I bought CS:2 at launch knowing it was in rough shape. However, I underestimated how bad of a state the game was actually in. I only just now came back to it and it’s still not much better. I use PD mods but for some unknown reason, that causes issues just trying to load into the main menu. I’ll have occasions where I’ll spend 5-7 minutes just waiting for it to load the menu, not even my map. It astonishes me to know that this game is still in a bad spot over 1 year later. Now add the fact that we still can’t download custom assets for our city, relying on PD to give us either free content packs or pay for content packs. This game doesn’t deserve anyone’s time. If it wasn’t for the improvements made to the road tools, I would’ve never had reinstalled this “game.” I’ll be very honest, there is no saving this game, it’s dead and right now, all they’re doing is putting lipstick on a pig. There are fundamental issues baked directly into the base of the game that can’t be changed. The only way forward is to start over and release cities skylines 3.
I have played this on pc through game pass and performs way worse than it should for my specs. I have had games that run worse through pc game pass than they do on steam. Not sure if it's worth buying on steam to test performance though

Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

I had that happen with other games as well. but the performance isn't the only problem with Cities: Skylines 2
That's very true but I could easily play in spite of the other issues but not when the performance is close to unplayable
I refused to pay the $49 and ended up paying $20 for the steam key on a random website
