I personally don't understand the problems people have with performance. I'm used to playing Cities 1 at 15 fps with 200k-700k cities.
Cities 2 is a game with modern quality graphic settings, not a 2015 game. What do y'all expect? It's not a twitchy FPS game. My Cities 2 city is only at 100k now though, with a 3060 btw.
There are those of us with an i9-13900k and 4090 that still can't play it decently.
What, how? Are you just leaving the settings at default and giving up? They basically have said what is broken. If you turn those settings off it works alright.
Could it have occurred to you that maybe I tried that and it was still shit?
No it didn't, because ive not heard of anyone else with that issue. Even just trying very low settings your system still struggles?
4070 here, in full-screen I could barely move the mouse cursor at launch.
What I'm noticing is that the first game had 2015 graphics and on a medium to large city runs at cinematic framerates (20-30fps). On Cities 2 the graphics are a mishmash of 2010 and 2025 graphics that run somewhat poorly, but also stutter a lot. On my 10k city I'm getting 45fps average with low-medium settings with the recommended changes to improve performance, but large lag spikes are frequent.
