I Downloaded it myself and have about 5-10fps in the main menu on a RTX3090 64GB , 3950X. Most of the reviews say the same. Colossal Order are suggesting you should play on very low detail. I was a massive fan of the original having played Sim City since 1993 but I cant even get into this. It shouldnt have been released so early IMO
It's too bad. I'm hoping the devs don't give up on it and get it fixed because other than the horrific performance issues, the potential is there for it to be a worthy follow-up to the first game. Though the modding situation also doesn't help things...
I just can't buy it in its current state. I'll stick to modded C:S1 in the meantime.
out of the loop on this.
What's the modding situation for CS2?
They're not supporting Steam Workshop, they're using a homegrown mod marketplace that's still in beta.
It sounds like the best thing to do is follow the patientgamers approach for CS2.
Check back in 18 months and see if it is worth the cash then.
It is an excellent approach for most recent games, but a must for paradox ones.
And for all releases of Civilisation. Wait till at least the second expansion pack before purchase.
I give it 6 months but I'm just on low dose copium.
Sounds like they want to earn more money and don’t hand a 30% bag to valve. DOA
Game's still selling on Steam. And to my knowledge, Workshop integration is a "free" service to both the publisher and player (supported by the 30% sale cut).
