    Favorites *still* broken after six months

    How is this possible?

    I thought with the update last month that it was finally finally fixed when I saw this:

    [All Platforms] 50 track limit removed from Favorites feed
    [All Platforms] Already played tracks will not appear on the main page of Track Central

    And it did seem to be fixed at first glance. However I just now loaded the game for the first time in a while and noticed my Favorites seemed to be missing some. Sure enough, when I view Downloaded I see a total of 72 tracks, all of them have the option to "Remove from Favorites", so I should have 72 in my Favorites, right? Nope, I have 42. Tracks I had added to Favorites months ago are just gone.

    One more thing, regarding that new "feature" so an already played track won't appear on the main page of TC. A side effect of this is when I play a new track then up-vote it, the track disappears. I have to filter for Downloaded, which requires a ton of button presses, then search through dozens of tracks to find the one I had just played, so I can add it to Favorites, and then it doesn't show in my Favorites anyway because of course it's still broken.

    How is it possible to keep such a basic function of TC broken for so long?

    I know... The tool for making sure we can always find things won't keep them and won't show them to us, the tool for saving things so we always have access to them deletes those things, and the tool to remind us to go back to something forgets them after a week or so. I swear, it's like we're only given tools ironically.

    Can we get "Favorited" added to the search criteria, so we can actually find and order all our favorites? Can manual Downloads not delete things unless we manually delete them? Can Play Later just friggin not do anything? What sadist went to the extra trouble to track and expire our Play Later marks?

    This is easy stuff here, and the most important part of the game. We're not asking you to put people on the moon.

    New patch December 12th. Looks like a very small update compared to before, I guess they've largely given up now.

    It includes this:

    [ALL PLATFORMS] 100 limit for downloaded tracks removed
    [ALL PLATFORMS] 60 track limit removed from the Favorites Feed

    So in the patch a month ago they upper the max number of Favorites from 50 to 60, and now they're removing it. Although that's the same language as the previous "fix" so maybe they just changed the number from 60 to 70 and called it a day. None of this looks to resolve the issues I mentioned above with only 42 of 72 Favorited tracks showing up. Oh well, maybe next year.

    i'd rather have small patches than them trying to fix 100 different things at once. Better to focus on a little at a time.

    Yeah, we need to know what the NEW limits are, and the limit wasn't the only problem with favorites.

    That's not how teams work. Different people know different parts of the code base, and multiple people can work on things at the same time. The sparse number of changes in this update suggests a skeleton crew of 1 or 2 people left. Notice the lack of Track Central work going on. This is as good as it gets, unfortunately. So much for all those promises soon after launch about significant Track Central improvements. We can't even rely on basic functionality of downloading and favorites.

    [changes maxFavorites=50 to maxFavorites=60] - Problem solved!
    [next month changes maxFavorites=60 to maxFavorites=70 ?] - Problem solved again!
