Hello PC Builders,

Apologies for the bugs some players have been experiencing since the big update last week, while we knew we had made some big changes to the game some of these issues we just never saw coming. Thanks to everyone who sent in save games and log files, as these have helped us fix up many of the issues for today's update.

The update today contains the following…

Build v0.8.1.1 Highlights

Save Game Improvements

To try and improve save game stability between versions and allow us to better diagnose save issues we have made some adjustments to the save game system:

• A backup version of your save game is created when a new version of the game is detected - these won’t be visible in the save menu but will exist in the saves folder.
• If an error occurs during loading a save game you will now receive a message telling you this (and stopping you from going any further) rather than allowing you to continue as normal and it being rewritten by autosave - this means when you send us a save game we can see the error being generated without the risk of it being lost due to being saved over.

CPU Air Cooler Rotation

Eagle eyed players may have noticed in pre-release videos there was an option to pick the orientation of an air cooler when installing on a CPU. This was disabled ahead of launch but has now been re-enabled to allow for further feedback and testing as we get quite a few requests about this!

New Parts

EVGA AIO Water Coolers

The EVGA CLC 120, 240 and 280 are now available to include in your builds!

Cryorig AIO Water Coolers

From Cryorig this update includes their A40, A40 Ultimate and A80 AIO coolers.

SilverStone Water Coolers

The TD03-LITE, TD03-SLIM, TD02-LITE and TD02-SLIM AIO coolers from SilverStone’s Tundra series are now available to build with.

Raijintek ORCUS 240 Water Cooler

If you like your RGB on your AIO coolers then the ORCUS 240 is going to be a must have in any build!

Raijintek IRIS 12 Case Fan

The 120mm IRIS 12 case fan includes full RGB support and pairs nicely with the ORCUS 240!

NZXT S340 Elite Case

Until now only the Hyper Beast version of the S340 Elite existed in the game but from today you will be able to build with the standard version in its Black, Black + Blue and Black + Red options.

Spanish Language Support

With today's update we have added support for Spanish, we appreciate the Spanish community's patience on this!
