@Tusbame ohh okay. i'll have to keep expanding my city and see if i see the same slowdowns that y'all are seeing. thanks!

i seriously don't get how it can be so hard to optimize a game though. i'm a beginner game dev myself and while it is difficult, i don't feel like its a year worth of effort difficult

@jrshellbullets: yes, last time I played it in October it was still as it is in the video, same for many others, hence the many complaints in reviews and in the forums. Note I have played this game in multiple devices and performance is the crappy all the same.

100k is ok for me, though worse tit for tat against CS1. The simulation slowdowns start ramping up quickly after 150k or so though, for me anyway. At 250k+ people, stuff in the map move a little bit, stop for a couple of seconds, and then move it a little more.

is this something people still actively encounter? im on a save that is around 100k and its been fine so far. im not sure how well theyve been optimizing the game, since everyone seems to just dog on it so i can't tell what is and isn't actual information

it seems my 3600 + 4070 can RIP

lol :D

@WillSpringer: Yep. I have been in the same winter season ingame for almost as long as winter in real life as well, in this save game, lol.

@Karo: this was recorded in a 14900K and 4090 RTX computer, so yea...

RIP get a faster cumputer
