Cities: Skylines II Patch 1.1.2f1 Adds DLSS Super Resolution, Bug Fixes, and More

[GFreeman]

Hi everyone. As patch 1.1.2f1 is rolling out on Steam and Microsoft Store, let's have a look at what it includes and what you can expect next. This patch removes the entitlement from all the Beach Properties assets, so they are now a part of the base game and available to everyone. Saves and custom maps using the assets should work without any extra steps, but as always, don't hesitate to make a bug report on the forum if you have any issues. Additionally, we have improvements to performance, support for Nvidia DLSS Super Resolution, and a long list of bug fixes for both the game and the Editor. You can find the full list below.

With this patch in your hands, we've started working towards the next one. It will take about a month as, along with bug fixes and improvements, this patch will include a large re-work of the Economy to address much of the feedback you have shared with us in the past months. We'll share more details on what has changed when the patch is ready. As modding is an important part of any Colossal Order game, one of our top priorities right now is to resolve the remaining issues with the asset import pipeline, so you can start to import and share your custom assets on Paradox Mods. This is proving more difficult than we hoped, so we don't have an exact timeline at this time at this point, but it will likely take several more months. Thank you for all the bug reports, feedback, and support. We really appreciate it as it helps us understand and improve your experience with Cities: Skylines II.

Right, since nobody cares about cities II anymore it took this long for anyone to notice.

Since it's a relatively nieche genre, I stronly believe the same nobodies care about cities II whom cared about cities I or any other citybuilder in particular.

Did you miss the controversies regarding the game? For the benefit of the doubt: cities II has been an unmitigated dumpster fire, an unfinished game that also insults its player base with fake stats and DLC that insults the intelligence of even drooling LoL players. Promised features are either broken or totally absent, the interactive city is just window dressing for the spreadsheet underneath, the calculations are just totally broken (compared to cities 1 where they actually worked) and performance is still abysmal. It's player base has collapsed compared to cities 1, and even cities 1 has seen a sharp decline in players.

Paradox is in it's "burn through consumer trust faster than a California wildfire" phase, and Colossal Order, have been revealed to be Colossal Dicks who consider their players little more then sentient wallets.

Few, if any, people are paying attention to or are excited for a Cities II patch. Much like Halo, most of the creators and consumer base have either retreated to older products or moved onto greener pastures. The lightning has escaped from the bottle, never to return.

Their whole business model needs a retool I'd say, they're coming across as extremely greedy. FYI Cities Skylines 1 still costs at least $229.06 on Steam for the game and all the DLCs and that's with a 45% discount. If that was $60 for the whole shebang (most DLCs are years old by now) it would be much more reasonable and they'd probably get a lot more revenue from the general gamer public instead of ripping off architects and extreme fanatics who can justify these prices in ways the masses can't.

I was one really looking forward to cities II but passed hearing how bad it was. I really miss the days where launch day quality mattered and DRM was minimal. It kinda a shame it takes modders to fix a game then when the next game comes out it's like nothing was learned. Lessons lost.

 

[Metroid]

I stopped playing this game while back, will resume when things are fixed. There is a lot to improve.

You summarized the CS2 drama pretty well. Only thing I want to add is that those "promised features" in reality were a big part of Collosal Order marketing material while promoting the game into the pre order, so they are not only promises but borderline false advertising also.

It's incredible how bad they managed not only the game's launch, but the following actions and patching post launch, and fundamentally, comunication to their players.

 

[Scrizz]

... still costs at least $229.06 on Steam for the game and all the DLCs and that's with a 45% discount...

you can say that about pretty much any Paradox game EU, Stellaris, etc.

Don't make me think on how much I spent on Stellaris through the years...

 

[de.das.dude]

nothing to fix the broken fake simulation though

 

[stimpy88]

What, so this is what the v1.0 should have been on day one, a year later? Awfully disappointing attempt at a game.

Like with most games associated with Paradox in one way or another, try it 3 years after its release.
