Hello PC Builders,

As mentioned last week we have been working on adding Dual GPU support the game and today we are pleased to be able to release that work.



The initial implementation of being able to add 2x GPUs to your builds is now complete, you will now have the option to add a second GPU after the first when building a PC and if that setup requires a bridge it will then connect the two cards together.

Currently there is only the one SLI HB bridge type available (the EVGA one in the image above) but we are working with other partners to add theirs so you can match them better to your selected cards in the future. Flexible SLI/Crossfire bridges will appear where applicable.

As ever, this is Early Access and this is a new feature, so as much as we test things as much as possible it doesn’t mean you won’t run into a few bugs. Please do report these as you have been doing and we will fix them when we can.

• Dual GPUs are now an option when building PCs.
  
• The Tool Upgrades from Career Mode are now available in Free Build.
  (When in Free Build you can find these in Freebuild Options menu when pressing ‘Esc’)
  
• You can now reset your Free Build mode save via the option in the above Freebuild Options screen.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Diagnose and Fix job that meant it didn’t appear correctly.
  
• Fixed being able to remove the top case fan section of the C700P case before removing the actual case fans.
  
• Fixed benchmark jobs appearing that require a score of 0.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Auto Cable tool on the NZXT H440 case would connect the CPU fan to the wrong place.
  
• Fixed incorrect CPU height data for the PAEAN case, you should now be able to install a wider range of CPU coolers.
  
• Fixed the Purple + White NZXT H440 having the wrong colours.

Please Note: Some fixes will not apply instantly if a job or build is in progress in as save game when you update versions, they will need to be a fresh job or save to apply.

Please continue to post your bugs and feature requests in the usual places, there has been some really interesting ideas we are keen to include going forward.

Happy Dual GPU Building!

The PC Building Simulator Team

Hello PC Builders,

Over the last week we have been hard at work going through all the major issues players have been having since the last patch and today's update should go a long way to fixing up a lot of them.

Feature wise we are currently working on bringing Dual GPU support to the game and we are aiming to have this in your hands by next week should all go well.

With regards to additional languages, we have French, German, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese all in progress and they should be available to use in the coming weeks.

• Random jobs no longer stop when you hit level 20, they will now continue to generate but your level will not advance.
  
  While Career mode will evolve in time, we know people didn’t always want to start a new game just to get new jobs so this helps with this for now.
• You can now invert your Y axis for you mouse in the options menu.
  
• PCI covers can now be sold for $0 so you can finally clear them out!
  
• The temperature cut out for Threadripper CPUs was too low which was causing issues with machines blue screening before they should.
  
• Alt-Tabbing should hopefully no longer reset your game resolution.
  
• Alt-Tabbing will no longer skip 3DMark benchmarks.
  
  We are aware that people liked this shortcut but it was a bug… we are working on additional stress test options to make this process shorter in some jobs.
• The main menu should no longer become unusable when a save game is damaged.
  
  We still need more help working out what is causing save games to corrupt, if you get a damaged save please send it to us on support@theirregularcorp.com so we can review it. Unfortunately if your save breaks like this creating a new one is the only real option until we find the cause.
• Adjusted the way available resolutions and refresh rates are detected and displayed in the options menu, this may or may not help people not getting their refresh rate to stick.
  
  This is a tricky one to debug, hopefully this helps people with the issue but feedback would be useful!
• It was possible to get blocked in the Grandparent job if you originally built the machine with a motherboard that didn't support the CPU request later on. You can now swap the motherboard to continue the job.
  
• Removed the time limit from one of the early tutorial jobs as it was possible to get stuck with the job if you didn't complete it in time.
  
• Updated part checking so that the Job Status should detect part improvements more efficiently.
  
• The Job Status checker should now be smart enough to catch when you try swapping the required component for a worse one before shipping a job back.
  
  What kind of shady operations were you all running anyway?!
• Fixed an issue causing completed jobs to have a red square with no message in PC Status which blocked it from being cashed in.
  
• Cooler Master C700P fixes:
  
  • No longer have to remove the back casing to install the motherboard or insert the USB Drive.
    
  • You can now put the front cover back on once you have removed it.
• You can now put all the PCI covers back in the Corsair Crystal Series 570X case.
  
• The fan hub on the NZXT H440 cases should now work correctly.
  
• The SilverStone NJ520 PSU had issues with its CPU power connection which was causing issues with various builds, this should now be fixed.
  
• Parts removed from the Cooler Master H500P now have actual names like they should.
  
• Various over small component fixes that should mean less building errors overall.
  
• Added AMD to the splash screen.

Please keep posting your bugs and feature requests in the forums, they are all being looked at and they help us out hugely.

Happy Building!

• Icons in the taskbar are no longer draggable out of view.
  
• The missed delivery email should only appear once per day.
  
• Orange job highlight is always visible
  
• Lower quality 3DMark videos for lower end (real-life) hardware to improve performance.
  
• The shop now updates correctly when you level up.
  
• You now need to restart the PC before installed programs appear on start menu (sorry!)
  
• Email/Shop no longer accessible in Free Build mode.
  
• Shop search button now works if you press it with the mouse.
  
• Text in System Info app should no longer overlap each other.
  
• Unplugging the external PSU power should no longer reset the ‘Boot PC’ status.
  
• Cables should no longer drift away from the PC when continually using the Auto-Connect tool.
  
• Multiple clicks of the ‘Pick up PC’ button in an email will no longer spawn the case on your head when it is stored in the cupboard.
  
• Fixed an issue with the job status not appearing on post-it slots.
  
• Fixed an issue where open ram clips were not highlighting.
  
• Fixed ‘back’ account typo in opening text.
