I got myself MGS Master v.1 because i wanted to play mgs3 on my ps5. MGS1 is utter bullshit, loading times feel slower than what they were on original psx, i much prefer the pc version or even emulated.

Wish i could habe just gotten mgs3 and waited for the mgs4 so i can finally retire the pooor old ps3

Laptops just normally run hot. You can try and change thermal pads and thermal paste. Besides that not sure what more you can do.

Sylver,

That and a usb-powered cooling pad for extra airflow

WereCat, do games w Just an observation on game engines
  • I’ve built this table with a saw and it’s level
  • I’ve built this table with an axe and it’s not level

Does that mean that saw is superior to making tables? No, I just suck with an axe and it was far easier to chop the wood than saw it.

Frogster8,

I would say 99.9999% of the times it’s superior to make a table with a saw instead of an axe

WereCat,

Yes. But what if most people in your team suck at using saw?

Frogster8,

If they can’t use a saw to chop something straight I’m sure as shit not trusting them to do it with an axe. I think it was a bad analogy.

WereCat,

See. It’s easier to use but of an axe to hammer the nails rather than to use the handle of saw to hammer the nails. Both have advantages and disadvantages.

I don’t like how we have 2 games called CS2 in the same year. Since Cities has worse performance, I say we all agree to abbreviate it some other way, like 2 Cities 2 Skylines.

metallic_substance,

Let’s just call it CS:GO. The GO is for glitchy optimization

TheHolyChecksum, do games w Cities Skylines 2 player feedback

I have no issues whatsoever on a 2080, 64gb ram and an old Ryzen 7 5800x. Runs great. As always, the online noise about new game is excessively negative for no good reason, definitely worth a buy if C:S is your thing.

MrNesser,

I have a ryzen 2070 it probably won’t play on mine

Although I do have 32gb ram which might balance it out

Performance is not great, honestly. On my 3090 I had to sink settings to medium to get around 45 - 60 fps. However it does look nice, and even 30 fps is perfectly playable for a relaxed sim where my reaction speed doesn’t matter.

Playability is fantastic once I got the settings lowered. Love the changes to water and power, roundabouts are neat, roads are easier to manage, and the progression system has been surprisingly engaging. I really like the game and I’ll definitely keep playing while they work on optimizing it.

I got 30fps on 5800x and 3060ti. I refunded the game.

@EighthLayer@lemmy.world avatar

Early game I’m getting 50-60 FPS @ 1440p on a 3070 and i7-12700K. Haven’t got to a high population point yet but I expect a drop as my city gets bigger.

Overall the playability is good so far. A few stutters here and there, and also some texture flickering. Not as bad as I was expecting from all the noise surrounding the game at the moment.

tun,

if there is no noise surrounding, what will be your verdict?

EighthLayer,
@EighthLayer@lemmy.world avatar

A solid foundation to build on I’d say. Needs better optimisation as my GPU runs hotter than I’d expect. As far as I can tell there are still a lot of quality-of-life things missing that were in the first game via mods. I’ve only played it for a couple of hours though so far though.

I only recently watched Guardians of the Galaxy because a coworker whose opinions I hold in high regard recommended it. I enjoyed it very much and thought it would make a fun video game. Lo and behold, there is one! So I bought it and have been playing that when work and school allow.

MJBrune,

I was looking at that, how is it?

I haven’t played too deep into it, only gotten past 2-3 boss fights, but it’s fun so far. I’m enjoying the gameplay and the music. The story is pretty much the same flavor as the movie.

Starfield was just making me want a better space game so I reinstalled Elite and am getting back into it. I had bought Horizons and Odyssey as they came out, but I haven’t really sat down and played since about a year after Power Play released. The game is so so vastly different now, it’s like an entirely new one.

I’m doing exobiology for some capital and then I wanna go do stuff with thargoids. I wanna befriend an alien.

Thoven, do games w I tried over 20 Steam Next demos so that you don't have to!

I would characterize the crust as more colony sim than RTS. It’s definitely rough around the edges, but it has a strong foundation and I expect it will be a great game when finished.

@YMS@kbin.social avatar

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn't really sound like an issue in a city builder.

@raktheundead@fedia.io avatar

It's still something I'd rather have than not; not having it makes for a less fluid experience.

scrubbles,
!deleted6348 avatar

Exactly. I still don’t get 60fps on the first one, a now 8 year old game on top of the line hardware. I don’t care. People here act like performance optimizing is just turning a knob they forgot, but it’s hours of detailed work finding anything and anything that may be able to shave nanoseconds off.

If the game is playable, I’m happy. It’s not a twitch shooter. It’s a city simulation.

Lojcs,

It’s not a deal breaker, but high fps is always preferable when using anything with a gui

ReversalHatchery,

I don’t get much FPS on CS 1, and it’s not pleasant. It’s probably somewhere between 20-30. But the news above mean that I shouldn’t even dream about running CS 2 with this hardware, because it runs much worse than the first game, but also compared to other games.

Honestly I was expecting that CS 2 would run better than 1. I have a little hope that they will fix their shit, but now I don’t expect significant improvements over the first game’s performance.

TigrisMorte,

"with this hardware", found your problem.

theangriestbird, (edited )

Yep we better all go drop $3k on a new computer so we can get this game to playable fps!

TigrisMorte,

So, exactly as every other resource intensive game released, ever. Weird huh?

dom,

The specs until recently were not as intensive but still pointed to the game not being super optimized.

