Hello Mechanics!

The newest update has just arrived on Steam and we want to cordially invite you to check out what has been added to the game for yourselves.

We heard your response to the previous update and added a cart to the garage, which will allow you to carry multiple parts around. Now you won’t need to go shopping as often! :D

Now each and every item will produce a sound when hitting the floor - this should turn the immersiveness up a notch. We also added proper sounds to the window sprays - a thing we forgot to add last time.

When refilling the oil in an engine, the game will now display a window indicating the current oil level, which should help you be more accurate when pouring. Also the oil you spill on the ground will now leave oil stains on the ground!

We decided to add in a special warning, which will let you know if the number of parts present in your garage exceeds the preferable level and that the game might slow down should you continue to pile them up.

From now on you can also sit inside the cars present in the garage, car salon and other various locations.

Your Steam reviews are of great importance to us and give us an enormous energy boost, so if you like the game and the latest changes, we highly encourage you to write and post your review!

Hey Mechanics!

The latest changes we implemented into the game received a warm welcome from you and we are very happy with that. It is thanks to you that
we are headed to the games betterment. Because of that we decided to prepare a little surprise for you, but you have to wait until the next
week until we unveil more information about it.

We know how important the immersion is, so we are constantly expanding the list of possible interactions. We added the possibility to refill
the cars oil by hand - just look around the garage and you'll find canisters with which you can do it. The oil changing process has undergone
a major revamp. You no longer have to use the laser to drain the oil from the car. If you want to do it, simply unscrew the oil plug and let the
oil flow. Just remember to always use the oil drain when doing it so you don't make a mess!



We also added the possibility to despawn the parts present in your garage to compliment the latest patch in which we allowed you to spawn them.
If you feel like the parts are starting to overwhelm you, you can open the Inventory panel and press the designated button.
We tweaked the Warehouse, you can now choose among many warehouses and rename them however you like.
The VR settings also received some changes. We added a new option allowing you to adjust your height.



The items present in the shopping list can now be freely deleted from it. Every item on the list now has an X button near its name allowing you
to do so. We also tweaked the elements sizes so that the whole list is easier to read.




Change log:
Now oil refill works with physical oil canister!
Now it's possible to unscrew the drain plug with a tool and drain the oil!
Now physical parts are despawnable through Inventory icons!
Now warehouse name can be changed!
Added delete button to the shopping list!
Added physical oil canister
Updated shopping list
Updated rescaling physical part on do mount
Updated workbench translation
Height settings improvement
Correct player position set on start of Shed scene
Computer mice can reach scrollbar and car also scroll it through dragging
Inverted transparent material on right hand
Hand and tablet collision disabled during pathtest
Bolt tools can only snap to a single part at a time now
Warehouse and Repair table unlocked on proper garage levels
Orders Icon blocked on sandbox mode
Optimalization fix
Turned off moving away parts near car
Fixed hand watch
Fixed shop loading
Fixed rims in the Auto Salon
Fixed bug with moving parts into warehouse
Fixed mounting interior parts in the car
Fixed main menu lighting bug
Fixed keyboard in the tablet shop
Fixed engine stand model
Fixed hammer on the repair room table

Hello mechanics!

This time we focused mainly on improving the game's loading times. Our inner testing showed that the average time required to load a car was reduced from up to 90 to as little as 2 seconds! We hope that this improvement will allow you to enjoy the game without having to wait for needlessly long loading screens.



Another big step was adding the possibility to spawn and despawn any parts you want. The garage received two new areas indicated by green and red markings on the floor. All you need to do in order to spawn a part is open your inventory and click on it’s designated unboxing icon. The part should arrive in the green zone in the blink of an eye! If you want to remove excess parts from your garage, simply place them roughly in the red zone and push the red button located above it.



After receiving your feedback regarding our latest automatic gamemode changing feature, we decided to tweak it a little so it operates more intuitively. Check it out for yourselves!
We also decided to implement a new setting allowing you to adjust your in game height.



