Colossal Order, the developers of Cities: Skylines 2, have released a statement addressing the issues that players have been experiencing since the game’s launch. They explain that the game’s ambitious graphics may be causing performance problems on certain hardware. However, they have provided a guide on how to optimize the game’s settings to improve performance.
The developers acknowledge that the game’s graphical fidelity may be causing severe hitching on some hardware. To address this, they recommend disabling certain graphics settings to boost performance. They assure players that sacrificing some visual effects will significantly improve the game’s framerate.
Colossal Order has provided a comprehensive guide on tweaking the game’s settings for an optimal experience. They advise players to wait for the “virtual texturing” process to complete, as it can cause lag in the main menu. They also recommend specific settings, such as resolution, depth of field, volumetrics quality, motion blur, and dynamic resolution, to enhance gameplay.
Post-release, the developers will focus on removing stutters, optimizing GPU and CPU utilization, and implementing any necessary optimizations. They aim for a stable 30FPS, which they believe is sufficient for a city builder game. However, they will strive to achieve a stable 60FPS in all situations.
Despite the performance issues, Colossal Order assures players that they are committed to improving the game and providing the best possible experience. They appreciate the feedback from the community and will continue to work on enhancing the game’s performance and stability.
