I am hopeful for this. Playing it on day one, I reported a garbage management bug on the official forum: only to be told it was "by design", and yet still game-breaking.

The performance woes got all the press, but the game was fundamentally broken. It was nearly impossible to lose. Too many services for a small city? Here's free "government subsidies" that you also can't shut off when your city is successful. Don't have garbage service? No problem, a neighboring city you have no control over is gonna handle your trash -- for free.

I hope this is finally a step in the right direction, but I'll never understand why it took a year to listen to day 1 issues. If the game had been released Early Access the response would have been better all around. Performance issues need to take second place: if the game isn't fun, I don't care how it performs.

I decided to test it even though I'm done with the game. On my 110k pop city I ran it for 2 hours and simulation speed pre patch was 1.2 and is now .06 - 0.8

The performance is back to where it was pre optimization patches.

Sometimes you need to take two steps back so later you can take one step forward, ok?

Edit: seems like quite a few people didn't understand the joke, 2 steps back and 1 forward is still 1 step back, they are slowly getting worse

It's almost a year and the game isn't even in the expected day 1 release state.

Does it matter at this point? They lost a lot of interest in this game.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

A lot of people are waiting for the game to be fixed to jump in.

I was just watching CityPlannerPlays stream where he was trying the new patch out, and oh boy has the game changed totally. It actually looked like a fun challenge instead of the money printing simulator that it was before.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Let them get back on track with their DLCs and then we'll see the money printer whir back into life. Paradox gonna paradox.

Still too car centric.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How is it car centric? Walking is the most op mode of transport in the game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Seriously dude? It doesn't even have bicycles.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Ok it doesn't have bikes but walking and public transport are so over tuned its impossible to actually have traffic issues. If you don't want to make a car centric city you can easily not make one.
