started my second sister group and their “research” screen seems to mirror that of the first ones despite them having different targets (My second is targeted at Hardcore Adult Males, the first at Casual Female Teens, yet the second group’s max fans/fan growth per single seems to mirror that of it they were also targeting Casual Female Teens)

Tried playing on my Apple laptop (ie with a trackpad, not a mouse) for the first time today. I couldn't right/left click within the game like I can in the rest of the OS (to select Auto Proposals, for example). Is this a bug or a Mac OS thing?

Developer

“Right click” is only used to quickly show/hide the tab on the left, everything else (including context menus) is a simple click. Maybe that’s your issue? Try simply clicking on a room.

If not, then that’s definitely a bug - I test the game on a macbook and never had this issue

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)

Ah, you have to “research” them first, check the research tab

I forgot to add a tooltip for this

I see. Thanks for the help!

Hello

In the auditions of nationwide, it says: "1 guaranteed gold idol"

First time, I got 4 normal idols and 1 silver idol.

Second time, I got 4 silver idols and 1 normal idol.

Is it a bug?

Developer(+2)

How many scandal points do you have? There's a penalty to auditions if you have too many

(+3)

Ooh, this needs to be included in a tooltip somewhere near the auditions part.

Ok, then it makes sense lol. Thanks.

If it is my misunderstanding, I am sorry. I report 2 behaviors who looks like bugs about beta 13.1 for Windows 64 bit.

1) In my environment, "Avg. Recent Earnings" of Salaries maybe be not average but accumulation.

About a idol, "Avg. Recent Earnings" increased from 267,595 yen (in Nov 2018) to 400,677 yen (in Feb 2019), though she did some works of photographs. And it never decrease.

Even in other new game, it is same.

2) When I borrow the first office, though the massage "This floor is rent free" is displayed, it actually costs a rent expense every week.

I am sorry, I can write English little.  But I enjoy this game very mach.  It is cute and exciting!

(+1)

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?

Developer

Please upload your save file where this happens or send it to me at sadambober@gmail.com

Win: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\manual_saves

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/manual_saves

O dont find the AppData file

Developer(+1)

Try this:

When i put a girl on hiatus, the date of her rehabilitation doesn't appear. I'ts a bug? 

(3 edits) (+1)

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: 

The "visual params" options aren't selectable.
PS: this game is Amazing! <3


Does anyone else get the bug where you try to accept an audition and the game just freezes on a blurred screen? The idol cards never come up - I've waited about 15 minutes before giving up. Idk if this is just extreme lag or a bug, but has anyone else had this problem?

Developer(+1)

Check the first post, you probably just need to delete cache files

Oops, I didn’t see the frequent bugs! Thank you so much and as always, thank you for your hard work on a lovely game! 

I've noticed a small bug where if you fire a staff member using scandal points, it won't actually fire the staff member. But it'll use up the scandal points.

Ever since th newest update, I can't play an entire in game day without time stopping in the middle of it, and not continuing. This continues to happen even if I restart the game, make a new game, reload, or continue my save file.

(+1)

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.

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

Oh, I haven't! I'll try that, and reply again with if it worked or not!

Ah, it didn't work. Thank you for trying tho ^^

Developer(+1)

Please upload somewhere or send me to sadambober@gmail.com these files:

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\Player.log
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\global_data.json
And any of your save files that don't work
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\manual_saves

Sending now!

Do I need to explain?? xD (this id my favourite bug since I started playing)

(+1)

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...

Every time I load the game I lose the stats on my theater.

I also influenced an idol to break up with her bf.  When I checked her profile a day later it said she still had a bf.

(1 edit) (+1)

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.

Theater stats only display stats from when you last loaded the game

(1 edit)

Any cutscene doesn't load, just leaves me in the blurred screen state the entire time

Images for the idols on the audition screen, new single fame addition screen, and any cutscene also won't load. They're fine on the portraits in the idol screen but that's it. This has been the case for me from version 13 onwards.

Developer

Try deleting everything in this folder, I think that should help:

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\cache\portraits

Tried that first, the problem persists

Developer

Have you ever installed any mods?

If not, please upload somewhere or send me to sadambober@gmail.com these files:

C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\Player.log
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\global_data.json

And any of your save files that don't work
C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\manual_saves

Idk if i misunderstood it or not but the "rentfree floor" actually deducts rent weekly, with my office, two manager offices and a break room i have to pay 50k every week in rent

(+6)

1. The first floor's supposed to be rent free, it's not

2. Training stamina drain can be a bit odd, because it looks like it's deducted by day spent training and each training request, rather than by time spent training. So, if you start two idols training at the beginning of the day, but one takes the entire day to train a point, but one only takes half a day, they both lose 7 points of stamina. This can have some strange effects, like the fast training trait being far less useful than you'd imagine, because stamina is a bigger constraint on idol activity than time, and training low stats effectively using a lot more stamina than training high stats over time (eg. if you take 5 days to train 8 points in a low stat you'll lose 56 stamina, compared to 35 stamina if you take 5 days to train 5 points in a higher stat). I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, though. (Sorry if this is hard to understand, I explained it as clearly as I could)

3. I got one incident of a text bug where I asked idol A about gossip and she said that idol B was dating idol B

4. Sometimes blaming a staffer for a scandal removes the scandal points, but doesn't fire the staffer. I think this might happen if you take this action while the game is paused.

5. I got one incident where a concert didn't start production when I put it in the producer's room (time was definitely running)

6. It seems like if you hit 100% opinion with a demographic, the opinion will reset to 50% when you release a single, or load that save

7. Sometimes idols being styled will be counted as idle, so you can assign them to two rooms simultaneously

8. The stamina drain for going to France in the World Tour is only 10%, compared to 20% for every other country (again possibly, but not probably, intentional)

9. Scandal points at the bottom of the screen sometimes display incorrectly, for example I once got 4 points, but two idols graduated and this dropped to 1, but it still said 4 (the tooltip when I moused over said 1 though, and it correctly displayed 1 when I reloaded the game)

10. Theatre shows don't seem to use stamina, given how much money it makes I'm sure this can't be intentional

11. There doesn't seem to be any age logic for scandals involving adults and idols under 18* (this could happen in real life, but at least give an extra option for the player to call the police)

12. When you combine a 2-shot (-75%) with the stamina drain for all single releases (-30%), it's basically impossible to do one without a severe risk of injury, which seems very over the top even if it's intentional

13. If your floor rent multiplier is high enough, additional cafes (or even the first one) can cost more in rent than they make (this applies to theatres too, but they potentially make for more money so it's much less likely to happen). Not sure how this could be dealt with, maybe make assigned idols increase income directly instead of sales? Again, could be intentional but doesn't seem logical

14. When you improve the lyrical/dance/music styles some of the ones that have negative modifiers improve and some get worse (so some with a -10% modifier will be -8% at level 2 and some will be -12%). I'm sorry, I made a note of some of the styles this happened with, but I deleted it by mistake.

15. Lastly, this is something I'm not sure about, but I'm worried that the sales bonuses for having a handshake event for singles don't work. In games where I have enough of a money cushion to start producing physical CDs with handshake tickets I look at the units sold per fan and expect to see a noticeable rise (with a fanbase at around 65% hardcore), but I never do. It's hard to test this with any accuracy because there are lots of variables, but I'm not sure it's working properly.
