“Cities: Skylines II” developed by Colossal Order was officially released on the evening of October 24. After half a day, Steam has received more than 6,400 purchase reviews, but the overall evaluation is only 45% positive or negative. Not the same.
According to Steam reviews, many fans who love the game are satisfied with the larger and richer management settings of the second-generation map, but more players criticize the settings and lags in the performance of the game environment.
This situation seems to be within official expectations. Publisher Paradox Interactive warned players in advance as early as last week, saying that the game’s performance benchmark performance did not meet their satisfaction.
Although there was a real performance problem, Paradox quickly took emergency remedial measures – issuing “Tips: Performance Optimization Guide“announcement.
According to the instructions, officials recommend that when the game is started, the system first processes the “virtual texture” step required for computer rendering updates, and then specifically reminds the recommended resolution of “1920 x 1080 x 60Hz” in the recommended settings. It is also recommended to disable depth of field and turn off volumetric clouds.
Finally, the guide also mentions three optional settings: motion blur, depth of field, and dynamic resolution, emphasizing that if the FPS is low, removing depth of field and motion blur may cause big visual problems, and dynamic resolution This can improve frame rates, but may make the game look blurry.
Of course, it is recommended that players who purchase the game carefully check the performance setting options before entering the game, or refer to the experience sharing of other players to find the best settings for the smooth operation of their own computers.
“Cities: Skylines II” developed by Colossal Order has been officially released on October 24. The Steam standard version is priced at NT$1,398 and will be available on Xbox Game Pass on the first day of release.
