Business stats not working? [b]

[Myk]

Hi there

I've set up a new business for Claude Lambert 3 days ago and none of the stats have moved from 0?

The business is called The Green Cipher.

I've noticed that all of Levi's businesses have not been able to gain popularity either. They sit at around 50 and I can't get them to go higher no matter what advertising I am doing and how I've set them to run.

It used to be very easy to get your stats to 100 so I'm confused as to why after so long, there has been no improvements with my businesses on two accounts.

What are the other settings for the business? How many employees do they each have?

One major change is that you need more staff to keep your stats high. I notice that you've only got one staff member. That should be okay for a new business, but not ones at around 50 popularity. What are your other businesses that are struggling?

As for the new business, are you not getting any tutorial messages each day to tell you what to improve? It does seem strange that they aren't increasing at all.

Claude can only employ one staff member and my alerts only say that I made a pitiful amount today, each day, followed by "debug". Claude is at level 5 for business.

With Levi, I have been experimenting with between 4 and 5 employees for each business and a range of advertising. Doesn't make a lick of difference. Just losing out on profits. Levi is at level 25 for business.

You might need to lose out on profits in order to raise your rep and pop. At least temporarily.

The debug message was to track down a bug we're reasonably sure is fixed now, which is unrelated to this.

Reputation sticks to 100 where Levi's businesses are concerned but popularity just doesn't do anything. Like I said, I've been experimenting with different advertising and I've been doing that for a month.

[Mooncalf]

Has it dropped below 50 at all?

[Myk]

Yes, it has. One of mine appears to be stuck at 48 (Levitan Logistics) and isn't rising despite advertising.

It was my first ever business for Levi and it's the only one that isn't providing any tips.

Whereas my youngest business, Security, is performing the best in terms of popularity (86).

What happens when you go OTT with every setting that might boost the seemingly stuck stats? Max them out and let me know?
