence to make them stop bullying but still says I don't have enough.  Has this happened for anyone else?

I tried to find something about this bug but found no answers, even though it seems incredibly common. After about a year and a half of in-game time, every event or audition I get has the blurry screen, and I can click on the background to change things/swap idols and such (with no effect since the clock is stopped and doesn't restart). I got 2 saves locked because of this bug now, and I don't want to start a new game just to see everything end like this.

Thanks, I found the issue. This will be fixed in the next update (should be up today or tomorrow)

Didn't get fixed, instead actually got worse I think. Never had this bug before. But now I had it on the second audition I did. Nothing works anymore.

Actually found a way to click out of the screen. When I restart auditions now it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Really weird.

Developer

Do you have an itch or steam version?

Please try deleting everything in this folder, this might fix auditions for you:

Win: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\cache\portraits
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/cache/portraits

Also, I don't think it's your case, but this could help too: https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzI3MzUyMDEucG5n/original/SAD%2F2A.png

That actually fixed my issue, thank you! However I also don't gain any Scandal Points I saw.

Okay so after playing this update for an hour I have to say...it's unplayable. I love the content you added, but it's by far the most buggy update. First the thing with the audititions, that I mentioned above. I actually was kind of forced to trigger auditions by cheating and cheat the money back that I lost, if it didn't work. Because it didn't work more often, than it worked. Then I had some lag and stutter issues which mostly resulted in my game crashing. (It crashed 3 times in the hour I was playing.) Then when I finally got to release a single I got also stuck in the blurry screen. This time I couldn't click out of it tho, so I basically had to restart my game and hope it works the next time. But so far I haven't managed to release a single. Always got stuck in the blurry screen.

So yeah this version desperately needs a fix!


Oh and another weird thing I realized: Since I started cheating anyways, I just went all the way and cheated my idols stats. But I realized it said age: 0 for all idols in the save file. It usually says the correct age tho. Also ingame they have the correct age. (Because it's probably taken from their birthday) But still...thought that's kinda weird.

Still trying to figure out how to properly get an idol company off the ground when I run into a bug.

The way I've been doing it is hire like 20 idols and just 3 staffers to look for promotional jobs. It works to start getting the ship floating as I do sideshows like online and stuff.

The problem is that the staffers' salary gets updated, so all of a sudden I find myself fighting against the staffers' release clause which was around 2M yen.

I ditched her, and the game just froze in time. I could still move and do stuff but the clock just stopped and it never progressed. Not even reloading it helped.

Is there a way I can actually send you the savefile?


EDIT: New save file, tried firing the girl before severance pay and it once again froze the clock.

Developer

Yeah, I couldn't replicate any of your bugs, please upload your save file somewhere or just send it to me at sadambober@gmail.com

election is bugged: single will always say that it can't be released because concert isn't ready. I tried all different configurations (simultaneous concert and single, finishing the single and then starting a concert, finishing a concert and then starting the single, cancelling and redoing the election, single and concert, just the concert, etc.)

My buzz point doesn't appear on screen anymore.

Since this latest update, I cannot get my officer to do proposals. When you click on proposals, nothing happens.

Developer

If you're still having this issue, please upload your save file somewhere or send it to me at sadambober@gmail.com

Sent!

I also have the bug where the election can't be launched.  The concert needs the single to be ready, and the single needs the concert to be ready.  Neither can be launched.

I'm having this bug as well

(+1)

Yep, add me to the list...

Game has become unplayable for me since the update last month, freezes every time I run an audition

Developer

Check this post, one of these should fix your issue https://itch.io/post/1064221

Regarding elections, - After the latest patch, I now have have a whole other problem. Every time I finish the production for the elections, the single production box disappears.  

Developer

Please update again, it should be fixed now. I uploaded the wrong build first

I think something disappeared...I have no buzz and I don't gain fan from the buzz when releasing a new single.

buzz has been removed on purpose afaik

aaah~ thank you~

Playing a game on normal difficulty, did something that caused me to go into the red and start the bankruptcy countdown.  Reloaded from a save, and the countdown paused but remained on the screen.  Exiting and re-starting cleared the timer.

Game seems to have wiped my most recent save game. I had installed the latest build (and just that one, not the initial 12.1), last night I tried loading the game, only for my computer to shut off (Not sure if this was the game or my computer). I didn’t try playing again until today, but I’ve found that my previous autosave and manual save from my most recent game are gone.

Developer

I think deleting the corrupted autosave file should help (or starting a new game to overwrite it):

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\auto_save.json

It probably breaks the save/load popup so your manual saves don't show up

I followed your address and the autosave file I got was empty, checked manual saves and there was nothing after Nov 30 (started a new game for update 12.1 in December.). Tried a quick autosave but those files are still gone.

Started a new group and game bugs out every time I run an audition (stops at a gray screen and won't show idols). The first time I got it to rectify the issue by exiting, loading an autosave, and running the audition again. However, tried to do another audition and the same result with the blank gray screen w/no idols being shown.

A little reticent to go with the first fix listed because if you asked to find something called Glitch Pitch on my computer, I would be searching for days since it does not exist. It is the same for anything to do with LocalLow or even something called Data in regards to the Idol Manager folder. Overly cautious, I guess.
