• Added be quiet! logo to the splash screen.

Work is now underway to add a feature that we get requested a lot, the ability to swap the mouse, keyboards and monitors used on the workbenches. Our original workshop environment was never designed to handle such a feature so as part of this implementation we are having to rebuild this environment which has added to the work quite a bit but it should be worth it to allow further workbench customization via swapping peripherals.



While this work is ongoing we are continuing to work to bring further new partners to the game in the future to further expand the range of parts available.

Happy Building,

The PC Building Simulator Team

Hello PC Builders,

There’s been a couple of small patches over the last week to fix a few of the more common issues you all have reported to us.

This is what we have been fixing:

• Fixed an issue that caused some save games from failing to load when advancing to the next day.
  
• Fixed an issue with non-modular PSU cables being counted towards cable objectives in jobs (this meant the objective would fail even though the player couldn't actually swap the cables).
  
• Fixed an issue with the top fan slots on the GamerStorm New ARK 90 where EKWB case fans would block each other incorrectly.
  
• Fixed the missing power button cable in the GamerStorm New ARK 90 case.
  
• Fixed an issue in the Fractal Design Meshify C where the reservoir would block the GPU even though it was nowhere near it.
  
• Made some improvements to try and stop PC’s being generated that have parts blocking each other.
  If you have a PC that currently has this issue, the job will need to be discarded as the fix will only work for newly generated PC’s after the update.

Thanks for all the save games and images everyone provided for the issues found - they really did help us get to the bottom of them much faster!

Thanks,

The PC Building Simulator Team

Hello PC Builders,

A very busy launch has highlighted various issues we wanted to fix as soon as we could so here is a small hotfix build that fixes the following issues:

• Fixed the maximum PSU length of the Thermaltake View 91 case.
  
• Fixed an issue with some top case fan and radiator slots being blocked by the dust filter on the Thermaltake View 91 case.
  
• Fixed being able to add/remove front case fan brackets while the fans are still in place on the Thermaltake View 91 case.
  
• Fixed the maximum GPU length allowed in the Thermaltake Core P5 cases.
  
• Fixed the wrong PCI slot screws being used when installing a GPU in the Thermaltake Core P5 case.
  
• Fixed 4 slot NVIDIA SLI bridges not appearing where they should.
  
• Fixed the Overclocked Edition cases appearing in the shop if you don’t own the DLC.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Raijintek Ereboss blocking RAM meaning neither can be removed.
  
• The generic SLI bridge will no longer appear on RTX GPUs when in a 2 slot configuration. NVIDIA NVlink bridges only support 3 & 4 slots configurations to no NVLink bridge will appear when two RTX cards are right next to each other.

We will continue to monitor any issues being reported and fixing them where we can in future patches.

Thanks!

Hello PC Builders,

V.1.0 launch day has finally arrived! This momentous day brings with it 3 brand new partners to the PC Building Simulator family.


GPUs from NVIDIA need little introduction, but we are incredibly pleased to be able to include the Founders Edition GPUs of the GeForce GTX 10 series. This includes the GeForce GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1070 Ti, GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti.
In addition to these it also includes our first RTX GPUs in the form of the Founders Edition GeForce RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti!


Thermaltake have been a much requested addition to the game for a while so we are very pleased to be including them in this release with a selection of some of their most popular parts such as the stunning View 37 and View 91 cases along with superb cooling solutions like the Riing Plus RGB LED case fans.


Deepcool and their GamerStorm brand are exciting new additions to the game bringing with them some unique case designs we haven’t been able to include until now. The striking Quadstellar and Tristellar SW case designs are a must for any high specification build! Alongside these they also bring with them their expertise in cooling, with a range of CPU coolers and case fans, including the open-frame MF120.

It isn’t just new parts in this release though, the whole team has been working hard to fix up as many bugs as possible and polishing up areas that needed further love before we shed our early access banner.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_pMegnuCH8


To celebrate the exit of Early Access we commissioned the super talented Brock Hofer (creator of the Hyper Beast designs) to create 2 exclusive pieces of new case artwork for the NZXT H500 and H700, these two new case designs plus the complete original soundtrack make up the Overclocked Edition version of PC Building Simulator.

We have completed work on the soundtrack for the game which means another 6 brand new original tracks are now included (one special track in particular), bringing the total track listing to 10. Remember, If you would like to own this soundtrack outside of the game you can now also purchase it via picking up the Overclocked Edition DLC.


Some applications have had a new coat of paint, there are new icons for the GPU Tuner, Bongle and Market app plus whole new looks for Bongle and Market apps.

If the last 10 months has taught us anything with PC Building Simulator it’s that big updates always come with new issues (even with all the testing we do!) so we will be keeping a close eye on any urgent issues and addressing them as soon as we can.

More interestingly though, we have another new partner in the works plus we are currently looking at a much requested feature - peripherals! We know lots of you really want to swap things like keyboards, mice and even monitors so we are looking to see if this is something we can add in a future update.

Thanks as always for all the support we have had during Early Access and we hope that continues as we enter the next chapter of the game!

Happy Building,

Hey PC Builders!

