Front Office and Auto-Manage
- Faster, safer toggles: Front Office changes now update immediately and save in the background without repeatedly refreshing the entire world.
- Staff assignments fixed: Hired specialists are now recognized correctly, including Head Bookers, Trainers, Medical/Physio staff, Talent Relations, Scouts, Marketing Directors, Production Managers, and General Managers.
- Clear hiring requirements: Every Front Office card now shows the exact position needed for that job.
- Smarter Hire buttons: Hiring from Front Office now opens Staff Market already filtered to the required position.
- Medical automation repaired: Medical/Physio staff can run Medical directly and no longer require an unrelated General Manager assignment.
Guided First Show
- Visible guide targets: Steps after opening the Segment Editor now point to controls on the correct screen.
- Cleaner editor handoff: The guide now asks players to close the Segment Editor before continuing when necessary.
- Faster recovery: Skip This Step appears within seconds when a step cannot progress instead of making players wait several minutes.
Stability and Live Booth
- Duplicate-window protection: Rapid relaunches and Windows activation races now bring the existing game window forward instead of creating extra blank windows.
- Selected microphone respected: Live Booth now opens the exact input device selected in Settings.
- Better USB mic detection: Quieter microphones and continuous speech are detected more reliably, with clearer troubleshooting messages.
