In the wake of an unpleasant launch for Cities: Skylines 2, Colossal Order CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Mariina Hallikainen has actually released a brand-new blog post resolving the game’s problems and outlining a few of the repairs that are currently in the jobs.

Hallikainen states that the workshop’s objective has actually remained the very same: “We want to bring you the best city builder ever made! And as I have grown older I am no longer afraid of the marketing department, so no holding back,” she jokes.

“As you may have noticed, Cities: Skylines 2 was released last week and we are happy the game is finally out! However, the launch was overshadowed by technical issues which caused disappointment, and rightfully so. We are happy to see that many players do enjoy the game and for those who are currently unable to play, I want you to know that we are working on a number of fixes and improvements to address your reports.”

Last week, Cities: Skylines 2 got a patch with some substantial performance improvements, though that spot has actually just currently been offered for the Microsoft Store and COMPUTER Game Pass variations of the game. Hallikainen keeps in mind that the group is functioning to “see how we can speed up the patching process.”

That spot consisted of a variety of tweaks for the game’s degree of information setups, which aid boost efficiency by successfully exchanging from high-detail challenge low-detail variations of them as they relocate even more far from the video camera. “Finding optimal LOD levels is a balancing act between visual fidelity and performance, and we’ll be addressing this in future patches. Yes, including the characters and their teeth,” Hallikainen states, referencing a small dispute over how the game rendered the molars of each individual citizen.

Hallikainen states that work with LODs and property information will certainly proceed “over a longer period of time” as even more efficiency spots can be found in. On top of that, the devs are additionally dealing with numerous reported simulation pests.

“We have fixes being tested for education, where college/university eligibility is not shown correctly in the UI, and for trading, where it looks like the citizens are not consuming all different commercial types correctly resulting in not enough customers for the local business. We are currently investigating a garbage problem and it seems that some citizens are abandoning their dogs resulting in a huge dog pack just stranded in the city. Not cool, citizens, not cool at all.”

As I composed in my Cities: Skylines 2 review, it’s an appealing city-building game that’s regrettably been entirely outweighed by its technological troubles – which, naturally, is a belief that Hallikainen is currently resembling. Here’s wishing that those spots remain to turn out promptly with significant enhancements since I’m still determined to play a variation of Cities: Skylines 2 that’s taken care of to reach its complete capacity.
