Hiya, Same issue is still arising - however I can now press the "Start!" button and it takes me to a loading screen, where it stays "loading" for a good 3-4 minutes (before I force quit). I wish I could try and explain what the issue is but I can't, and I realise you can not replicate it which is annoying as it would be great for you to be able to rectify it. Hm. What kind of computer are you running the game on? Have you tried waiting longer for loading. 3-4 Minutes doesn't sound that long, depend in the computer you have. Hi, sorry for the late reply. Been on holiday and having a few "me" days before heading back to work. My computer isn't that bad. I mean, it runs a fair few high spec games (think Planet Coaster/Zoo etc). It ran the game first time I downloaded. I updated and it stopped, which is what I find really odd. I have deleted every file of the game and started fresh download and it still creates issues. I also understand waiting a little bit for loading the game but I can't even enter my own name or anything. I can press continue (without entering/changing anything within setup) and that is where it freezes.

Re-installed this and it works perfectly. Not sure why the next versions don't work.

Where to start... I really enjoy the game, while it works, but it tends to crash quite a lot. Autosaving every turn would be nice. I think the game is too ambitious in this stage of development, as there are some functions than you can try to use, but doesn't work at all (like franchises), and a few than doesn't work properly (networks asking to renew a tv show 3 times). The 2-step topic request of the TV shows is confusing, should I give two different set of topics, or the same topics every time... I really don't know. Having the genre(s) below the title of the movie/tv-show in the production wizard would be nice, as there are times when I rushed to production without looking the genres, and sometimes going back locks the tv show/movie (you can continue production). It would be nice to be able to create new seasons of cancelled shows, and trying to sell the show to a different platform (like when The Expanse started in Netflix, and then moved to Amazon Prime). Also, I think the TV shows menu of the library needs an update, It would be great to see at first sight which TV shows are running, which aren't. which ones are in production, the seasons remaining. There are very little showrunners for the TV shows, compared to the number of movie directors... Beeing able to hire a movie director as a showrunner would be nice.
Some of the nationalities in the database are wrong. Beeing spaniard I find strange every time I see Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz as mexicans, when they are both spaniards.

Hey! Love this game, especially with the new TV show section! Loved my ten-season American Revolution show, starring Jon Hamm in a multi-award winning performance as George Washington. And my "Seek Shelter" post-apocalyptic family survival show starring Matthew Perry as the dad...I killed him off in what I thought would be the series finale, but getting rid of Perry really took the show to new heights and it ran seven more seasons. Haha.
Just a few bugs I've noticed:
1) When writing another season of an existing TV show, it doesn't automatically load the overall themes and plot description of the previous season. Rather, it loads the overall theme and plot description from the last season you wrote of ANY show. So I'd be trying to do a new season of Seek Shelter, but it would be automatically loading the themes from the American Revolution show, and vice versa. Every time.
2) Sometimes I'd be offered a contract to do additional episodes of a show, I'd accept...but when I advanced to the next week, the game wouldn't recognize that I'd already accepted and would make the exact same offer again.
These aren't bugs, but questions:
1) Is there a way to see how much I'm spending on cast, and especially how much they'll want next season? I got myself into trouble when I accepted a series renewal contract that paid less per season than I was having to pay for cast alone.
2) When writing another season for a show, what do the different color stars next to a character/actor indicate? Is it how popular those characters are? Can I kill off characters of a certain color or something?
3) DOes how much I spend for directing, CGI, production quality, sound, etc actually matter on TV shows? I took them all the way down to zero when I realized I was paying more for cast alone than my budget allowed per episode...but despite apparently only hiring directors who were willing to volunteer without pay, the show continued to be a huge hit.
Thank you!

One more question: Is there any benefit to staying under budget for a TV show? Like, if they're giving me $8 Million per episode and I'm only spending $6 million per episode. Do I get to keep the difference?

I know you have probably whole list of changes you want to implement, so I will be grateful if you just look at my suggestions: (1) small icons/photos of the characters next to the role name (2) option to load characters from different franchises to the movie/tv show (3) small icons/photos for each franchise (4) option to merge and diverge franchises during the game (5) option to add nationality (6) disabling word "[...] Adaption" from showing in the title each time you make a adaptation of the source (7) in "Our Source Material" option to see information about the sources (there is blank page only with option to make a new movie/TV show)

This issue really drives me crazy. There is no way I can replicate it on my computer, so I have no idea how to fix it.

Thanks to a post a few up from here, by Atherton, I have managed to fix the issue. I know you mentioned previously about deleting a database file, but wasn't aware of the location of it. This has since fixed that issue. All good now

Suggestion:
I popped into the editor to see what this is about... There is no option, that I could clearly see, to take me back to the main screen. I press on exit and it shuts the game down entirely.
So unless I am missing something, could you please add a button that takes you back to the main screen? Thank you.

Ive had to make 4 new games for this but everytime i get up to like 5-6+ years in the game. I save the game and won't load back up. I click the autosave one. That loads up but for some reason it doesn't let me forward time. If there is a fix please help me as I'm in love with the game but this has been throwing me off it a lot recently.

Game breaking glitch. Time just stopped, and movies just stopped being released. The writing process continued, but releasing movies was impossible, and the save was broken. Note the year was 2022, and aging is on. I love the game, but there are just too many game-breaking glitches for me to get into a save. Will try again today to see if it happens again.
