It should send them on hiatus. Basically a stop while they train. I just did music writing coaching and it works for an artist, is this what you tried?

Good detective work!

There is a refresh routine which ive just changed to daily.

ok weirdly it worked day one for me. Wonder if this is another weird date issuing due to regional settings. ill add something to test this out. If this works ill do a big update. The game should be setting the default thread to a certain region to stop these errors but it appears it might not be workign so I might need to switch to an old solution. Some feedback on this after the next patch would be good.

The database size and what it is does is down to how big the database is. If you select the huge database: 500 bands need creating so the game reserves x number of artists for band members. Average of 6 members per band is calculation used. It will then load artist and band data from the database which uses up the numbers. Whats left is then passed back and the game will generate random artists/bands. It will do so checking what genres need more artists and also what countries are short to give a worldwide representation. If the database is small it will load by order of when they were added until the limit is hit.

A re-release is treated like is a new release it cannot be added to a previous album stats it would be unrealistic because reality is it wont sell really well. I cant win on this one because whatever route I take some people wont like it. The problem around streaming numbers is odd I have fixed a stupid bug where it capped streaming numbers to 10 tracks in error. The reason is album sales are calculated on the top 10 tracks. Now I know this might not be a rule in all countries but I wont be customising all streaming sales rules per country. So this bug fix should actually answer some of these issues. Im trying to replicate your issue using your save and will see what more I can do here.

I also coded in the UK rule for album tracks charting. Only 3 of the tracks can chart at all from an album. Ill let this update sit for a bit and see if this is better. Singles sales will be coming down too.

I see a problem with it but I dont see it listed as an album track at 37?

Please attach the save and ill take a look.

My machine is i9 with 32gb high clock rate ram. Ultimately I would not recommend the huge database. if a mod game out with thousands of artists this cuts out this process.

Worldwide charts appears to have gone mad for people but yet I didnt touch it so its very bizare.

You unlock artists in the start off with an artist section. I need a better way to let you know who you have unlocked. Or alternatively I could just make it so you select to have legends in the db or not.

I agree and ive made it harder I believe, let me know if you think its looking better.

Future addition around promotion etc. I decided to add it early. What I didnt do was hide it in the editor as it pointless it being filled in atm.

Anywhere between 8-12 months. There is a chance to this in the next patch however. Its more 8 months in the next patch across the board.

In the next release it will be around 16 months. I'll monitor this however as data space is limited.

Ok so I will always recommend you start it under a new database. The reason being is when the game updates if I have an updated realartist db it will override yours.

As for soundtrack data being there im running some checks on it.

Should do so ill have a look.

No not for this issue i just didnt have time to fix in yesterdays patch.

Weird its loading for me. Your save has moved on so are you able to share it? You can now attach to this thread ive upped the space limit.

Added something next patch to stop this. I cannot sort your save however sorry.

ok found this one tucked away. Weirdly never showed up evening searching the whole project for the word dance lol

The latest update comes with heavily reduced album sales. A work in progress but lets see how this is. I think Singles still needs more work down too.

ive made one change in the next patch to see if improves things here.
