**Steps to Reproduce: **
Create music on the computer
The create music action never completes anymore.
I noticed this zoi being stuck like this before, and I just cancelled the action.
But this time she was (very) late for school and I see the action is complete, but never finishes.
She gets stuck creating her music.
I have this same issue with my zoi that programs. He does eventually finish, but it takes extremely longer than it used to and it appears stuck as well. I didn’t cancel the action, I just waited until he finally got up. But I noticed that I can’t sell the completed projects directly from the inventory anymore. They don’t show as complete, but can be sold from the computer under programming. I just assumed it took longer now on the 96 min because of the change. I’ve only ever used this setting, but it never took as long as it does now to create anything on the computer.
What length of day do you play on? It might be related to that. I know that the devs changed some things to adjust for different day-length playstyles, so maybe they messed something up there?
What I have lately noticed is that they actually do finish it but it looks like they were stuck. What I mean is that the circle for the action looks full like in your screenshot but if you then open the inventory and hover over the piece they are producing you see that it is only at 50% when the circle is full, so it actually takes them twice the time to really finish the piece. For programming it is nearly 4 hours and when the piece is at 100% they actually do finish the action and stand up. Could this be the case in your game as well @Samuriko ?
Nevertheless it is a bug either way as it is very misleading. The circle should only be full when the piece they are producing is at 100% and not 2 hours before it is the case.
I’ve noticed this as well with the latest update, and I’ve had similar issues with the programming action. I believe you can actually finish the piece, but once it reaches 100% you have to go back to the computer and press ‘continue’ again for it to register as complete. Not sure if the time taken to complete a music piece or an app has increased overall.
Based on what everyone’s saying, it seems like it’s an issue related to the longer day lengths. Hopefully, these things will get better optimized soon.
I was playing with the 48 min day. There the circle was full but the piece in inventory only at 50%. If you then let your Zoi continue, they will stop autonomously exactly when the piece in inventory is at 100%, it just takes several hours more time.
Now in another save I switched to 96 min day. And here the circle is full when the piece is only at 25% - so that means it takes even much more longer until the Zoi will bring it to 100% and autonomously stop.
The circle is filling at the wrong speed in both day lengths. It is just more drastic with 96 min day. They need to fix the circle filling speed to match with the activity length.
Hello everyone (@here),
Sorry for the inconvenience this issue has caused.
We’re currently looking into it. Will share any updates in this thread.
Thank you!
