Oh, hi @Mark, how's it going?!
I wanna ask somethings people may have asked before, but I just want to clear them up, if it's ok with you.
English is not my first language so I struggle with some options in the Editor, could you please tell me what they mean and how they affect the gameplay?Country Info:
1 - What growth is it reffering to, population or sales? How can it affect the gameplay?
2 - Does 5 mean more piracy or less?
3 - What does it mean, Max single sales/Album sales? How does it affect the game?
4 - What does it mean Single Streams for sale/Album track and how does it affect the game?Artist creation:
Legend
Artist current rating
Superstar
How do these work and how do they affect the gameplay?General question:
Is there a way we could tweak the sales/streams up or down in the editor or is it hard codded in the game?
Thank you so much for the game, you're the man!

Hi Mark, I decided to create this topic as an extention to the previous one, just to make things cleaner and easy for you, hope it doesn't bother you.
Original topic: http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Forum/index.php?topic=2243.0
The problem is sales for some singles goes missing after sometime, like a rollback. It happened previously for me, but all my singles got affected and I lost the save. Now it happened again, but with only one single.
1. I released 6 singles (+1 stil to be released in the list) from 2 different albums. They all made the top of the All Time charts selling 14 million each. But, as you can see, one of them are missing.
2. The name of the single affect is Naked and it's not that it flopped, it actually sold almost the same as the others.
3. What happened here, is that the sales were taken away after I loaded the save and they seem to be converted as stock.
As I said before, sometimes it happens with all of the singles, sometimes with just a few.
The save was sent, they were too big for normal attachments so outlook put them in onedrive, hope you can still get it.

I'm playing right now without any problems so far.
If I can I'll also provide more info.
-
i see that now you have changed release scedules to make them more spread out that only 1 song a week is getting released i was wandering maybe if it was meant to be that way or if songs are being to spread out i am only in my second month and already there are songs set for xmas 2019
If I understood you correctly, you're talking about AI release?
-
It was the AI who was sending me that far, tho. I had to tweak the copies down.
Right now I'm waiting on an update to see if Mark will fix the sales disappearing after sometime.
Just so on the same page, sales disappearing?
http://www.theroad2success.co.uk/Forum/index.php?topic=2243.0
BTW, you said you think it might be a save problem, but if it was a save problem, wouldn't we the entire progress, tho? The only thing we lose it's sales, the rest it's there, the tours, the singles released, the albums released, videos and etc. I really wanted to show you but I'm really out of time to play it right now. Hope someone else can help you with this.

To edit song tittle you should go to: Songs > Written songs > click on the song and in the end of the list there's a button called "Action", click on it and chose "Edit tittle".

Do you have scouting feature enabled?
Do you have scouting staff?
-
It happened to me right now, I also had 3 singles around 10 million sales, all three of them top 5 ww single record, but I closed the game and now 2 of the singles have 3 million each. That's why they are not showing in the All Time Chart Record, check your singles in your artist page, you'll see they lost millions of sales. lol
I can't send you the save right now, Mark, as I got the infamous blue screen due to a driver issue and I had to reverse windows losing a lot of things. But there are serious problems with the way the game saves sales data.
-
I dont believe you can re-release with new tracks. Shocking im forgetting but pretty certain of that. I'll check later on.
I, on the other hand, can add new tracks to it, but when I press "Confirm Details" in the end nothing happens on screen, but the album is confirmed, you just don't leave the screen and if you press that button again and again the game will release as many albums as you clicked on that, so the artist will exceed the number of albums in the contract and he or her will be droped from the label.
Just to let you know @Mark
-
Hi, Mark. How are you doing? So, I'm currently in June 2019, two singles and one album in. When I try to release a third single the game sets a date in February of 2020. Do you have any idea of why that's happening?
The artists current energy is at 89/100 and the artist schedule is free. No vacation up ahead and no hiatus.
Edit: Ok, so.
I don't know how it works exactly, but it happens depending on the amount of copies you set to manufacture for the release date. The more copies, the farther away the release date will be. So I just had to manufacture less copies to get a closer date.
Sorry.

I like many of these ideas, especially the album tracks debuting on the charts
the only idea I don't like is the label having to buy cerifications. It's could get really messy and add extra work to something not needed.

This is frustrating as some like the micro management some dont. Im thinking about it but as per my post in bugs ive been insanely busy with work.
I also like the micro management as I state before many times, the problem is some of the features aren't working well together. If you have the option to sim "1 month, 3 months, a year, continuously" you should be able to do just that, right? But right now you can't. It's not working unless you have an unknown character that will never get offers.
I do get you're busy, I just wanted to know if you read it and if you undestood what I was coming from. Thanks for the reply.
-
Mark, any idea of when or if you'll be messing around with the offer system?
I mean, this section of the game is useless if you have a popular artist in your label as the offers come at least every week and the Simming is interrupted.
Nothing? :(

It's not a reloading issue, the fields aren't communicating clearly right now, when you create something some places it just won't appear where it's suppose to, including
Awards Elements > Awards
Labels > Bands
Manufactures > Label Owned
Studios > Label Owned
Those are the ones I got so far
Don't know if you meant to fix these in the new release, but this bug still in the editor. I made a fresh installation.
When you create a new label, the new label don't appear in the "chose label" dropboxes, except for solo artists. Oh, I'm using the "complete mod" if that's important.
But if it is for a future patch, please ignore.

"7. Some things are quite unnecessary at the writing stages like hiring a mixer and vocal producer. One thing people like
about simulation games is that it's fast paced so people can forge ahead. If I spend only 2 hrs everyday playing a game
i dont want 30 mins of the game time to be spent on simulation"
I see people complaining about "how heavy" this game is in details, but that's not a bad thing. If you want a game with less work there are a few on the internet for you. For me what makes The Road To Success so interesting is the heavy details. And yes, it's time consuming to prepare an era, in real world it also is, but you can easily sim a year to save time in this game and in other games you have to sim month by month. That's saving time and clicks for you.
About the underlined text I agree, mixer and vocal producer is too much for the writting sessions.

thanks Mark!

It only happened to me when I didn't have any single/album to promote.
-
Also when the message about the songs being done appears you have to wait 7 days for the songs to show in the artist's database, right?
-
You know what would be nice? If when we start prep a tour there was an option to select an album to promote on tour, that way the selected album would have more longevity on charts around the world.
It's a nice and clean way to do it
-
After I accept the email .. I try to release the song as single or there is a special button for the soundtrack that would appear?
Accept the email first
and pick what song you want to use in the song database
It must be the same genre as requested in the email
No need to release the song, you just go to your artist produced song's database and in "action" will appear an option to use the selected song as a soundtrack.

Well I found the same problem with award elements, when I create award elements and go to create awards the categories I create don't show up in the drop list.
Need some help