Minimum was a 780 (3gv)

I expected that buying a 6650 (8gb) would have put me well over the minimum requirements.

MINIMUM:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows® 10 Home 64 Bit

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K / AMD® Ryzen™ 5 1600X

Memory: 8 GB RAM

Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ GTX 780 (3GB) or AMD® Radeon™ RX 470 (4GB)

RECOMMENDED:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows® 10 Home 64 Bit | Windows® 11

Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-9700K | AMD® Ryzen™ 5 5600X

Memory: 16 GB RAM

Graphics: Nvidia® GeForce™ RTX 2080 Ti (11GB) | AMD® Radeon™ RX 6800 XT (16GB)

theangriestbird,

What is your deal? Do you believe that gaming should only be a hobby for the wealthy, or?

TigrisMorte,

It is indeed much easier to argue against things you made up and not what was posted.
Where as I stated no such thing, you already have the answer. But, no, I do not believe the straw man you put forth to claim I intended.

ReversalHatchery,

I see no justification for why CS 2 is this resource intensive.
It’s a heavy city simulation game, so high CPU usage is kind of expected (though I think it could be better), but what about the RAM and GPU requirements and actual usage?

TigrisMorte,

And I said nothing about justification. But, the RAM is easy to figure out as that is where the variables are stored and manipulated. A "heavy city simulation game" is going to have a great many variables and lots of formulae.
The GPU usage is likely to get the picture to be very pretty. But you could argue against it. The RAM, no, it is required by the genre.

ReversalHatchery,

And I said nothing about justification.

You said that it is a resource intensive game, in a tone that implied to me that it’s fine to you.

But, the RAM is easy to figure out as that is where the variables are stored and manipulated. A “heavy city simulation game” is going to have a great many variables and lots of formulae.

But not this much. CS 1, which is also a “heavy city simulation game”, was totally fine with less, and while I agree that because of the new features it is expected that CS 2 uses more RAM, it is not expected to use this much more.

Also, you are talking as if every vehicle, pedestrian, building object each should cost 1 KB of RAM or something like that. Normally that’s not the case.

The GPU usage is likely to get the picture to be very pretty.

Unconditionally loading 8k textures for all the existing models won’t make the game “very pretty”.

As in every sensible game, texture resolution and such should be configurable, and the game should not load textures not in use. At least one of these is very clearly not happening if the game requires multiple gigabytes of VRAM even on a new, basically empty save.

lud,

My fps is also around that in CS 1 and honestly it hasn’t bothered me that much unless I look at the fps counter. While it would be nice to have 60 FPS, I don’t think much about it while actually playing.

Intelligence_Gap,

I’ve gotten so used to 60 fps that if I play below 60 it makes motion sick

saigot,

Yeah I play a lot of rimworkd and dwarffortress and to be honest the only difference between playing it on my of the line pc and my 10yr old laptop is that it takes way longer to do stuff at max speed, which isn’t really how I play games like this. This review kinda sold me on this game.

Chyba tylko na Wpunkt. I czasem w Krytyce Politycznej, ale po pierwsze jest tam masa liberałów a po drugie to nie wychodzi jako dziennik, ani nawet na papierze. Wpunkt jest przynajmniej aktualizowanym portalem newsowym.

Donald.pl też ma lewoskrętne skrzywienie.

lysy,

KP i Donalda znam, ale wydaje mi się, że to są dość niszowe portale. Szukam takich ogólnopolskich w tym sensie, że czytanych nie tylko przez młodych i światłych w Internecie.

O, i Wpunkt ma od razu ładny link do RSSa!

obywatelle,
@obywatelle@szmer.info avatar

Nie ma takich. Najwięcej procentowo takich treści i tak jest na oko.press, ale wiadomo że tam to zależy od autora.

lysy,

Rozumiem. Padło tu kilka propozycji, jednak zastanawiam się, czy takie stereotypowe Grażyny i Janusze mają w ogóle szansę zobaczyć te treści. Telewizji nie znam żadnej, która by lewicową perspektywę pokazywała. Z radia to może TOK FM, ale np. moi rodzice radia w ogóle nie sluchają, a nawet jeśli to tam, gdzie są tokfm nie odbiera.
Na telefonie często domyślnie zainstalowane jest jakieś Google News i ono pokazuje tylko i wyłącznie neoliberalny główny nurt w postaci Wyborczej, Onetu, WP itp.
Stąd moje pytanie.

obywatelle,
@obywatelle@szmer.info avatar

Janusze i Grażyny praktycznie nie mają na to szans. Ale gdyby Lewica dbała o to, by robić wokół siebie populistyczny hałas, który dobrze “się klika” to nawet media musiałyby jej dać trochę czasu antenowego. Nawet w charakterze kuriozum, ale czasem lepszy taki rozgłos niż żaden. Wiadomo przecież nie od dzisiaj że nigdy żaden duży koncern medialny nie będzie działał na rzecz jakiejkolwiek lewicy.

Twigs218,

Phoonzang,

I think it’s “Tiny civilization”, which is really cute indeed. Got it on sale for less then 2 bucks, well worth it!

Edit: nah, probably not, but tiny civilization is a nice little game anyway :)

Dyskolos,

Indeed. Thanks for the hint. Looks interesting. The other commenter named the right one: “micro civilization”
