Help & Support (PC) Ugly looking roundabouts?

Post image
Upvotes

Does this happen to all of you too?

All my roundabouts have this black distortion on them, its looking very ugly.

At first i thought it was because the terrain was not perfectly flat, but it also happens on flat terrain. Ive tried all roundabouts. Graphics setting is set to high. Ive been messing with the graphics settings but it wont go away.

Is there a solution? It this a known bug?

Help & Support (PC) DLC or Mods?

1 Upvotes

Should I use the Airport DLC or just mods? I'm mainly curious about which is better for making more realistic airports. Could you help me out? And if I should use the DLC, should I use stuff for better, more realistic markings?

Help & Support (Console) 250k on Xbox - how to deal with issues.

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Hello!

I have probably 200 hours put into this city. I’ve spent so long detailing it, making sure every area is nice and well connected etc. There is a high traffic flow (90%).

Despite this, there are always corpses / abandoned buildings / not enough supplies. I’ve tried everything to fix this, but unless I stay zoomed in on a certain area it’s always there.

I play on series S, and it runs awfully; it looks awful, and is at an unstable, choppy 30fps.

If anyone has any support on how to get my city to function I’d appreciate it! I want to reach 300k soon.

Help & Support (PC) Better Bulldozer and Move Ot compatibility issue

1 Upvotes

I've recently gotten into modded Cities 2, however I've run into an issue with Better Bulldozer and Move It, because when I bulldoze props, gates, etc. from an asset and then proceed to use Move It anywhere in my map, the props just spawn back in. I've tried researching this but I havent been successful. Could someone please tell me how to fix this? I'm playing on the latest update.

Discussion ❓ "Is Cities: Skylines II Worth It?" megathread

53 Upvotes

"Is Cities: Skylines II Worth It?" 🤔

... is one of the most common questions we see on the subreddit at the moment, leading to dozens of duplicate posts asking essentially the same thing: Should I buy the game or not?

It is our intent that this megathread will help collect information to help you make your decision, and provide a place to ask for more subjective opinions from community members.

General FAQs

If you're after general information about or help with the game (e.g. features, minimum or recommended specs, the situation related to modding, when the game will release on consoles), check out our wiki articles below. They'll provide you a decent base level of knowledge and help you understand more about the features and limitations of the game.

Patches and Bug Fixes

As of the start of this month, there have been over a dozen patches for the game. You can review the change log for each patch on the Paradox Wiki:

What have the devs been saying?

The main channel for "formal" communication from the developers comes via the Official Information & Announcements section on the Paradox Forums. We maintain an accompanying megathread for each post which captures a lot of player feedback and reactions to the news shared each week.

The best way to catch up on past posts is to browse the Dev Diary and/or Announcement flairs and dip into the more recent ones. Unfortunately, these links may not work on Reddit's mobile apps (please tell Reddit if you'd like this fixed) but in the meantime you can go to the main page of the subreddit and use the "filter by flair" options provided.

Live Gameplay Videos

If you're interested in seeing how the game is playing today, you can check out recent videos or streams from YouTube and Twitch. These will show you the "real" game, not marketing videos. As there is only limited mod support for the game at this stage, what you see will broadly be vanilla gameplay and will help you understand how the game is performing at the moment.

Reviews

Many critic reviews aren't necessarily reflective of the current state of the game. That said, reviews are helpful sources of information to help you decide whether or not to drop your cash on any new game, not just Cities: Skylines II.

Try Before you Buy

If you're still unsure, Cities: Skylines II is available on Microsoft Game Pass for PC, which is a subscription service at a much lower monthly cost than the full retail price of the game. Microsoft is currently offering an initial 14-day trial for as low as £1/$1/1€ (which renews at full price after the 14 days).

Refunds

If for any reason you can't make use of a discounted Game Pass for PC subscription (i.e. it may not be available in your region), you have the option of purchasing the game and refunding it within the store's refund window.

  • Steam: Request a refund within 14 days of purchase, as long as you haven't accrued more than 2 hours of total playtime
  • Microsoft Store: Request a refund within 14 days of purchase, as long as you haven't accrued "a significant amount of play time"

Recognising that you may not be able to reach the "late game" within 2 hours, you can use this 100k benchmarking city to establish whether or not you're comfortable with the performance on your system.

Specific Questions

If you've got specific questions about items not covered in these FAQs, feel free to ask them below. If you've been redirected to this post by a removal notice, please understand that this is done to help keep the subreddit tidy by providing a centralised and dedicated location for all information related to this topic.


 

These megathreads are scheduled to post at 00:01 on the first day of each month. If it's late in the month, you may want to wait for a new post to appear. Please send us a ModMail with any suggested improvements!

Monthly FAQs ❗️ READ ME BEFORE POSTING! Monthly FAQ Thread: Fixes for Common Issues, Troubleshooting Guides, and Tips for Beginners

👋 Hello, welcome to /r/CitiesSkylines

Our little community has grown to over half a million subscribers, so as you can imagine things get a little busy in here. The purpose of this thread is to provide new members a jumping-off point to find the information that they need to get started, whether they're a seasoned player of the game or a brand new mayor.

We get a lot of posts which ask very similar questions, so we've pulled together this post to help address our most Frequently Asked Questions, and give you a place to ask simple questions which only need a quick answer, not warranting a dedicated thread.

Before you post, please consider if one of our sister-subreddits would be more appropriate:

  • /r/ShittySkylines - memes, reaction images, tenuous and obscure references, real-life photos that remind you of the game, and gags based on in-game activities like "a dead person is waiting for transport at shop-til-you-drop" all go here

  • /r/CitiesSkylinesModding - if you have a request for a mod, want to commission an asset, or need help with your own mod/asset/map creation it should be posted here

If you still think that /r/CitiesSkylines is the right subreddit, please first check the FAQ below.

Please be aware that if you create a new thread which is addressed by the answers or links in this thread, it will likely be removed with a message directing you back here. This is not done to stifle conversation, but rather to help keep the subreddit tidy and provide as much space as possible for mayors to share their creations and inspire others.

If your question is genuinely a simple one, like "how do I do X", please use this thread rather than creating a new post.

Finally, if your question isn't already answered below - please use Reddit's search function to try and find if your query has been asked and answered in the past. If not? Feel free to create a fresh discussion thread.

 


 

The format of this update thread has been simplified with core information rehosted on our subreddit wiki. This enables us to update the content more quickly and reliably, and to reduce the visual impact of a 2000+ word thread.
