Has performance degraded with the DLC? I haven't played in ages but got a new 1080Ti and decided to jump back in with the last two DLC's. I couldn't get over the lovely performance I was getting, mainly between 25-40 fps at 2560x1440 on an 4790k. As soon as I would hit an area of the map with trees I would go as low as TWO. TWO FPS! I played something like 125 hours prior to this and don't remember it being this bad.

I'm running a 1080 and my FPS is entirely capped by my CPU unless I'm running the game at 8k, and this is with like 2000 mods. I'm not sure what your problem could be. Maybe the game doesn't play nice with TIs?

turn off the TV posted:Was your first area highly developed/upgraded? There's a good chance that when you dezoned that area you evicted a large number of uneducated citizens, and new arrivals can't fill their jobs. This helped me find the answer - I had 46% unemployment because everyone was highly educated. Turned the entire starting peninsula into offices and now the city has rebounded.  I can't believe how great this game is, as someone who played the poo poo out of the original Sim City on SNES and has always had a strange love for city planning. I bought a high end PC and half a dozen AAA games but this is all I play on it now.

The monorail implementation reminds me of SimCity (2015)'s implementation of trains in the median of avenues. Interesting, somewhat limited.

IS there a way to totally opt out of updates both for workshop items and game patches? I'd love to just say "Never talk to my game or my mods ever again" and enjoy my current setup until like a month after the DLC is out and all the good mods have been re-established or updated. Wow, there really doesn't seem to be.  There's actually no "manual updates only" or something option. If there's a game-ruining patch you absolutely can't avoid it. Can I like... unplug my modem before launching skylines and protect my self that way? Baronjutter fucked around with this message at 16:40 on May 5, 2017 |

My dude, with the Juche Ideal, anything is possible. You can toy with settings, but I don't think you can explicitly restrict updates. You gotta toy with Steam global settings; for example, restrict updates to while games are not running and then just always run Cities while connected to the internet. You can restrict updates to the hours of 3AM and 3AM and then never have your computer on/connected during that time. You can download firewall software and restrict Steam's internet access. You can unplug your computer from the internet. You can uninstall your dumb loving mods too and start afresh

You could possibly set up a family share account just for CS and only launch that profile in offline mode.

You could keep Steam in offline mode for a while, though that of course won't work if you're trying to play something else that needs the internet during that time.

I seem to remember that there is a separate folder for non steam mods or something so the solution is to copy your mods over to turn then local only. If not a folder then a setting because you don't exactly need steam to bootstrap a mod you are working on before publishing. E. Leaves game patchses needing offline I guess.

If you right-click the game from Steam, go to properties, then hit up the Betas tab, does it give you the option to manually select a version of the game? I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd check it out myself, but I know this has worked for me in other games.

Some games I remember even letting me not have it auto-update. I've never had to gently caress around with such things or care because I've never played a game where you needed like 100 mods to make the game "literally playable"

Does anyone know what happened to the CityCopter mod? I can't find it in the workshop anymore. I just got the urge to start paying again and have been battling with getting thousands of assets and a hundred mods to work together and now that I have it somewhat under control I just wanted to unwind by flying around a bit! Also, is there any consensus on which first person camera mod is the best overall?

Isn't the helicopter mod at least a year old at this point? Even if you can find a copy of it it's almost certainly going to be incompatible with the current version of the game.

Any ideas on how to deal with agent limits at higher populations? There's apparently no way to manually increase the vehicle limit and while I could just use a demand mod, that just means I have this massive city with very few cars.

It would only help a little, but I seem to remember the seagulls are agents and there is a mod to get rid of them. Might net you a few hundred agents. Or I'm mistaken.

And they won't break when updates come out and will probably be safer. And even if they're not detailed enough, the new interface will provide much better hooks for mods to build on top of.

All I'm feeling is meh. Why is it so hard to build a custom, for example, a six track train station with 4 bus stops in game? Why do I have to build a massive downtown station in a small suburb if I want a bus/train station? One size fits all? I am angry about inconveniences.

HORMELCHILI posted:Yeah, the point is that you dont need a mod for it now... Yes but I am still essentially paying for something I already have for free. Depending on the price I might be willing to because it is the sort of content I think they should be adding even if they're so late with it that someone else already did it. I would, ideally, like to see them add functionality that can't really be modded in, though, and/or functionality which will facilitate better mods.

In some games it might not be exciting if mod content gets integrated into the base game, but for Cities there are so many "mandatory" mods (at least to play the game the way this thread wants to) that it's very hard to avoid mods conflicting, breaking, being abandoned, generally being janky, and so on. I wish CO would do more of this and integrate more of the best mods into the game.

The problem is when they integrate the general idea of a mod into the game but in a "simplified" way that misses the point of the mod and you end up still needing a mod to get the same functionality as before.

To be fair the features which they can't simplify are implemented in much better ways than what mods made available. Sub buildings/multi track stations work way better than the earlier mod, and their new road protractor also looks much better than the mod. They also have added features that mods weren't even touching, like draggable quays, the day/night cycle, weather, etc. But yeah, I have no idea why they're so hell bent on making everything as idiot proof and simple as possible. If people are confused or overwhelmed by those features they can just, you know, not use them.
