Cities Skylines 2 dev says it stuck to the original CS2 launch date despite expecting potential backlash, and details a patch to address performance issues.
How’s the frame rate? I saw some reports of 7-12fps from systems that kick the absolute shit out of my 2 year old gaming laptop and had flashbacks of wasting $50 on KSP2, which I still can’t play despite exceeding the minimum specs.
So I figured I’d wait to hear from people for a week or so this time instead of potentially wasting money on release day.
There’s a lot of entitled people who are upset because they kicked everything to ultra and yeah , that’s where that 7-12 fps is. Most people can’t fathom fiddling with the settings a bit and maybe lowering them.
The dev sent out a forum post on what settings are causing the biggest lag. I followed their advice and it is completely playable. I’m about 10 hours in and I’m loving it
Can you send that forum post? It would have been cool for Paradox to have put a link in their useless launcher, or the steam news, or in the launch announcement, or wherever else. My observation is that Volumetrics and Global Illumination make the game run like garbage, but with global illumination off entirely, the game looks flaaaaaaat.
A laptop with a 1660ti 6GB got me 20-25fps 1080p low to medium around 10- 20k population. But I turned nearly everything off except for level of detail. Turning off Vsync somehow made it run around 5fps faster.
I was getting 7 fps in the main menu before poking at the settings, but my VII is damaged due to a new faulty 1kW psu that suicide-bombed my machine. I’m amazed it works at all, tbh.
Ultra with 1080 and no motion blur (e: and no AA), I’m getting the same as I got in 1 on 1440 (25-30, also with half dead gpu). I have hope that the additional fixes will bring it on par with 1 for fps.

Definitely sealion vibes from this comment 🤡
Definitely clown vibes from your whole profile, you little joke
Edit: this guy’s such a freak lol
That’s a big conclusion from such little info, so that says more about your clown ass lmao.
Also the belittling is quite funny, it implies that you see yourself as the lower person in the convo 😂
In my experience turning off dof and global illumination takes you from 20 fps to 80 (1440p, rtx 3090)

Those are pretty much my exact same specs. Asus TUF gaming?
Mine is a Lenovo Legion I got 3 yrs ago.
I’m getting about 30 FPS with 2090
The key though as far as I can see is to make sure it’s on the SSD, that speed up level streaming pretty quickly.
Vsync also doesn’t work, but I haven’t had time to figure out if there’s a workaround.
I don’t know who’s reporting 12 frames per second but they must be running on a potato. It’s definitely not well optimised, but it’s not that bad.
