PRE-LIVE update: Creeping ever-closer to getting this big update out there...
2.13.168 - March 2, 2021 (pre-live Windows only)
MISCELLANEOUS:
• No longer ignore possible contract offers from small labels if your band is popular enough for larger label offers.
• Logic tweak to make it harder for computer bands to get signed, which may increase the available budget for labels to offer more contracts to player band.
• For contracts that require a specific producer, added an option to receive a smaller recording advance to remove that requirement. Good for self-producing bands or established bands that don't need large advances, reducing the recoup costs.
• Show popularity color/arrows on attitudes on musician profile screen.
• Include the band's earnings for each CD on the weekly sales report dialog.
• Darkened the main menu guitarist's skin tone, because he's not supposed to look like a white dude.
BUG FIXES:
• Fixed bug where playing a low-energy song when high-energy is popular resulted in using more audience energy instead of restoring it.
• Fixed bug with first-person controller not animating in hotel if you check in, then go to another first-person scene then return to the hotel.
• Fixed bug that allowed saving over an existing owned CD or banner design.
• Fixed issue where the hotel's living room mirror wouldn't work properly if you went into the bedroom then exited using X, then re-entered the hotel room.
• Equipment details now refresh when the the selected musician changes, so the bonuses are updated for the selected musician.
• Changed phone call wording "I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another gig..." to "I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a gig...", just in case your band hasn't ever played a gig with the calling band.
• Fixed bug that prevented Top 1/10/100 award not given when album reaches that chart position during vacation.
• Fixed lighting issues in venues that could happen if you're currently checked into a hotel or motel.
