I know I'm late to the party but is this worth a punt at approx £5 for the deluxe game? (What's the difference in the deluxe version anyway?)

Deluxe just comes with some free models, but seeing as the game has mods, you or anyone could make those anyway

For sure, you’ll spend 100’s of hours on this game!

Got the deluxe version for £4.99 only 50p more than the standard version, cheaper than a cinema ticket

Anyone know how to fix the draw distance or get German road textures to render ''further'' instead of the ugly stock roads.

I use roads united 2.0 + german road pack, but anything further back are the ugly stock textures:

I've circled where the road textures go ugly.

Or can anyone recommend a good road mod that fixes the fugly stock rubbish with German/Dutch/French road markings?

I play at 3840x2160 at 43 inch, so the ''crossover'' is very obvious and annoying.

Anyone pre-ordering the mars expansion pack?

AFAIK That is a very different standalone game and nothing to do with Cities. They are just advertising it through this game with a discount.
If you do buy it then prepare for a zillion DLC's, of course you don't have to buy them.

Looks very Annoesk

Adam-r · 21 Feb 2018 at 12:25

Yeah, not sure about it yet. I'm just getting back into Cities after a layoff of about a year.

Picked the New Player Bundle up a few days ago in the last round of sales. Looking forward to getting round to playing it

This comes with Snowfall and Natural Disasters DLC.

Are any of the other DLC worth buying or add key features?

Are people lowering graphical settings to play this?

I have GTX 1070, 3570k at 4.2, 16GB and it’s not smooth at max settings with virtually no AA especially as city gets bigger.

Do I need a new CPU?

Adam-r · 21 Feb 2018 at 13:20

Afaik it’s thirsty on cpu resources....

willhub · 21 Feb 2018 at 16:01

What screen res? I've been maxing it with a 7980 and an i7 4820k, not even overclocked, this is at 1080p and 1440p, I even stream it over Steam to my Surface, runs pretty smooth on the host PC though! Only 8gig ram too.

Adam-r · 21 Feb 2018 at 16:33

I have a 280x, and a 4960k and running at 1920 I have horrible performance!

Ocean Breeze · 21 Feb 2018 at 19:27

1440p and gsync.

Devrij · 21 Feb 2018 at 21:55

Runs smoothly for me at 1440p (3770k and 980ti). Definitely a "5 more minutes" game for me

10pm: I just need to sort this traffic bottleneck and Then I'll go to bed.

Door bursts open: "Dev get in here it's bloody 3am!"

Ha yeah!

My cities look truly awful, I've somehow managed to make the traffic as bad as it is in sheffield. If only I could put potholes in.....
