Hello PC Builders,

This update lays the groundwork for further workstation customisation options by allowing you to swap the monitors used on the benches. With some cosmetic swaps in place now, we are working with partners to bring more screens, mice, keyboards etc. to the game in future updates.

Now when you reach level 30, you have the option to purchase these prestigious gold peripherals to celebrate your hard-earned experience level!



Along with new parts, this update also includes a whole host of bug fixes and some slight balance tweaks to the career mode.




To further increase workspace customization following the addition of peripherals in the last update we have now added the initial support for swapping monitors, starting with a selection of coloured DFL models to allow for some further coloured coordination to setups.
Now we have this support in place we will be working with current and new partners to widen the range of monitors available in the game in the future.

Please also be aware that we will be soon disabling the old Career branch on Steam that contains a very out of date version of the career mode. If you are for some reason still using this old version please make plans to switch to the latest version to ensure you get all the latest updates to the game. This old legacy branch will be switched off in the coming weeks.

Happy Building,

The PC Building Simulator Team

Hello PC Builders,

The team has been busy making a lot of changes to PC Building Simulator in order to be able to add the ability to swap peripherals such as keyboards and mice along with improving other various bits and pieces (some more visible than others) to make the game a bit more polished.

Lot’s to get through, so let's get right to the update!




Support for swapping peripherals is now live! In this update, we are kicking off with a wide range of Razer products which you can use to further customise your workbenches with. The items you can swap are:

• Keyboards
  
• Mice
  
• Mouse Mats
  
• Headsets

Please Note: Large (extended) mouse mats and headsets are currently only available to swap on your main office desk.
With this support now complete, we will add new peripherals in future updates.



In order to enable the ability to swap more items on workbenches we had to make some major changes to the current environment we all know and love(??). So we decided this was a good opportunity to rebuild it to support these kinds of changes properly. The overall layout and design have been kept but various cosmetic and functional improvements have been made. For example, there is now an extra light switch near the door!





In addition to the remade workshop, we have collaborated with Razer to create a brand-new workshop themed around all things Razer. This new space brings a fresh, open layout for you to run your PC business in and once purchased you will be able to switch between either workshop as much as you like in either Career or Free Build modes.

• 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,

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.

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.

These need little introduction but Steam Achievements are now live for players to collect and earn, there are 53 in total. Included in these are suggestions made by our community in a competition we ran last year.


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.

• Fixed various text overlap issues in various languages.

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,

The PC Building Simulator Team
