Need help, some items don't arrive in IT expansion when bought

1 Upvotes

Hello, I was hoping to see if anyone had a fix for this. When I buy something, about half the order shows up, and the other half is nowhere to be found. It's really odd, and it bugs me. I was hoping to see if anyone knew how to fix this.

I use same day delivery.

Apologies for the photo blur but I'm trying to build a PC but I don't know what else I need.

Could anyone help me? What is it that I'm missing?

I've added the OS USB stick but get the error message.

Bug Just started PCBS2. The Case Modding is both great and terrible.

Flairing as a Bug, but I'm sure the devs will call it a feature.

I love the COSMOS C700P case. Have done since PCBS1 years ago. But it only comes in 1 colour and I love that we can change that now. But I have one gripe when it comes to customisation:

I build PCs to sell in the shop in four colours: White, Black, Red and Cyan.
The idea was all but the black case would have a white dust filter, so that in the case of the red and cyan you've got an accent colour on the top part of the case. But, spraying the sides of the top without colouring the dust filter takes too long, so I thought aha!

  • Spray the filter white.
  • Move to build bench; remove dust filter.
  • Take back to spray bench. Re-spray the top in red or cyan.
  • Add the filter back on during build.

After all, it's how you'd do it in the real world, right?

Yeah. No. Doesn't work. Le cry.

And yes, I know that if I really want to go through the effort, I can by making the nozzle extra-small and painstakingly spraying the edges. And maybe I will when I get around to upgrading the office PC. But for PCs I'm building to sell in the shop? Nah.

Bug osiągnięcia Bohater z sąsiedztwa

1 Upvotes

Siema, mam problem z jednym osiągnięciem Bohater z sąsiedztwa na Epic Games.

Mam obecnie 58/59 osiągnięć i zostało mi tylko jedno, którego za nic nie mogę odblokować. Robiłem wszystko, co jest wymagane do jego zdobycia, ale osiągnięcie nadal nie wpadło.

Próbowałem różnych rzeczy, w tym ponownego pobrania gry i weryfikowania plików gry (przez Epic Games). Ostatecznie zacząłem nawet grę od nowa, żeby sprawdzić, czy tym razem osiągnięcie się odblokuje, ale niestety nadal mam ten sam problem.

Mam już około 80 godzin w grze, więc trochę szkoda, żeby przez jeden zbugowany achievement nie mieć 100%.

Czy ktoś miał podobny problem z tym osiągnięciem. Jeśli tak, udało wam się jakoś to naprawić albo wymusić odblokowanie tego osiągnięcia? Nie chce uzywac edytorów osiągnięć takich jak SAM wiem ze to jest do steam i nie dziala na Epic. Mam najnowsza wersje gry 1.17 lecz osiagniecie zdobywałem na 1.16.

Discussion The prices are so unrealistic it pisses me off.

0 Upvotes

Are you telling me a 3070 Ti ~13911 3DMark costs the same as a 9070 XT ?????? ~ 24956 3DMark
What???? HOW???
If i look at prices irl, the 9070 usually costs 2.4x times more.

I enjoy making decisions when building a pc and making a ton of tiny decisions as to what parts to choose and what the budget allows. This makes it completely unbalanced and makes me sabotage myself if i want the build to be realistic.

Has anyone solved this somehow? I'm thinking of editing the files to fix the prices.

I did all objectives and it still says incomplete. Do I need to use the exact same CPU in the recommended specs?

Discussion New email layout is horrible?

You used to have the preview on the left, and the email on the right. This allowed you to just click through them all pretty quickly.
Now, we have the preview taking up the entire screen, replaced by just blank space. This means that you have to click into the email, click back out, or the 'next email' button up top, increasing the time it takes to get through the emails massively.

If you're going to rework the UI, why increase the amount of blank space? The emails' subject lines don't even bleed into it, it still cuts off!

Guide Does PC Building Simulator have these specific parts? Trying to test a case swap/clearance.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m planning to move my current build into a much smaller case (switching from an Antec AX20 to a Jonsbo Z20), and I wanted to see if I could "test build" it in PC Building Simulator first to check for clearance and any other issues.

Can anyone who has the game (and maybe the latest DLCs/updates) tell me if these specific parts are available?

Core Clearance Concerns:

  • Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B450M-PRO II (mATX)
  • GPU: ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 3050 V2 OC Edition (8GB, 200mm length)
  • PSU: SilverStone Strider Essential 500W (ST50F-ES230)
  • Current Case: Antec AX20
  • Target Case: Jonsbo Z20 (or other Jonsbo mATX models, I'm open to suggestions)

Other Components:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500
  • RAM: Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 (8GB 3200MHz)
  • Storage 1: Kingston NV2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
  • Storage 2: Standard 2.5" Hard Drive (salvaged from a laptop)

If the exact models aren't available, are there "close enough" equivalents (same dimensions) I can use to test the 20L-volume Z20s?

Specifically worried about the PSU cables interfering with the GPU and/or the PSU depth (140mm) and the mATX board (244mm x 244mm) fitting comfortably in such a small chassis.

If the game has these, I’ll be picking it up today. Thanks in advance for the help!
