Hello!

Seriously the story update is amazing but I have some bug on the chapter 5: summer festival committee, I can't unlock the committee preference even when I have points. And something the committee pop up doesn't load at all

(+1)

A minor bug I just noticed a moment ago:  The "Ask to stop mentoring..." option doesn't seem to actually work in the idol conversation menu. When I click on the button, nothing happens.

Bugs collected over the weekend:

= Mental stamina loss announced for idols not using mental stamina.  At least, except for bullying, this feels like a bug to me.
= Idols who have lost mental stamina are picked up for auto heal by physicians that are set only for physical and being then treated for physical.
= Played the "No Critical Failure" card, still got hit with 30% loss of hype.
= Idol hired from "buyout copycat group" event not gaining fame.
= Bug: Idols nearing graduation have their physical stamina crash... This crash is not detected by physicians and not picked up for auto heal.

Bug in the free play mode:

- my old saves doesn't show up in the new version

- I can't save anything in this mode, after saving and restart the game, the save slot will disappear.

-No events or dialogue in this too, like the policies dialogues, fujimoto, rival intro and more...

-Auditions pop up keep freezing for me or when I'm trying to change the idol name, the screen will be blurry 

the cheats are not working anymore since the new Update. I press F7 five times and then Y, but don't work. I close the Game and try again- not working. I delete the Game and downloaded it again- not working.

If you're on Mac, try using Fn+F7 instead.

Thank you :) Work for PC too :)

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

After downloading the new update I can't make saves anymore to my existing games.  Do I need to start over?

Not sure if already reported by other users or not. Can't seem to find a search feature here so I will post some new things I've found.

1. Theatre income always shows 0/w when hovering the cursor over current balance.

2. Under individual idols' auto practice menus, all styling options (Cute, Cool, etc.) are unclickable. They are not dark blue but clicking will not activate them.

3. After loading a saved game, subscriber counts in theatres go down dramatically for a while.

4. This is more of a suggestion but it's related to #2. Can we have an option to force or prioritize auto practicing for a specific idol? Would be really helpful for maxing out an idol's stats in order to upgrade to promotion level 10.

5. When I learned that an idol is bullying another, I tried to influence her not to. It won't let me because it says required influence level 2, while in fact I already had max level influence on her. Not sure what's going on.

6. Story disappearing as other posters here also pointed out.

7. If I click and drag an idol for a task and said idol got selected by auto-practice before I can drop it off, the icon of the idol will be permanently stuck to the cursor, and the stats on the employees will also persist indefinitely.

8. Auto salaries won't update the salaries correctly when changed. And sometimes changing this setting will not update the display of this option (in fact all policy options are affected by this issue).

9. Sometimes, during late game every single one of my idols get random mental health increase/decrease, every week. That's not 5% chance, that's 100%. Restarting the game might fix it temporarily.

Something interesting as I was playing through, but I'm just now updating to the new version so not sure how much is still valid - it seems like when I make major decisions (whether to stay with the show or not, the route to go with, etc) it somehow changes which one I went with partway through.  For example, I chose to pull out of the show  - at first everything was normal, but then a few days after the immediate effects of that choice, I met with my rival and she started talking about how I'd "changed the narrative" and I was confused but kind of went along with it.  Then a day or two later, the girl who had encouraged me to pull out left the group, while the girl who'd wanted us to stay stuck around.  I eventually chose Fujimoto's route (had also qualified for Aya's), but barely heard from Fujimoto after that, and the end credits scene included a cute drawing of me and Aya, so I'm assuming something similar happened there.  The task to lock into Aya's route never disappeared after I chose Fujimoto's, either.


EDIT:  NVM, seeing that at least the first time that happened was a known issue that's been fixed.  Not sure if the same for the second, but figured I'd leave this up just in case.

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.

I'm running into a bug where time just stops.  I have to close the game and reopen from my latest save to get time going again.  However, time will stop at around the same point.  

Does the bug happen around December 2022 and January next year? Because it only happens to me around that date.

Yes, it was in Dec 2022.

You also didn't meet the song requirements at the top?.

A small bug I just ran into on the current build is a dialogue event coming up for an idol complaining about a nickname and asking for a change. The only issue with it all is that she hadn't been given a nickname at all and still had her real name.  

I ran into a bug where people will appear in a idol's friend list multiple times.  Should be just once.

I can't load my autosave file. Save & Quit just autosaves so I don't want to open my actual save file because it's almost a year behind.

Please upload your autosave file or send it to contact@idolmanager.net

If you're playing story mode, it should be something like

C:\Users\*your username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\story_mode\*GroupName*_8bd6dce4\auto_save.json

I am on a Mac. I don't have those options. Is the data within resources the same?

Developer

Should be something like ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/story_mode/*GroupName*_8bd6dce4/auto_save.json

I just updated to story mode today and haven 't played it since. There is no Glitch Pitch in Application Support, only in Logs which I submitted to the email you gave.

These bugs might have been fixed because I recorded them a few weeks ago, but here are some bugs I noticed.

1) 76 stats

2) Hiatus until (Hiatus end date not showing)

3) Idols don't seem to be using break rooms very often. I've only seen them use them a few times despite having over 50 idols and multiple break rooms.

4) Loan glitch: suddenly began paying 100x week payment and was paying well over debt amount

5) Genre/lyrics/choreo not changing; the most popular never or rarely changes. Releasing most popular also doesn't work for award show.

6) Stamina cost not working (don't quite remember what this means)

For the popular Genre/Lyrics/Choreo chart you have to repurchase it every month to see the changes

I do and they never change. The same genres will stay at the top. It hasn’t changed over several years and doesn’t work towards award shows.

Hey trying to use the cheats but it's not working when I use the mac keys

Hello,
I am currently experiencing 2 glitches/bugs. 

1. ) The story of the rival crashes when loading the event. (The event where she asks for a favour). 

      The sprite of her is still transparent and the game freezes even before the text appears.

2.) When I pressed the button for a Phantasm event, the button disappeared but the scene was not triggered.

     Keep up the great work =)

Idk if this is happing to anyone else but sometimes the game crashes when I'm doing an audition. Is there a way to fix that?

- I don't know if this is a 'bug' per se, but it's a little funny and probably unintended. Yy idol group is really boring- nothing is going on, no one's bullying each other, and only a few of the girls are in relationships, so I always get the same few responses when I ask for 'gossip'. Okay, sure, cool, that's arguably good for my run. Occasionally, the girls will tell me about their own relationships,,, as if they're gossiping about other people. Several times I've done a double take like "oh, Yamato Rina's in a relationship with Yoshida Akane... wait hold on, you're Yamato Rina."

- Idols will talk about friendships with graduated idols that stayed on as staff members, but they don't show up in the bonds part of their profile. I feel like one of these is a bug, but I'm not sure which.

-I have no idea whether or not I'm stuck on the Phantasm events, or if I just haven't encountered them all yet. (Most recent one I saw was the rival dialogue about the bird statue at the awards show.) If I have... how do I get myself out of it? If I haven't, maybe a counter on the task to show how many I have left to see? I'm kind of just stuck, I want to unlock all three routes before I pick one (so I can make branching saves at the last possible moment).

Have you unlocked at least one promotion type, music genre, lyrics theme and choreography?

Did you give it a title ?

Well, Try retyping the numbers for the number of singles sold. Maybe that will help.
