• If you load that pre audition save for the first time while the game is started everything will be normal, you get the random idol results with random rarity and stats. Hiring an idol will result in you getting said idol.
• If you load that save a second time (to try to save scum) the avatar results are the same as the first audition but the stats do change. The disconnect issue does happen though, you don't get the same avatar as the one you actually selected, you do get the stats as they were in the audition screen.
• If you load the save for the third+ time in a row, you now actually get different avatar results at the audition as well with different stats, the same disconnect issue happens as before.

Closing and starting the game before loading the save does clear the 'corruption', and you get the results as described in the first point .

So my guess is that the game doesn't clear/reset some variables correctly when loading a save while not closing the game.

Found a smallish bug while trying to save scum for a audition. When you save just before an audition, say just before you would click that A symbol, and then reload that save, the idols that are presented in the audition screen and the ones you actually get are disconnected. The stats and ability do stayed synced correctly.

To make it more clear, here I reloaded the save because I didn't like the results and tried again. These are my choices this time:

I hire the one selected and finish as usual. But at the introduction screen I get greeted by a completely different avatar

The stats are exactly the same though, only the appearance has changed.

And that is as clear as I can make it. From here on out the game uses the new appearance correctly and no further weirdness is experienced. This only happens if I reload and use the same 'prepared' audition, if I cancel and plan a new audition the disconnect doesn't happen at all.

I'll upload the 2 save games, just in case.
Save just before the audition.
Save after the screenshotted audition

This, surprisingly, actually worked for me.

While I did had to change hairstyles of some idols to hairstyles that were in the 9.1 version the save did load in the 9.1 version and spawned a different, closeable, event. Then that 9.1 save loaded fine in the 10.0 game and I could continue.

But it really isn't a viable, permanent, solution.

Yep also got this bugged event. After closing the game and reopening the auto save file the game continuous like the event didn't happen but after a week it pops up again in all its game ending glory, it really is a game ender.

Kinda disappointing that this bug is still here, considering it isn't exactly a rare bug apparently.
