Hows the performance?

[_dyl3n]

I wanna know if the game is at least playable now as the last time I played I was getting 5 FPS on an empty plot. I'm using a laptop with a Ryzen 5 and 1650 Ti for the GPU.

Laptop needs to weigh 8 kilos minimum at $4000 usd. If that is matched, best is to slot a real desktop 4090 into it, with external life support wiring

Then one can enjoy CS:1 game zoomed out graphics.

It’s clunky and janky. It’s not an issue of horse power. It’s an issue if the horses trying to drag a freight train without wheels. It doesn’t run “great” or “good” on a 4090 or on GeForce Now. It’s like a baby baboon trying to drag around its dead mother.

Anybody who has played "Crossout" knows how a vehicle frame feels without wheels.

Core i7-920 from 2007 with a GTX970 here. I'm at pop ~27,000 with no issues. Frame rate a little over 20fps (which I'm fine with) at custom settings. Probably over 30fps if I switched to the lowest settings.

It needs a lot of improvements to get to what we could call "bad".

After my city grew a bit I couldn't get a bare minimun of 60fps anywhere, sometimes it would fall below the unbearable state of 30fps.

You just have to disable some settings. Disabling volumetric clouds, depth of field, and motion blur helps, and disabling v-sync made a huge difference for me.

I run it fine on an i7-12700 with an RTX 3060 and 16GB RAM.

l don't want to dive too far into the FPS debate. But, I think, for me, if the game was smooth and stable at 30 FPS, I'd be happy. And, I do think some of the folks who are asking for 60 FPS are actually asking for consistent frame rates with no noticeable variations or tearing or stuttering. Again, I do know that some people are very sensitive to FPS and I think 60 FPS to vsync is a very reasonable expectation for most games.

Mt experience with the game,
4070ti:

Loading game,
setting graphics to maximum everything

1st minute - Map screen menu look, disappointment and disbelief
2nd minute - Crap in-game graphics look and noticing nearly no artist map landscaping
3rd-5rd minute - Changed from maximum to worse graphics settings, graphics looks even more worse than on max settings
6th-7th minute: Clicking through UI to see players build options
8th-9th minute - Yaw drop disbelief + tricked fraud feeling
10th minute - AltF4, deinstalled

I don't know if it's possible for anyone to be different, but for me, in any game, of any kind, if I play a few matches in 30fps I'll "get used" to it, as in, it becomes bearable.

But if you go into the options and simply turn 60 fps back on it feels like a huge cloud is lifted from your head, eyes, and shoulders, it's a sensation close to removing a stone from your shoe that's been hurting you for days, simply looking at a static menu, and the fluidity of motion of a mouse pointer makes all the difference. It's insane relief.
30FPS is not acceptable anywhere.

I don't expect too much - but I can at least try the features and familiarise myself with the game. The slow speed of the cars and cims is actually quite soothing. the build time for a building is relatively more realistic. I've left all graphics at (Globally High) for now.
Currently at a very basic Tiny Town with 3600 pop. Its enough to start with. Maybe upgrading system in months. Will see how the optimisation and other improvements progress to guide HW decisions.

[Major Kudos™]

One word. Terrible.

[Tsubame ⭐]

Your GPU is under minimum specs. You will have to run all graphic settings in low.

Though to be honest the game does not look that much better in high.

CS1 would be a better choice, if you do not have it yet.

[Nohiro]

Yeah so short answer is . it's not yet there. maybe in a year.

[SumGumption]

On a fresh install, as of today, I’m now getting 60 fps. Taking building really slow and my cims are adjusting very well. Schools are being utilized but I only have 1 of each. Lowered the services to 80%. Left all taxes as set by game. At 9k citizens. Giving them time to adjust to additions and changes matter a lot.
