I have played a little bit and I'm a bit confused about all the negative feedback regarding the performance.

I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, so not too bad, but also not the best.

And the game runs totally fine for me. I just reduced the screen resolution (I think 1920x1024 or so) and left the other settings as they were (I think all set to High). And I get very constant 45 FPS without hiccups. It feels very smooth and playable. Maybe it will get a bit worse when my city gets bigger, but so far, I don't see any problems.

This is even before the first patch, which was released today. This patch is supposed to optimize the performance more. I will try it later.

Note, this is with Linux. I run it on Linux with Proton 8. So maybe it actually runs better on Linux than on Windows?



You have thousands of dollars in hardware and cannot hit full framerate on a small city at a low resolution.


You're playing on an rtx 3090 at 1920x1024 and get 45 fps. I'm confused why you're confused about the negative feedback.


I don’t get it.I would be fuming, it’s a 4k card and it is sputtering out 45fps at 1080p.


45 FPS is not "sputtering". It's perfectly acceptable.


4k is a resolution, not an amount of work done per frame.


They mean that it's a card people typically buy with the intention of playing games at 4k.
