I personally don't understand the problems people have with performance. I'm used to playing Cities 1 at 15 fps with 200k-700k cities.
Cities 2 is a game with modern quality graphic settings, not a 2015 game. What do y'all expect? It's not a twitchy FPS game. My Cities 2 city is only at 100k now though, with a 3060 btw.
What I'm noticing is that the first game had 2015 graphics and on a medium to large city runs at cinematic framerates (20-30fps). On Cities 2 the graphics are a mishmash of 2010 and 2025 graphics that run somewhat poorly, but also stutter a lot. On my 10k city I'm getting 45fps average with low-medium settings with the recommended changes to improve performance, but large lag spikes are frequent.
