Got a girl in hiatus complaining.  What the hell are you doing at the studio while on break?

(+1)

Maybe you're being ignored in business dealings because you're on hiatus?? How are they gonna book you for gigs when you're not even available? Lol

(+1)

Not entirely sure what she wants here. What's the "with a" at the end supposed to mean? There's also a space needed between 'edm' and 'single' and the 'a' in front of it should be 'an'.

(+1)

I had another one of those.

I noticed a lot of these, they were fine before the last Update. Maybe a typo somewhere in the code.

Ah, I didn't know they existed before the most recent update. I haven't played for a while after all. This really does sound like a bug introduced with beta 8.0 then.

Mind you, these are still completable. All the info you need is there. It's just that their sentence is a bit of a mess.

Game froze on this screen again. Happened after a birthday event. Pretty sure it was supposed to be a graduation event.
This time I do have the log: https://file.coffee/gCWZ89D8H.txt

Right after the previously mentioned graduation event, the music stayed muffled, as if still in the event, right-click does not close the left-hand menu (manual closing still works) and the game seems to be working just fine.

(Are my massive amount of reports useful at all, or am I overdoing it?)

No, it's super helpful, thanks!

(Lots of screenshots in this one)
I noticed that negotiating business proposals doesn't actually adhere to the percentage that it displays. I'm not sure if this variation is intended. If it is, I think it's not explained clearly enough.

Assume the staffer is max level in deals and a sales manager:


Example 1:
A max level staffer's negotiation result of 0% yields a decrease of about 15% instead. I have seen cases of both increases and decreases.
Before:

After:


Example 2:
A max level staffer's negotiation result of +100% yields an increase of about 70% instead. I have seen cases of both higher and lower than +100%.
Before:

After:

And here's the log: https://file.coffee/Bl-E9GNu5.txt

In the birthday event, one of the portraits is not actually above one of the sprites in the case of 4 girls celebrating.

As buzz seems to be hard-capped at 1000%, should a source of buzz be able to give more than 1000% buzz? (To clarify: My buzz did not go above 1000%)
I'm also not sure if fan satisfaction should really be 0% if it's my best-selling single so far. Either that or I just don't know what fan satisfaction stands for.

(Also, yes, I was 1 sale short. Curse you, game.)

Another 1 short. I wonder if this is an off-by-one error somewhere?

Log: https://file.coffee/bjaVA6Kqn.txt

Adding a host while creating a show with a sufficiently skilled group of idols actually causes the fame level to drop.
No host:

Newcomer host:

Seasoned and Trendy have the same as none in this example, Veteran and Legend have 1 more.
These are the individual idols for reference:

I'm not sure that's actually a bug...

Neither am I. But at the very least it's unclear whether it is or not. Something being unclear should be unintended. Hence.

And now for some rapid-fire smaller bugs and annoyances.

She's already graduated:


Is there supposed to be a hard cap of 7 on queue length, even though the producer is a higher level?

Right-clicking while hovering over an option in the left-hand menu (as to close it) will register it as a normal click, thus completing the action while the menu is closing:

Sometimes auto options (such as auto practice or auto stamina recovery) turn off seemingly at random:

Speaking of auto stamina recovery; since there are Psychiatrists and Physicians, their auto stamina recovery options should be split into auto physical- and auto mental stamina recovery.

Since the recent update introduced automatically disabling and re-enabling of auto practice when dragging a job to their respective rooms, such as a single, why is this not a thing for office workers?

Even though I have selected my vibe to be changed to 'cute', it is still stuck on 'cool':


I don't know if it's any use in these cases, but here's the log anyway:
https://file.coffee/qPujT_t1Y.txt
Yes, this has been a long session (which wasn't possible before, so kudos!), so the log is quite extensive.

I found a good old fashioned game freeze.
Idol graduation event happened.
Chose to get a successor.
Successor's introduction event happened.
Game soft freezes.

