[Chart Records Error]

On 2/26/2021 at 10:25 PM, MrDash said:

I noticed that the following chart records are exactly the same:

Top selling vs top selling debut, Top selling Male vs top debut male, Top selling female vs top debut female

Another thing is about the continent record. Some are missing the values entirely.

I have also observed these things for all album records as well.

Additionally I think that the "Most no 1" and "longest no 1" are not displaying correctly. 

Just to update. All of these issues persist with the latest patch (921).

[End of Year Report]

Just want to update, the end of year report is working properly now, thanks a bunch!

However, it would be best to put the names of the top selling single/album in the list too instead of the name of the artist alone. Cause I see my artist's name in several positions but don't know which songs are they meant for. Same goes for the top tour list. But I hope it's not too much work cause there seem to be a limitation of space for more information in that place as well.

Thanks.

[Top Sales List]

For the top album sales, the total sales (combining CD+digital+streaming sales) were listed but for the top singles sales only physical and digital sales are shown. I think the total sales for the albums should exclude the streaming sales right? Assuming that these lists only count pure sales that is ...

Ive so far made two more adjusts to try and balance this out a bit.

Reduced the top end sales figures, reduced the reduction rate slightly to compensate that so to not reduce total sales so much. I have also slightly increased how long the releases stay on release.

Im trying to get the sweat spot but still allow truely great releases to do well.

Ive also made writing harder now as well to stop it being so easy to get great releases and also same for when producing.

For you information, there are more album tracks in the singles chart now than before lol. In my game, for example, the US singles chart has around 50-60 album tracks (more than 50%). I think this should be tweaked as well.

Im assuming you have a very good album there, very high ratings? There has to be extreme examples allowed. You have 100 rep, great release. Good promotion, hype etc its going to push the real higher limits of success.

Yeah aware of positions problem, its just not refreshing properly, thats been taken care of just now in my next build.

Yes the album has great ratings. Only some adjustments are needed in the song details area as the emergence of album tracks messed up the display again lol. But I hope the CD and digital sales info for singles with the same name as album tracks are shown.

Lets see how it goes and I can make more changes for Mondays patch.

So the question around how many tracks. Im surprised 7 are but this is where I think I have to do more work on smaller countries.

During the second week after my album release, Mysterious Love, 10/12 of the album tracks appear within the top 30 position of the US charts.

 

Issues here:

1. The current position and peak position is not accurate for all of the album tracks.

2. The song Mysterious Love was released as a single a few months before the release of the album. So, here there are two versions of the song charting in the top 10. However, the single version is missing the data on CD and digital sales (only streaming is shown under the details section).

3. The single, My Limit, which is number 1 in the charts was released during the same time as the album release. So, I guess the streams and sales for that song are merged with the album version? Cause I noticed that there is no album version of this song in the charts.

4. When I click on the details of these album tracks, there song name/album name becomes stuck and starting to show the same name for all songs in the charts. Album names also appear wrongly in these songs.

The sales numbers have changed in this coming version.

Not that I'm complaining, but now I have up to 7 album tracks charting in certain North American countries lol. But I like it that way cause it seemed realistic. 

At the North American Singles & Albums chart, if you scroll down the list of countries, there is North American continent mistakenly displayed right at the bottom. I hope you can remove it.

And for the Asian Singles and Albums chart, the list is missing data for the bottom 7 countries (Jordan to Kuwait.)

I think if you get enough points you can unlock legends (Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, etc)

I see. Thanks!

I just got a notification that I've received some legend points during the gameplay. What exactly is this and how will it affect the game?

When making an award show and selecting the continent and country. It allows you to change the continent but then the list of countries to choose from stays as African countries (even if you choose europe for example).

In this case, what I did was I filled in the award show elements and update the award first. And then I go back to award show details and now I can select the country that I wanted.

The numbering issue is fixed next patch.

What I just cannot understand is why you have two entries for the year 2021.

Yeah, it seemed to create a duplicate instead of showing the proper data for that particular year.

You will see some changes in both albums and singles.

You can see multiple tracks form an album but id be very surprised if you saw more than 2/3 max.

Actually, I'm expecting more than 3 album tracks to debut and stay in the charts since my albums usually get high streams and can chart on streaming alone without physical and digital sales. But we shall see how it goes.

Thats a real interesting bug. Can I have your database to try out?

You can try it out from the database I sent yesterday (the email regarding end of year error). Thank you.

Thanks.

Okay so I did another new game. And I was able to see the list again for all categories.

But the numbering on the list is wrong (starting from 100, 101, ...) and when I tried to view data from 2020, the same data from 2021 is being displayed. Current year is 2022.

This I can adjust by myself in the editor. For some reason, he's listed as from the UK in the original database lol.

Wait I just checked and it said he's from Spain. So definitely a bug.

Another example of award show with winners in all categories:

Okay so I did another new game. And I was able to see the list again for all categories.

[Award Ceremony Display]

I edited the award show and its elements. During the round up of the ceremony, there seemed to be something wrong with the display. This ceremony has 15 awards but only 14 had actual winners. One of the category (British RnB/Urban Single) had no winner because there are no UK-based urban artists yet in the database. This messed up the display I guess.

Another award show. Here I see two categories without nominations and wins (best collaboration award and best rap single).

Hey 

 

For some reason the game hangs up when its simulating.  Will this be fixed on the next update?  also, I have noticed that my artists arent winning any awards. They have sold a lot of albums.  Can that be fixed also?

Thanks

 

My artist too have the best selling single and album throughout the year but didn't even get a single nomination in any award ceremony. Not sure if this is intentional or a bug.

What was the date you started the game? And any chance of a save? I asked because im not able to replicate this.

If you zip up the particular saved game folder you can then attach it to this post .

I started a new game and the date I chose was 1 December 2020. Actually, here I just want to test if the reports are working. Unfortunately, I have deleted my previous saves.

When you release this single, the second last song then takes its place as a non album song. 

Yes exactly! I noticed this in my game too!