Also demo version of Car Mechanic Simulator has received a big update today.
After a month from the release of the full version of the game we decided to introduce the demo to the latest changes and bugfixes we implemented into the full game. We highly encourage everyone to give it another go and check out the latest update.



A full list of the changes:
-Added part spawn zone and despawn zone to the garage
-Added spawn buttons to the inventory icons
-Added geadset fades to operations relating engine stand and crane
-Added headset fade when selling cars
-Added teleport blockade and fixed floor collider
-Now cars will load much faster

Dear mechanics!

Last time we showed you what we were working on at the time. As our testing process is approaching an end, it’s high time we introduced you to our new system responsible for automatic assembly and disassembly game mode changing and also a system allowing you to disassemble parts that don’t have bolts on them by hand. Check them out and see for yourselves how they are working! We hope that the introduction of those systems will make the gameplay more enjoyable! Make sure to let us know how you like the changes!

Currently, our main goal is to make as many in-game activities as we can fully interactable, minimizing the use of the laser pointer. This update is the first of many updates to come, so make sure to check in frequently! Your suggestions and tips on what would make the game better are of great value to us, so make sure to keep them coming. If you would like to submit your feedback, be sure to join our discord channel, where we keep track of all of your messages and reply on a regular basis (https://discord.gg/46jXGSVdEE). Your engagement really keeps us going and points us in the way leading to Car Mechanic Simulator VR becoming the best game for virtual mechanics!

We want to inform those of you, who up to this point was not satisfied with the level of immersion provided by our game, that we are constantly working on new solutions and various enhancements and we highly encourage you to give our game another go. Truly a lot has changed!

Besides the aforementioned changes, we also implemented a wide range of smaller tweaks which you suggested. For example, the lighting was changed to make the engine chambers brighter and the shadows in overview mode were revamped. Now you will be able to better see which parts require your immediate attention.

Your Steam reviews are of great importance to us and give us an enormous energy boost, so if you like the game and the latest changes, we highly encourage you to write and post your review!

We will soon write to you again and present you with our plans for upcoming changes. See you soon!

Have a look at a video that shows the two most important features: disassembly of parts by your own hands and automatic change mode.

According to your suggestions, we're focused on improving the gameplay. We already have done the automatic mode switching for assembly and disassembly which means that you can now assemble parts without using the menu pie. In addition, many of the parts that were previously removed with a laser are now interactive with your bare hands. Here's a video showing how it works. Recorded by our tester:

We want to provide you a top-quality product, which is why we have already sent the brand-new build to the testing department. The changes will be added to the game really soon.

Recently, we have also improved the lighting of the garage and the examine mode!



We would like to thank you all for your valuable feedback. We have gathered every fix and improvement we made so far based on your comments, opinions, and reports.
Have a look:

• I bought a car in a barn and unfortunately had to find out that I had spent the $ 19,000 for free, unfortunately the car never arrived at my place and you just have to say that something like that just can't happen, it's really very annoying and has to be so fast be fixed as possible, otherwise it is no fun and no sense to continue playing the game. - DONE

• Only played for a few hours today. the primary bug I have ran into a couple times is when I was doing one of the very first orders after the tutorial, I was doing the brakes and the driver side caliper kept would not install onto the brake pad. it seems when i grouped it with the cylinder like you would a wheel with a tire, the game didn't recognize it as a compatible part. i was completely stuck and had to restart my game because I thought that i had to keep the original caliper since it wasn't apart of the order to change it. Then on the next order I did after restarting, the exact same thing happened with a wheel and tire. I made sure that the tire was the same size as the ones I was replacing. Definitely a bug that needs to be fixed so cars don't get stuck in our garages. Oh and idk if that's what the reset button is for but it wasn't working either. Ill be waiting for an update to fix the issue before I try playing this game again. - DONE

• Cars not appears in the garage after to buy in a Barn. (...but the game takes my money) - DONE

