Performance could certainly be better, but it’s good to be playing this game! Can’t wait to see the performance improvements and mod support coming soon. I will say it is amusing to see the meltdown of so many people reviewing it on Steam.
I’m just hoping to get more traffic! My city isn’t too big yet, but I’m looking forward to the puzzle of improving efficiency, especially since I’m nowhere near a pro in street designs.
Played for about 5 hours and have enjoyed all of it!
Initial thoughts about the gameplay: So far it’s great and feels like a good step up from CS1. Seems to be “harder” to generate a positive cash flow, especially if you have no outside connection in the start. There are some things to get used to and things that work differently compared to CS1 so I keep messing things up for myself. And damn some buildings are huge!
There are some issues thou: Performance is an issue but not nearly as bad as some reviews/Steam Reviews made it out to be. I have a quite old CPU and a 3070, and happily play at 1440p with medium settings (have not done any manual tinkering). Had some weird issues in the main menu (map images disappeared), and one wired hard crash 10 minutes after launching the game first time. Also get some graphics glitches/artifacts at times, but nothing I would consider major
The main menu is really weirdly laggy. I can actually get better performance in game than in the menu which is odd.
I think the problem is that any performance optimisations you do don’t actually apply to the menu until you restart.
Have you checked the notification window in the bottom right of the menu to see if textures are still processing? I have the issue as well and it dissapears once it’s finished.
