It’s unclear exactly what the developer’s standards threshold might be, given the mess that was deemed acceptable enough to release in the first place.
This should be the top comment. Anyone even considering the game at this point should really avoid it out of principle. The only way things like this will stop happening will be when people STOP BUYING SHIT-PERFORMING GAMES!
I bought it and refunded it, which I rarely do. I could run it fine, but some of the implementations didn’t seem done
Refunds hurt more than not selling a unit. So it’s actually a good thing you did it that way.
I did the same thing when I pre-ordered. I didn’t know it’d be this much of a clusterfuck. This feels almost as bad as KSP2, which I wanted so, so badly to be good…
Dude. I got KSP1 way back when it was in crazy early alpha, before steam. Loved that game so much.
I haven’t even considered getting 2 at all. I actually forgot about it.
Well, supposedly the devs have finally implemented autostrut in the upcoming update. I’m just in it for the multiplayer, which is going to be stupid fun if they don’t fuck it up. As an actual aero engineer, I’ve loved KSP since before I could remember, really.
Why did they release it in the first place if it wasn’t up to their standards?
Paradox probably wanted money now rather than later
X Doubt.
They are going to be released on the same schedule they always were.
until performance fixed to our standards
So… right away, then? 😉
I highly doubt since the game has Paradox as the publisher
They will release paid extensions instead.
Still won’t run for me on steam for Ubuntu. Paradox launcher has exited, thanks paradox
Arizona State Univeristy self-imposed a ban from going to a bowl game this year in college football to address their recruiting violations…they’re 2-7 on the season…same vibe.
I personally don’t understand the problems people have with performance. I’m used to playing Cities 1 at 15 fps with 200k-700k cities.
Cities 2 is a game with modern quality graphic settings, not a 2015 game. What do y’all expect? It’s not a twitchy FPS game. My Cities 2 city is only at 100k now though, with a 3060 btw.
There are those of us with an i9-13900k and 4090 that still can’t play it decently.
What I’m noticing is that the first game had 2015 graphics and on a medium to large city runs at cinematic framerates (20-30fps). On Cities 2 the graphics are a mishmash of 2010 and 2025 graphics that run somewhat poorly, but also stutter a lot. On my 10k city I’m getting 45fps average with low-medium settings with the recommended changes to improve performance, but large lag spikes are frequent.
