Idol Manager is a business sim about conquering the entertainment industry using any means you deem necessary. · By
This is actually an issue with your computer! It's (probably) happening because Windows 7 only supports DX11.0 features, but the game needs to access DX11.1 features. You can fix this by installing either this platform update, or if that doesn't work, just updating your computer to the latest version of Windows 7.
I'll probably fix it in the next update in a few days, but for now you should be able to fix it like this:
Open your save file with a text editor, find "SpecialEvents_Manager__EventData" and change "Status": 1 to "Status": 0
Win: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow\Glitch Pitch\Idol Manager\data\manual_saves
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Glitch Pitch/Idol Manager/data/manual_saves
For one reason or another, I keep getting this event popping up and I'm unable to make any decision. I also don't have any idols going by that name. So I don't know what's going on, but it keeps disrupting my ongoing save every time I load in.
both it and the politician event every so often are acting glitchy not responding to clicks or poping up 3 or 4 times when you click a option.
sometimes it just doesnt let you do any actions sometimes it works fine
Edit: here is a example
After i force crashed the game and reloaded hitting continue it moved on like the event never happend
This, surprisingly, actually worked for me.
While I did had to change hairstyles of some idols to hairstyles that were in the 9.1 version the save did load in the 9.1 version and spawned a different, closeable, event. Then that 9.1 save loaded fine in the 10.0 game and I could continue.
But it really isn't a viable, permanent, solution.
Hit the same bug last night.
As it stands, the full screen and event lockup bugs are for all intents and purposes, game killing. The game is currently virtually unplayable.
Yep also got this bugged event. After closing the game and reopening the auto save file the game continuous like the event didn't happen but after a week it pops up again in all its game ending glory, it really is a game ender.
Kinda disappointing that this bug is still here, considering it isn't exactly a rare bug apparently.
I just had to force the game to quit because I got an empty dialogue, myself. I think this is my log? For context I have 10 idols, the only rooms/staff I currently have are my office, two managers, and the break room, and I just launched an internet show a few days before the dialogue started up.
Found a smallish bug while trying to save scum for a audition. When you save just before an audition, say just before you would click that A symbol, and then reload that save, the idols that are presented in the audition screen and the ones you actually get are disconnected. The stats and ability do stayed synced correctly.
To make it more clear, here I reloaded the save because I didn't like the results and tried again. These are my choices this time:
I hire the one selected and finish as usual. But at the introduction screen I get greeted by a completely different avatar
The stats are exactly the same though, only the appearance has changed.
And that is as clear as I can make it. From here on out the game uses the new appearance correctly and no further weirdness is experienced. This only happens if I reload and use the same 'prepared' audition, if I cancel and plan a new audition the disconnect doesn't happen at all.
I'll upload the 2 save games, just in case.
Save just before the audition.
Save after the screenshotted audition
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.
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.
