Do collaborations affect an artist's reputation, release hype, or sales/stream numbers in 1.3?

How important are Man Management and Motivation? Also, should I hire staff who have the highest Regional Knowledge for the country my label is located?

I believe I sent you an email about this Mark. I'll load up the game and see if I still have this problem. Wait, nevermind. My problem was with booking too many artists or bands for interviews. If there were too many, the game wouldn't simulate some of the dates. I assumed this is suppose to happen, right?

I haven't played the game in awhile but I'll try to replicate this bug.

I couldn't replicate it either. I'll explain what happened in 1.1.1.24 though. First, I'd offer a contract to an artist who already had offers from other record labels. I'd always choose 5 albums on the terms. Once the contract offer had been sent, I'd save the game and exit out of it. Upon on reload, I'd advance the game and get a notification that the artist signed to my label. When checking the contract information, the album deal would read 0. In actuality, I could release one album with the artist. After that, they would no longer be on my label.

Well, it made it through somehow. I was hoping it wouldn't but it did. I experienced this bug back in 1.1.1.24. I believe the game isn't holding the information from my previous play session. When I load my save, the game duplicates certain variables. Contract offers are recreated but the number of albums and albums remaining are set to 0. It affects every label that offered any artists a contract. I believe videos are affected as well. Mark, is this suppose to happen?

It's not of major importance compared to an actual bug, but when searching the database for vocal producers, the Edit Filter button doesn't work.

I deleted this post because I began to assume the difference was due to the Creativity statistic. I decided to test my assumption and it was wrong.

I did this immediately after setting a release date for the single. Step 1: Navigate to Music > View Single Data > Action > Create Music Video Step 2: Select A Traditional Music Video > Narrative Video Step 3: Choose to shoot the video in the United States - Houston (Beyonce's Hometown) Step 4: Select Director > I choose the best one that's available. Step 5: Select Celebrities > Select Angelina Jolie then Brad Pitt Step 6: Select Networks > Click Select All > Check Turn on Advertisements Step 7: Click Start Making the Video button. For me, nothing happens. I click it multiple times then back out to the main screen. I sim one week and instantly have millions. I decided to try and release it again. I can't choose a video type this time, but I can use the continue button. It let's me select everything else and the Start Making the Video button works this time.

I didn't go back and forth when choosing between the different options. I couldn't get pass the screen that shows how much the video will cost to make. The button on this screen didn't work for me. I clicked it multiple times to no avail. I then backed out of this section to the main screen and continued to sim the game.

Beyoncé recorded 25 videos and made the label $88M off of advertisements. This occurred when I tried creating a video. For some reason, when I try to finalize a video, it doesn't allow me to do so. I clicked the button multiple times which lead to the game creating multiple videos.

My apologizes. I forgot to mention that Lil Wayne is classified as a Singer instead of a Rapper.

I hired 20 scouting staff members. I sent 10 to scout then used 20 for auditions. Shouldn't I only have 10 available for auditions?

Press the button. ;)

Yes, please.

These aren't bugs but things I noticed right away. I can't log in due to my username having a dash in it. Also, Lil Wayne is in the database twice.

I sent Mark a message asking for the time frame. It'll be sometime during the afternoon/evening. Greenwich Mean Time.

I apologize. I missed the update on it but you can have companies coach and train your acts. It's only in certain areas though. Here's a link (http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/News/Update-11Oct.php) to the information.

That's fine. I was bored and wanted to suggest more artists.

I highly doubt it. Don't take my words as fact, but I'm going off of the assumption that Mark would have to re-code for Android. I figure that's a different type of beast.

I'm not sure if we'll be able to train acts, but I assume the audition feature will let us create bands.

I'm not sure if they're all correct, but I added the parent companies.

Distribution deals would eliminate the excessive loss of funds and speed up the releasing process. I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement, but it'd be a much needed addition.

I'm hoping its not too late to suggest more artists. I'm not positive if these have been suggested, but I decided to list them.
