New workstation - update

Hi everyone,

as mentioned in my previous News post, I am currently in the process of establishing a new workstation for myself, which will improve my working conditions greatly and benefits you by increasing the quality of "Summer In The City".

Things are not going as smooth as I hoped for unfortunately. The new mainboard I purchased seems to have some issues with recognizing certain RAM sticks. I've been trying to get my new system to work since Friday evening, to no avail. I can't even list all the things I've tried without boring you to death. I have hardly had any sleep this weekend.

All I can say is that I'm pissed beyond reason. It's not a cheap system, quite the opposite actually. I've built a few PCs in my life, and I've never ran into issues like that before. I hate to give up, but I can't afford to spend any more days with this. I need to get back to work on the next update, so I will hand the new PC over to a professional tomorrow and let him check it thoroughly. Wish me luck that he can fix it asap. I hope I won't have to switch out the board. That would cost me another couple of days at the very least.

You might wonder why I'm telling you this. I like to be as transparent as possible and this situation also had an effect the development by putting me behind my schedule for a couple of days. It also affects some new benefits I have planned for most tiers. I can't officially offer them as long as the new system isn't running properly. And I need to vent, haha.

I was so looking forward to finally post my first 8K renders for you. Ah, well... let's book this under "shit happens" I guess. I'll keep you updated on the situation. I will share a release date for the new update this upcoming week if everything goes well. Thanks for the patience and much love!
