Direct X 12

[P4WNDZ0RZ]

So, yeah, when are we getting DX12? Cause the arguments of "but then only people on Windows 10 can play" is kinda irrelevant FOUR YEARS ON from those points being made, when the NEXT version of Windows is already out at this point.

As someone who spent £3500 on a PC because I care about the performance I get out of my games, I find it a joke that we're still limiting the performance of the game because some people may still be on a dated OS that they should've moved on from by now. I should be getting 100+fps with 10000 guests in the park with a 7950X3D and a 4090 but no, because DX11 is awful. So again, when and why do we NOT have it already...

That was your choice, wasn't it? Don't force the rest of us into your choices.

Just think of all the other high-powered games you'll be able to play, that will forever remain out of reach for the rest of us. You can put that super-powered rig to good use.

I mean, heck, not a month goes by that we don't get two or three people whining about how expensive the game is, even when it's on sale. If somebody hasn't got the liquid assets for the game in the first place, where d'you suppose they're going to get the finances for the rig?

Honestly, that's the real answer to the question. When will it get DirectX12? Never.

This is an older game at this point .. initial release was 2016 and as someone else commented im pretty sure development has stopped at this point .. Planet Zoo was their latest project and now there are very light rumblings of a planet coaster 2.

computer tech has come a long way since the game released it might not be as simple as an update // it could be engine restrictions or something requiring a complete game rebuild.

The REAL question is PlanCO 2 when ? ( a man can dream right )

As someone who just spent $2000 to build a new PC, imagine spending $1500+ more than I did and making THIS game - a discontinued 6-year-old game that is entirely single-core limited - your hill to die on, lol.

Though as an aside, I like that my Ryzen 7 7700 / Radeon RX 7900XT combo finally makes bigger parks like Koali Beach playable at a decent 30fps with max settings.

It's almost like you think this is the only game that hasn't received a sequel, with no news of a sequel, that's still very active, that I'm complaining about this kind of thing on.

Thanks captain obvious, I had no idea, do you get that the problem is that development has stopped and we have no word of a Planet Coaster 2 despite this glaring issue?

None of this is a helpful reply and the first bit isn't even relevant, it's no matter to me if people are running 8 year+ old hardware, while sitting on their asses screaming "PC master race" to the high heavens like a bunch of clowns. The amount of times I hear PC gamers say consoles are the reason for games being held back and here you're confirming what everyone with a brain says, people on PC are holding it back because of people who expect to still be using the same hardware 8+years later... This isn't how gaming works nowadays, you can't just expect to keep running games on hardware that's that many years out of date, regardless of how much you spent on it when it was current.

If it wasn't still active, or had a sequel, or a sequel announced, it'd make sense to discontinue development, but they abandoned it for stupid Planet Zoo while the engine is a pile of trash lmao.

That's the problem, development was stopped while the game was still active, with no sequel, no sequel announced, and basically still broken. If we actually had an official confirmation of a PlanCo 2, the lack of continued development in favour of a stupid Zoo tycoon game wouldn't be such a punch in the gut

It wasn't intended to be helpful, it was intended to be explanatory. You've got the money to keep your equipment up-to-date. Congratulations. Seriously, no sarcasm, I'm always happy to hear about people who have financial freedom. Others don't. Simple as that.

Oh well. Frontier has made their business decision based on their business situation. Your ability to purchase the latest and greatest gaming gear every six months has no bearing or influence on their decision.

And that's the explanation. Like it or not, Frontier has decided to abandon this game. You can spend a million pounds on your rig, it won't make the slightest difference.

"Your ability to purchase the latest and greatest gaming gear every six months"

Gee, you're real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ presumptuous aren't you, getting a bit fed up of your know it all attitude when you're actually clueless. This is my first upgrade in over 10 years, guess what though? I didn't sit around being a whiny baby complaining that I can't play games my system SHOULDN'T be able to handle, unlike most modern PC gamers >.>

What can I say? It is what it is. Your opinion about what it SHOULD BE is not relevant.

[DinoRex79]

I mean just Google around. This company is not that interested in optimizing their games; they're more interested in releasing as many DLCs as possible. But most of the people that seem to enjoy their games are mainly casual gamers that enjoy Sim games and aren't too bothered by the performance of the game. Hardcore gamers with high optimization in mind are not their target audience. Let it go because no amount grievance from you will change a company's priorities.

[McChicken]

so basically your are just angry because of performance issues in a game released in 2016 and because they havent announce planco 2 yet?

Planet Coaster was meant to be a spiritual successor to RCT after the failure that was RCT World, even including some of the RCT developers, it was aimed at long time RCT fans. It doesn't even have that much DLC when you compare it to other games.
