Next main patch on june?

[ChimaereJade]

Hey there,
the detailers patch #2 released on december and the anniversary patch in march. May this be the actual patch cycle (beside hotfixes)?
Does someone know more about the actual progress? I don't follow the progress very active anymore but still hope (to some degree) they will fix the oldest bugs with terrain and add the needed animations for the city life. Better performance is obviously needed to.

(Yeah I'm not happy with the state of the game too but just ask about serious answers without all the salt to fill an ocean. :) )

The last patch had excellent performance improvements. The next patch will arrive in Q2 2025 sometime. It is also when their expansion is due to be released so going to guess they do both things at the same time.

They said over a year ago that patches will come with DLC releases, so next patch is expected on thrid week of June. Similar time than last year.

Thanks for the quick responses! I hope this next updates may be bigger ones.

The detailers patches were nice in terms of options but the problems with terrain (tunnels being filled with terrain, seeing water beside streets with slopes or seeing terrain clipping over deepend pedestrian paths) are some basic ones which destroy any immersion to me.

I really hope this game may become a nice city painter (to handle one possible strength) and after this even a nice simulation with economical challenges and enough space for different playstyles.

At the same time they reserved the option to release hotfixes if necessary.

Although I see a lot of wrongs here I certainly want them to wait for the next DLC release and get most of it right.

Every major update since launch has caused kaos dealing with them and all added multitude new and reintroduced previously corrected problems.

Be careful what you wish for. Give them time to get at least one update right.

Don't get me wrong - I was just curious. Halfbaked patches doesn't help anyone. That's the reason why I am hoping for bigger patches (meaning new content - like animations - and more longterm fixes).

I tried the current version and got a crash after 10min on a fresh city. Will try this again without the minority of mods (mostly region packs) I have - even if I didn't played on patch day and most mods should be updated.
But it feels like there are much bigger steps needed to get this game right - in terms of when it got released and in which state it still is.
