win only first Mad game awards from the list

[ryankc]

normally I sweep with little to know issue but this time when the awards pop up i always win the first award but the rest don't even load, My guess is that my 650 employees and all there animations lag the awards list to only give the first one. the rest of the category goes blank no other company or games claims them???
you know anyone

Have you already checked the award history to see if no awards were given?

In either case, an old/weak computer may indeed have some lag issues with that many employees around, but I've never had that affect anything other than my patience. My own computer can handle around 600 employees 'fine' but any more than that causes the game to lag, and even take a few seconds to open any lists or windows.

thank you for the suggestion, i checked ans had won every award, but still but game boost bonus is only 5% as if i won only 1 award???

It should be applying all bonuses, so there's something else going on. I have not purposefully overloaded my computer since I figured out what the safe limit was, so I haven't done a lot of testing on what it could mess up.

I am on the last week of the eleven month and so just dismssed like 150 pople and 2 large rooms, to make space and still, its 1986 in my Marathon throughput on medium difficulty I did put check the history events button but it would have shown :(

[Kyouko Tsukino]

These kinds of issues are usually not retroactive. If it already didn't give you the bonuses, firing everyone won't make the game give you the bonuses, but they may help you getting them on the next year.

600 employees in 1986 is overkill, and that's from someone who has a hundred people around at that year (which some players already consider "too many employees.") I mean, for a gimmicky run releasing ten games a week, I could see myself using that many people. :)

Apologies( i mean i reloaded a save to the 11th month and did whatever i could think of. but again it didn't work). I'm just gonna role play this in my head as everyone else trying to take me down with mis-info and smears and i diluted the market so much. ,I have like 54 billion and only refuse to buy out console owners cuz that would really ruin the game

What made me wonder recently: got the best game award for a 92 game, even though I had a 94 game on the market at the same time.

I don't know, what the game was referring to in this case.

Your game may have been released last year with 94%. The fact that it is still being sold does not make it an awards participant.

Hi, thought on that, too. But both games have been released the same year.

Additionally, I had two more 93% games released also in that year, so the awarded one was the "weakest" of them..

It was a port from console to arcade cabinet, by the way, but I think that doesn't matter.

Awards take the best X games of each category so that's not surprising. Had plenty of '98%-100% in this category' games of mine beaten by other games of mine which had less % in the category. For me the trick is to flood the market. When the best 10-20 games of the years of all categories are yours, you've basically bought all the lottery tickets (unless, as in this case, a bug is happening.)

It's one of many "good" things about RNG-fueled gameplay mechanics.

Ah, ok. Thank you.

But that RNG doesn't seem to work on the graphic/sound award? :D
I rarely win an award in this category..

The fun thing about RNG, being a completely random thing is that even "80% chance" can mean someone, somewhere, rolls that dice fifty times and doesn't get the right result once. This is even physically possible, "chance" doesn't determine a certainty, but the complete opposite. It's why placebo "methods" exist. People who get lucky tend to pair up their luck to "I was doing X at the moment" and then if within the next fifty tries, one lucky roll happens while they were doing X, they take it as a 100% confirmation on "doing X" being what made the lucky roll happen.

I don't know how many games of each category the game takes (my best guess is less than fifteen, as one game per month gets me the awards almost every year,) or how/if their quality weighs anything, or if it's measured differently by difficulty. I just know it's a very obvious RNG roll happening, as otherwise my one game that has X graphics points would win the award, and not my other game with X-Y graphics points. (X and Y in lieu of actual numbers because this happens all the time on my end, so it doesn't matter what X and Y are, as long as X is higher than Y.) If "the best" was the absolute best of the year, I would know which game would win every time.

I just "head canon" it as it being just like a real "awards ceremony" where the judges get paid to make a certain game win even if another game's objectively better (and this doesn't just apply to games, the Oscars are more fake than the Big Brother TV show.)
