In my experience turning off dof and global illumination takes you from 20 fps to 80 (1440p, rtx 3090)
Comment on Cities Skylines 2 dev stuck to launch date despite “potential kicking”
Chainweasel@lemmy.world 1 year agoHow’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.

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 load times 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.

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, 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.

A laptop with a 1660ti 6GB got me 20-25fps 1080p low to medium around 10- 20k population. But I turned everything down except for level of detail. Turning off Vsync somehow made it run around 5fps faster.

Those are pretty much my exact same specs. Asus TUF gaming?

Mine is a Lenovo Legion I got 3 yrs ago.

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

I am a firm believer that if you have a bleeding edge system you are 100% entitled to playing stuff in max settings (at least in reasonable resolution). I don’t see the point in blaming the customers when there is clearly a faulty product here.
Just to clear things up I am definitely not one of those people with the bleeding edge system with my 3060.
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year ago
100% a top of the line cpu and gpu should not have problems running the game on max settings. It’s so weird seeing everyone defend a game with terrible performance if you want to exercise any of the graphics options
Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I feel like some games want to future proof, so I could understand how there are graphic modes which are not feasible with current hardware.
NAS89@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t have a dog in this fight but bleeding edge literally implies that unreliability is to be expected. That’s why it’s bleeding edge and not leading edge.
whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
English is not my native language so I may have used the term wrongly, I meant “bleeding edge” as basically very high end.
ougi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