If you listen closely you can hear the sounds of the whole of The Irregular Corporation hard at work adding the finishing touches to version 1.0 of PC Building Simulator. Get ready to blow out the dust and boot up on January 29th, when PC Building Simulator leaves Early Access.

When we launched PC Building Simulator into Early Access back in March 2018 we had little idea if anyone would even want to play a game about building a PC, let alone love it in the way the community does right now. This ongoing support meant we needed more time to add further parts, bring on new partners and add all the obvious features we (and you) believed the game needed which is what we have been doing ever since.

These updates have included hundreds of new licensed parts from current and new partners alike, alongside big features such as overclocking and custom loop water cooling. In addition, we also took the time to improve the career mode based off plenty of feedback from our wonderful community.

We have now reached the point where the core feature set of the game is at a place where we feel we can shed our Early Access skin and bring the world of PC Building Simulator to an even larger community. This doesn’t mean development has ended, far from it. We have plenty of plans for more parts, partners and features in the future.

Version 1.0 of PC Building Simulator that launches on the 29th January will include lots of new parts from big names in the PC component world, Steam Achievements and as many bug fixes as we can possibly squeeze in! Plus some nice surprises as well.

A special thanks to all our Early Access testers, your feedback has been invaluable so far. Today we have released a new trailer that includes some of the amazing PC builds that were submitted when we asked for them last year, we had hundreds of submissions and had no way of including them all but thank you all for taking the time to share your creations with us.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsDkc7v07gk
We hope you will all join us on the 29th January to celebrate the next chapter of PC Building Simulator!

Thanks,
The PC Building Simulator Team



Q: So the game is dead now?
A: Not at all, development is going to continue as we still have lots of new parts we want to add and some exciting new features. This just marks the point at which our original core feature set is now complete.

Q: Will current Career save games work in v.1.0?
A: Yes, there are no plans to force players to restart their career saves.

Q: How often will updates occur after v.1.0?
A: As regularly as content creation allows, it is hard to provide exact timings but expect them to be slower than during Early Access so we can have bigger updates and allow for more testing before they go live.

Q: Mac version?
A: Hopefully. We have been running some internal tests on a Mac OS version and if we can get a version running properly we will look to release this when ready. No promises at this stage though!

Greetings fellow PC Builders!

Can you create PC Building Simulator's Next Dream Build?

We are looking for some truly epic showstopping rigs, that you've made in Free Build or Career Mode!

(And we mean epic, not horrific, with cooling tubes entangling it like a dying spider).

The best builds will be shown in our ‘Community Dream Builds’ trailer!
All you need to do is send us your save file for a chance to be featured in it!

Please head to our website for more info on how to upload your save. https://www.theirregularcorporation.com/community-builds

Hello PC Builders,

Are you ready for the next step in your career? Back in March when we released PC Building Simulator we never really knew what parts of the game players would enjoy. Of course we really hoped the Career mode would be one of them, and were pleased when it turned out to be the case!

We have been gathering feedback on this mode for a while now and over the last couple of months have been re-working various parts of the Career mode based on community feedback and our own wish list of things to fix. Today we are ready to release the bulk of these changes to get further feedback ahead of coming out of Early Access.

Please Note: As mentioned in our previous update existing save games are no longer compatible due to the amount of changes being made to the game. If you wish to continue with your current Career progress we have made v0.9.1 available via the Steam Beta Branch named: career_v1. You can switch to this in the following way:

• Right click on PC Building Simulator in the Steam client
  
• Select ‘Properties’
  
• Select the ‘Betas’ tab
  
• Select the ‘career_v1’ beta from the drop down box.

This version will no longer receive updates, so once you are completed with it please select the ‘None’ beta option to get the latest version of the game again.

A big thanks to all the closed beta testers of this update, your feedback was extremely useful, as was your bug reporting.



There is a lot of changes but here are some of the highlights:

Clearer Pay
Jobs rewards are now split by labour and available budget to allow fairer pay for the work completed.


More Information
Players can now see the specifications of the PCs coming to them before they arrive.


Business Reputation
Customers now rate the work you do and your reputation adjusts the types of jobs you get. The new Bongle app allows you to track their feedback!


PC Bay
We have made various adjustments to how PC Bay is used by players by expanding its functionality. It now offers pre-built systems alongside regular parts and has a fluctuating market so keeping an eye out for a bargain is key!
In addition, you can now sell your own pre-built PCs via PC Bay.
A new Market app is available that allows you to monitor PC Bay market trends so you can make some extra cash by buying and selling when prices are right!


Available cases are no longer stored in the storage cupboard, instead you will find these in the inventory (Press ‘I’ or click on the shelving in the workshop). You can store any completed PC builds in the cupboard as normal.

Due to this major rework to the Career mode of PC Building Simulator we will be gathering your feedback and fixing up any critical problems over the coming weeks.

We will then be working on the road to v1.0 and our exit out of Early Access, so we will be hard at work adding new parts and polishing up various aspects ahead of this. There are still lots of exciting announcements to come!

As many of you have seen, we are currently testing Steam achievements. These will go live when ready, but they are likely to do so with v.1.0 of the game.

We look forward to the updated Career mode feedback.

Happy Building!
