Cities: Skylines 2 saw some difficult launch issues which have drastically impacted the game’s performance. The first of what looks like many patches states they’ve made minor improvements to the game, though it’s only available for Steam users as of yet.
Paradox have posted the patch notes for the hotfix only a few minutes ago stating the following:
“Today we have the first of several patches to improve performance in Cities: Skylines II. While this does not address all issues we are aware of, we wanted to get you these improvements as soon as possible. Unfortunately, this patch is only available on Steam today. We’re doing our very best to make it available on Microsoft Store as soon as possible.
This patch includes the following improvements and fixes:
- Changed LOD to be independent of rendering resolution to get more consistent performance with high resolutions
- Minor optimization with fog
- Depth of field optimizations and tweaks
- Global illumination tweaks
- Optimized stutters when buildings spawn/level up
- Optimized various stutters across all systems
- Fixed crash after upgrading wind turbine
- Fixed crash when car crashes into still hidden car with trailer
- Fixed crash with mesh loading (that happens with low settings mostly)”
It looks as though players on Microsoft’s game platforms will be seeing the update shortly, though there’s no telling when.
More to follow.
