Bank Simulator · published · build 26280810
Hello bankers,
This update fixes a crash on some laptops, rebalances marketing and teaches the loan desk step by step. It also brings a long list of fixes from your reports on Discord and through the in-game F7 panel. Thank you for every one of them.
New
- Coffee machine in the CEO room: make yourself a coffee, drink it, then toss the empty cup into the bin.
- Loan desk lessons: each new loan office level now shows you its new checks with guided applicants, one step at a time. Each lesson plays once per save, in order, even on an older save.
- Field of View slider (Settings > Display).
- Large Text option (Settings > Display) for bigger text on every screen. It is on by default on Steam Deck.
- The Cash Runner now loads the armored truck parked at the bay.
- Unopened loading area boxes sell back for what you paid.
- Vault shelves have no limit, and an empty shelf sells back for 70%.
- Borderless is now the default display mode.
Balance
- Marketing: each campaign now promises a number of customers it can really bring in (half the old number, same price), and the business customers it brings pay twice as much as before, 4 to 5.5 times a teller fee. Marketing office upgrade goals were halved to match.
- The Cash Runner's case holds $1,000,000. Armored car levels 1 to 4 hold $750k, $1.5m, $3m and $6m.
- Notifications stay on screen long enough to read, from 2.5 to 10 seconds depending on their length.
Crashes and performance
- Fixed crashes at the start of a new game on laptops with Intel Iris Xe graphics. The first seconds of a new game also freeze much less on these laptops.
- On Windows, if the game crashes within a minute of loading a save, later launches clear your graphics driver's shader cache, a common cause of repeated crashes.
- No more lag when grabbing cash.
- No more hitch when opening the pause menu.
- Frame rate cap on PC: a cap below your screen's refresh rate now works, and Settings shows a note that V-Sync is off while it is set. A cap you picked long ago, which never worked, is reset to Unlimited once, so this update does not turn your V-Sync off.
Controller and Steam Deck
- Text is bigger and easier to read on Steam Deck.
- B leaves the manager's computer screen again after using F7 or the mouse.
- B works at the loan and bond desks.
- The controller camera works after day 3.
- Loan stamps work with a controller.
- The controller works again after closing the F7 panel.
Fixes
- Mac: fixed green glowing spots over the office desks.
- Day 1: the trash goals finish even if you binned a bag early.
- You can no longer get stuck on the teller counter.
- Removed an invisible blocker above the bank's roof and hidden walls at the front steps of some houses.
- Armored truck: it is set back on the road when you get out and when a save loads, never sinks into the road or a fence, and a truck that already sank is lifted back. A hint tells you how to use Recover Car when it is stuck. The truck camera now follows Invert X/Y and Mouse Sensitivity.
- The Cash Runner reaches every vault shelf you can, and never locks a vault you opened.
- Saves whose names differ only in capital letters no longer share furniture, so deleting one no longer empties the other. New saves cannot use such a name.
- Older saves lose their duplicated paper boxes.
- Customers no longer squeeze between desks placed close together, and the door no longer jams when people walk in and out at once.
- The door now counts free teller spots as well as free chairs when letting customers in.
- Job applicants no longer all share one look. Customers with the same face get their own name, ID number and birth date.
- Russian customer names, and long hiring requirements now wrap.
- Under the UV lamp, the hologram seal now sits on the printed seal of every ID.
- Market cards show how many you bought and how many you can buy today, "+N more at Level X" for owned items, and "Next: $X" only when the price changes. The shelf picture now shows the walnut shelf.
- A full profit box says "Press E to collect", and you get a notice when a profit is turned away.
- Checkout says Not Enough Money, and the teller's Approve button tells you why it refuses.
- The bond desk, hand tablet and manager's computer fit ultrawide screens.
- Bonds office money packs land on the desk, and loading area boxes no longer float or overlap.
- The mouse cursor no longer disappears on the main menu after the welcome message.
- Removed the orange light strip under the CEO room's glass wall.
- Chinese, Japanese and Korean text shows correctly on the teller screen, and text is no longer cut off with "..." in many places.
- The empty cash bag lesson no longer stops halfway.
- The F7 panel never leaves the camera stuck over other screens. F7 reports now include the game's log files and your graphics settings, so we can fix graphics bugs faster. Your user folder name is always hidden.
- Translation updates in all 18 languages.
Keep the reports coming through the F7 panel or on our Discord.
