Hello, I have a very weird issue, when my cities skylines game is running in the background, I average an fps of 120+, but when I am actually trying to play the game it immediately drops to like 5-10 fps, making the game ultra-laggy and unplayable...

I have deleted all mods/assets from workshop and also tried to re-install the game, but it wont work. When I played last a few weeks back I didn't have this problem. Has anyone experienced this issue before? I'll add a video showing what I mean, and as you can see in the video, the second I open a different app (like steam), the game loads perfectly in the background with way better fps...

My computer has a 4080 super, 64 gb ram and i9, so it should run the game vanilla at higher fps than 5...lol

I realize that I never add ponds or lakes to my builds because it doesn’t seem possible. I put in the smallest canal I could find but it’s an eyesore. It would be nice if there was another way. Perhaps I should just make a small ditch instead.

tl;dr C:S2 simulation speed is same, fps are 20% worse.

So there where some comments which claimed that the game runs better with Linux. I have a very old PC (i5-2500k, RX480, 12 GB) and as expected my 60k city is now below 1x simulation speed. So instead of Windows 10 I installed Drauger OS (which is optimized for gaming) on a USB disk, installed Proton GE, set the C:S 2 to Proton, installed and started it up. The result, see start of post. Perhaps for more advanced CPU the differences in the scheduler might result in more of difference. If you have any questions ask.

Lol I was wondering what this was and clicked on it

I swear I saw a selector for this on an Infrastructurist video and I've been looking for a few days but havent found anything. Its a bit annoying having massive trains for a small line and the Train Variation isnt customizable as far as I know. Any ideas?

Often when I'm trying to upgrade roads, it will tell me "slope is too steep". I try to use terrain tools to fix this, but they never seem to make a difference. Do you all have any ideas of how to fix this?

Hi,

I was wondering how you Guys are playing CS? Do you start with unlimited money and everything unlocked?

Of are you beginning from scratch and wait Till things are unlocked?

I have the Metro Overhaul Mod, and some trains assets but that’s it as far as transit mods. Anyone know what’s wrong?