The wrong idol portrait is sometimes being shown in a conversation:

She (the wrongfully displayed one) is the same as the successor I got that I was talking about in the previous report.
Log: https://file.coffee/0_RVtY7bw.txt

It looks as if the basic game loop continues to run during a concert/election. "Not enough stamina" tends to pop up from time to time:

Found a new freeze. This one happened after an audition, during the first new idol's event. As shown in the image, I can still interact with the background. (I even managed to save, so I didn't lose any progress)

log: https://file.coffee/yxF6P_uWm.txt

hello! i got double the manager in the cut scene when i started a new save file (i've tested making 4 other new files and getting a manager, it's happened 1/4 times so not that common or that big of a deal). also, my cursor became the idol's portrait when i tried to drag her to a room. screenshots attached, lemme know if i should include a log.


time is freezing for me after i either use a cheat ( specifically the y - 1M yen ), or if i try to hold an audition? also when i do initiate an audition and it's successful, when i hire a girl it's a different portrait from what i originally thought. i'm not sure what's causing that, but so far i've been lucky to miss out on majority of the bugs people have experienced. though in this latest update i feel like i've gotten all of them at once haha.

I had a lot of bugs and her is the principal one :

- When i pick a character in the character list, and i put / try to put in our main character for Socialize, sometimes the image of the head of the idol taht i try to put in my MC never deseapear and i need to load a save / restart the game ( happens a lot of time in my case )

- When i hired girl, the little text that come when you first meet her doesn't appeared and the only think that i could do for a moment was to play normally ( but with the portrait of the idol in the center of my screen,  he never deseapered ), and when i went for do a jobs, and i refused it, all of my screen who was not covered with the portrait of the idol, went all white and i can't literally do anything . So i decided to restart the game and when i tried to load that save, it load a previous save, . And even the auto save was not for my current save and it's was for the same that when i tried to load my game ( Happened 1 time ) It's the same bug that TeHWoof

- Idk if it's a bug but when i pick a gril who is training and i put her in the MC for socialize, it cancelled the Auto practice option of where she was ( i don't think that's a bug but it's perturbating xD ) 

- When i had like 2 Coregraphy / Singing Platform my idols doesn't wanted to go on the last that i bought, so i needed to pick her and put her in the last  Coregraphy / Singing Platform that i had bought . 

- When i load a game sometimes it happen that when i want to see my pushes, i can saw that there is no one, but when i go for put someone, i dont see the face of the idols who is in a case of pushes ( even if their is someone ), but i can see that my character is in it, because the description on the right is grey, and white for all the others idols, so it clearly said that one is in the case ( and it's the same for all the 3 emplacements of the pushes )

- In the election the girl who was the first was the badest one, and it was the game choose, like it was not me who put her in #1 ( low stats and low popularity ) . Idk if it's based on stats or it's random ( but i think that this is random because my idols with like 4-5-6 stars and who also was platinium, was beat by a gold idols with less popularity and stats ) 

Sorry for my bad english at some moment xD . And keep up all the good job that you have done until now !

So I had a loss of power while playing and it corrupted the autosave. I assume it was simply bad luck and the power went out just as it was saving, but what's odd is that my manual saves are gone. They're still there in the actual folder, but in the game, the 'load game' menu is just blank. I'm gonna start a new game to reset the autosave and see if this is a result from the autosave being corrupt, and if that fixes it I guess it's less an actual bug and just something to be aware of. If it doesn't, I have no idea what happened or how you'd fix that, but yeah, off to test around.

Ok so yeah, once you write over the autosave with a new game, all your manual saves pop up again.

Entering the Options menu from inside a playsession causes it to display the wrong labels and values for the various settings. I'm guessing it's just a case of not properly loading the various values, since changing the sliders seems to work.

This is what I set it to when opening the Options menu from the main menu.


This is how it looks when I open the Options menu while in a play session.

It should happen every time and this is on a fresh Windows install with no previous Glitch Pitch folder in AppData.

hi! sorry if this has been mentioned already but i've been getting this bug pretty frequently when i hire a girl, where the portrait that's shown in the audition screen is a different portrait from the one that shows up when she's actually hired. it's not a huge deal but it does bother me a little when the portrait isn't the one i expected it to be lol.

i couldn't seem to recreate it on a fresh save but it worked on my most recent save, which is a new game that i started like 20 minutes ago. i was reloading the save a lot (trying to get the perfect idol without spending a bunch of money on multiple auditions lmao)  so maybe that caused it? it's also happening on my other save which i've played for about 20 hours or so. anyway here's the screenshots!



I've gotten this a few times, someone posted something similar above, but yeah.
