FULL STORY ======================================================================

Cities: Skylines 2 developer Colossal Order has clarified that the games current performance issues on PC arent a result of the title attempting to render citizens teeth.

Ahead of the simulation games release on October 24, a joint statement released by Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive stated that
while the team worked tirelessly to deliver the best experience possible, we have not achieved the benchmark we targeted . However, its now been confirmed that this isnt due to any dental details, so we can chew on that.

In a statement released to the press today (October 27), Colossal Order
wrote: Citizen lifepath feature does not tie to citizen geometry and does not affect the performance figures of the characters. We know the characters require further work, as they are currently missing their LODs [level of details] which affect some parts of performance. We are working on bringing these to the game along general LODs improvements across all game assets.

Characters feature a lot of details that, while seemingly unnecessary now, will become relevant in the future of the project.

Yesterday (October 26), Cities: Skylines 2 got its first performance patch on Steam , with some depth of field optimizations, fixes for crashes, smoothed-out stutters, and more. The team wrote : While this does not address all issues we are aware of, we wanted to get you these improvements as soon
as possible.

In TechRadar Gamings review of Cities: Skylines 2 , Elie Gould gave the game
a full five stars. They wrote: Cities: Skylines 2 has lofty ambitions. Several interlocking systems come together to convince you that this isnt
just a city-building game, but a way to build lively neighborhoods full of small stories and intertwining threads. Theres a lot to love here, and if you fall for it, youll be hooked for a long time.
