The Trials and Tribulations of Cities: Skylines 2

Cities: Skylines II has faced significant performance issues on PC, leading to its console release being delayed. The game's poor optimization can be attributed to Unity's new feature called DOTS (Data-Oriented Technology Stack), which was not fully developed. The lack of LOD variants for models and a limited culling system have resulted in unnecessary rendering and a heavy GPU load. The developers, Colossal Order, have acknowledged the issues and hope to improve performance with more time for optimization.