• Player spawn position in the Barn sometimes cause falling down into the "Abyss". (Problem when player spawns into a car in the Barn, I standing IN the car, when I move I start to fall... forever. I use room experience, not the teleport, possible if I´m use teleport option then I can teleport out myself from the car, but I´m not tested this.) - DONE

• I have: buy, and examination menu in the Junkyard when my garage is completely empty only. (weird bug, I have to move all the cars into the Parking house, or cancel / finish the contracts and after that I´m able to go to the Junkyard to buy a junkcar otherwise the "round" menu not appear in the Junkyard) - DONE

• Buy more car on one place (Junkyard, or on Auction) causing a game crush. - DONE

• I´m not able to sell MY cars. (the green icon is not there at the car info page) - DONE

• I'm on Quest 2, when going to the test track the car is rolling around like crazy and cannot be driven. - DONE

• Bug #1: VERY OFTEN happens, that my right touchpad on controller does not free turn. it is just stuck to return, tablet and such and it does not free turn my view in any way. I usually have to pres RETURN function for it to turn me again, which is very annoying. And it happens like three times in a minute, usually after some action like screwing in the bolts, putting tyre on the rim, etc. - DONE

• Bug #2: After finishing Diagnostic path in my garage with tablet in the basic position at front glass, I was unable to move tablet anymore. Could not move it, resize it, press button to leave the path, nothing. Luckily Return button did get me out of car, but still it was annoying, to not be able to scroll or anything. - DONE

• 2nd - Any time filter anything on the computer i cannot go back. Example is going into the "main parts" filter to engine. Im stuck there the back button takes me to the home screen and the tabs where it says brakes, exhaust etc do not do anything. - DONE

• Normal Mission Requirements: Replace 2 Brake Calipers, 1 Brake Disc. - DONE

• #1 Bug - When mounting and reassembling the brake caliper (left front wheel), the brake caliper vanished. It did not get installed and it vanished from the inventory. - DONE

• Story Mission (Probably 5): On an order to fix rims and engine parts and Radiator Fan - DONE

• #3 Radiator Housing and Housing Fan vanishing as well when trying to attach the parts. Bought the items 3 times, each time they vanish. Except that the 3rd new fan is still in the inventory and the original housing is on the floor. - DONE

• Update 6/11: This seems to be resolved on today's patch. Existing Radiator Fan Housing items still didn't work so I sold them and bought a new set. This one worked and was able to finish the order. - DONE

• Radiator Fan Housing B can't be installed again, no items found. Even though the set is in the inventory. https://imgur.com/H2GFSEh - DONE

• buying cars in barns is wasted money since you never get the cars you buy plus tablet is broken freezes to a page without being able to return to normal menu causing you to be stuck for example in a barn after buying a car in said barn plus the in-game web browser work 30% of the time and the categories button do f*ck all. to not be a c*nt i just want to say if you take on making CMS18 in VR please for the love of. fix all the bugs and glitches and problems people have or hand over this project to another studio - DONE

• computer browser becomes unusable after switching back to tablet. cant switch part filters. - DONE

• trying to install radiator housing B with the two fans. it assembles them but doesnt install them on the car, then the complete assembly shows up in my inventory and i cant do anything with it. since i cant install it i cant complete the job or go further in the game since i only am allowed one car in the beginning garage. now i have 3 fully assembled radiator fan housings i cant do anything with, this shouldnt even be a glitch come on guys - DONE

• And I can't sell any of my cars. I tried to sell 2 cars I probably never will fix but theres no sell button - DONE

• using vive pro I can not get the tabs in the shop to work and the scroll bar is turbo mode no way of finding a fuel filter, if I type in the search option the whole shop page goes blank, this is game breaking for me as I cant find the part to fix the car to get to the next job. ADD car status tab to the tablet having to pie menu status then grab the tablet is to many steps and helps clunk up the game play. ALSO the oil doesn't show on the dip stick when filling engine with oil - DONE

• I cant search for parts on the tablet, every time I try to type it tries to buy whatever parts is behind the letter I type on the keyboard. - DONE

Hey Mechanics!

