Theres a lot of talk about benchmarking in the press for CS2 but i’m interested if anyone in this community has purchased the game and what their impressions are for performance and playability.
Game’s been playing fine performance wise on my 3080/5800, my main frustrations have been industry hub buildings not fully building unless you make sure they render when you place them by moving the cursor around randomly. Also industry specializations are ugly as sin.
Besides that, I severely underestimated the effect of wind on air pollution, we’ll see if restarting fixes that. Exporting electricity, at least geothermal, is overpowered. You can export more if you buy tiles out to the map edge, you just connect to the border and make new connections.
That specialized industry bug got me a few times before I caught on.
Other then that, I wish the game had a centrally located visualization mode that let me see overlays of info like traffic, crime, cost of living, etc from one place, instead of either not existing at all (traffic) or scattered under their building submenus.
But the game is fun and the road tools and traffic AI mostly fixes what annoyed me in CS1. Very happy with it.
Have a ryzrn 5600 and 3070 and performance is fine.
