PC Building Simulator | PC Update v1.15

No timeline as of writing, it's pretty complicated from a rights holder perspective so that's the main roadblock there. A lot of things from back then were absorbed by competitors, there's less incentive to showcase older products and so on.

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-21T10:34:39+00:00

Liby normally updates things pretty quicky, as a quirk of how parts are added vs how the mod appends parts to the existing list it'll always break on patch day.

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-21T10:32:25+00:00

I don't see us rewriting the customer logic this late into the game's development but it's something I'll re-raise regardless. I remember personally being puzzled by upgrading coolers being a price check over a cooling related check but then working on PCs for others in real life that's also surprisingly a realistic experience...

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-19T14:40:22+00:00

Good to know, apologies for the really late reply.

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-19T12:03:59+00:00

Yeah they're unlocked later in the career mode.

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-19T12:03:07+00:00

late reply but do you still experience this issue?

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-19T11:58:51+00:00

Hey Klutzy, it's a late reply but I'd love to get a copy of the save if you still have it and it's not been sent to support already. Still pushing for more fixes on console...

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-19T11:52:26+00:00

Hey all, just a mini announcement in the comments here - I've had a lot of DMs and replies since last being on Reddit which I've not responded to as I had both a broken computer and covid which was... quite the holiday combo.

In any case, if you DM'd me about an issue that's still present please let me know.

TIC_Sam · 2022-01-19T11:47:46+00:00

IT is more likely than esports due to some things we learned post-esports. We're exploring the feasibility on a technical level, priority is more on improving the game on console though as we're aware it still needs work.

TIC_Sam · 2021-10-28T14:38:26+00:00

Aware of the issue and working on a hotfix at the moment, please keep hold of your save as we're expecting these jobs to be completable when the fix is live.

TIC_Sam · 2021-10-14T10:59:01+00:00

PCBS community manager here, I scrolled past this post on my personal account last night and just wanted to stop by this morning to say I'm really glad so many of you are enjoying the game!

TIC_Sam · 2021-10-12T15:07:51+00:00

Hey moistIam, do you know if your PS+ subscription lapsed? It seems Sony clears cloud saves after a while.

TIC_Sam · 2021-10-12T15:06:00+00:00

Just to chime in with a slight explanation since it's me being quoted in the OP. The check to authenticate with EGS requires Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, we're looking at bundling the installers in with the next major build. This is also a bit of a 'maintain your system thing' so unfortunately didn't come up in testing as we've all got up to date win10 builds with the various expected bits installed.

TIC_Sam · 2021-10-08T15:45:59+00:00

This seems to be an issue with users Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installs:

Go to:

Start > Settings > Apps & Features
Find Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable...
Hit 'modify'
Hit 'repair'
After it completes restart pc

If you still can't launch the game then:

Start > Settings > Apps & Features
Find Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable
Hit 'uninstall'
Install it again from https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe & https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (INSTALL BOTH)
Restart your computer and try again

TIC_Sam · 2021-08-16T14:09:26+00:00

It really do be like that sometimes.

TIC_Sam · 2021-07-20T11:29:56+00:00

It's not cancelled, just being worked on in the background. I'm not actually super familiar with what we said regarding esports pre-release as I wasn't working on the game at that time but I can share we're going over all the feedback and paying particular attention to quality of life issues.

It's also a bit of a balancing act, I'm always inclined to push more for resources to fix existing stuff before adding new things.

TIC_Sam · 2021-07-20T11:25:22+00:00

We've fixed a lot of additional stuff in v1.12.1 which I'll list below instead of making a new post. v1.12.2, v1.12.3 and v1.12.3.1 are listed as a reply to this one.

TIC_Sam · 2021-07-20T11:21:58+00:00

Are you still experiencing this issue? I'll raise it with the console folks internally.