We have an update 1.02 for you.

Over the last few days, we have improved several mechanics in the game. The biggest change is that now all parts are physical and you can grab them. Brake discs, calipers, etc. have to be manually lifted after unscrewing. We have improved the position of the dipstick/oil dipstick on your hand - also you can see it better (more clear) and check the oil more accurately. Sheds and cars bought in are now correctly transferred to the garage - you will no longer lose money buying a car there. Assembly of parts with several components is now possible! From now on, fitting a radiator or calipers will not result in a mistake with a waste of money and parts. The watch on your wrist works as it should. Check the most important information on it now! The sale and purchasing of cars have been improved, now the window on the tablet is displayed correctly. The summary screen in the shed has been enlarged and can now be seen better. Minor fixes added to improve the stability, smoothness, and performance of the game. So the game should run better (btw let us know!). We added a shopping list (on a tablet) so every time, you will know exactly what do you need to buy from the store. We improved (a lot!) HP Reverb G2 support, Windows Mixed Reality support, and Valve Index controllers support. Oh, last but not least... we've added Sandbox mode!

Full list of the changes from 1.02 update:
- Changing the position of the oil dipstick
- Improvements to making shopping in the shed
- Interactive physical elements added in the whole car
- Assembling of elements with several components
- Reassembling elements with a screwdriver
- Watch
- Selling and buying a car
- Enlarged summary screen in the shed
- Stability/performance improvements
- Tire changer fix
- Notes update
- Sandbox mode added
- Video and audio options enlarged
- Changed colour of prices in shops,
- Keyboard lock on the tablet (now you can't accidentally click on items behind the keyboard)
- Added text informing that 'no parts were found in the shop'

PS Update 1.01 has been launched last Friday. We're working on the next smaller and bigger updates. More to come even this week!

Here are some recently added gameplays from the CMS VR:

Hello Mechanics!

Today we introduce you to the first update (1.01) of the game.
It contains multiple adjustments, which we were able to implement thanks to your feedback. Some of the features were revamped to match your suggestions so as to make the game more enjoyable.
We are thankful for all of your comments and hope that thanks to you we will be able to make CMSVR fulfill all of your expectations. We highly encourage you to feel free to contact us on both steam and discord, where we will gladly discuss all of the game's features with you and hear your suggestions. We are waiting for you! Below you will find a summary of the latest changes.

- First and foremost we added the audio options to the tablet and lowered the initial volume of the music from 100% to 30%. If you want to find the options, simply press the designated button on the tablet, and work your way to the Audio Icon. The radio still has the ability to change the music if you feel like it.
- The bottles received proper glass breaking sounds.
- For HTC Vive Wand controller users, we changed the key bindings a little bit. From now on, the player’s rotation happens not when you touch the touchpad, but when you press it all the way. That should eliminate unintentional rotations caused by finger slips.
- Also, while going with the option of smooth movement, crouching now happens when you press the middle of the touchpad and not its bottom so now you won’t move back accidentally while trying to crouch.
- The main garage lighting was enhanced, the whole room should now feel more radiant.
- Before, the cars could sometimes repair some of their parts on their own when transitioning to different locations. This should no longer be a problem.
- The in game shop received a new ability to maximize and shrink its window if you happen to find it troublesome to navigate through it. The buttons responsible for performing these actions are located in the top left corner of the shop window.
- The computer mice were readjusted and should now have a more pleasant feel to them.
- The paint room should also no longer cause you any trouble, allowing you to paint your cars the way you want.
- The wheels! The tires should now always match their rims. We know it was a recurring issue among many of the players.
- The tablet should now always be grabbable when you are on the track scenes.

And that should be about it in terms of the bigger changes. A full list containing all of the minor tweaks is present below. We still encourage you to rate our game and comment on our ongoing efforts, because only thanks to you we will be able to make our game better! We want it to give you as much joy as possible and promise to give all that we have got to make it come true. We hope you will stay with us! Thank you and see you later!
