2.27.208 - July 2, 2021

BUG FIXES:
• Fixed bug that was preventing "Help Wanted" from showing on mini-map location tooltips.
• Fixed bug that showed a renamed manager's original name on phone calls.
• Fixed equipment trade-in value calculation for business skill. It was calculating trade-in values too low.

MISCELLANEOUS:
• Increased band's rate of popularity increase by 5x based on song popularity, after a recent update limited song popularity based on hit potential, but didn't compensate for how that would affect band popularity gain. Hit songs matter a lot!
• Perpetually save which tag you're filtered on in the salvageable songs screen, so you can choose a tag to represent salvageable songs, and that screen will always default to showing only those songs.
• Add an extra confirmation when salvaging a song that has at least 1 popularity already, since it means you've played it and people like it.
• Show "Gig on X Date" on location street labels when booked at the location in the future.
• Save game exports now automatically include the currently installed "City Data" and "Wall Art Types" user-generated content, so I can load exported save games with all the proper content.

A small update, but some cool new skirts for the females.

BUG FIXES:
• Fixed bug where the new "Auto-Discover Locations" option wouldn't work unless you unchecked and re-checked it after launching the game each time.
• Fixed bug that prevented entering small venues when you have a custom band t-shirt design that has 0 distributed.
• Fixed pathfinding bug from Duluth, MN area to nearby areas west of that, which were resulting in travel times that were longer than intended.
• Fixed bug that was preventing contract reputation value from saving if greater than 0, making it reset to 0 when reloading the game. This negatively affected your chances for getting recording contracts.
• Fixed bug that was miscalculating your band's average popularity per city in a given region so that it was lower than it should be. This negatively affected your chances for getting recording contracts.
• Fixed bug in photo studio that wasn't properly updating musician controls when moving them to different spots.
• Fixed issue where you could click wall items in homes, hotels/motels, and art galleries if they were behind the foreground UI elements, making the UI elements unresponsive.
MISCELLANEOUS:
• Changed popularity display during gigs to show the regional total instead of world total. For example it is now (city popularity / region popularity) instead of (city popularity / world popularity) since world popularity total isn't really used for anything.
• Changed patron names to be two columns instead of one on the "About" dialog.
