I really love this idea, you could be creating a city on an Alien looking world in no time.

Also, here's some gameplay of the Snowfall expansion:

Cities Skylines is great, however on my rig when I have +8 areas unlocked, fps goes around 15 and it starts to be not very good experience.
Also my 3rd city started to loose population because of wrong road design and I started to loose money really quickly so I stopped playing it some time ago. With recent updates and upcoming Snowfall DLC I guess time to build new city has come.

Same. I gave up on my city months ago when I encountered an unfixable garbage situation. Maybe I'll give it another shot but with much better preplanning this time.

I gave up on the game too... In my case because it's a real memory hog and quickly fills my measly 8GB of RAM, even with no mods subscribed/installed. :-(

Love the game, but performance has be always crappy for me, as soon as the city becomes large. I don't think that the devs are going to try and improve it on Linux; I blame it on Unity engine! That said, with new content I might pick it up again

Works great on i7 6xxx GTX 970 even with several hundred workshop items & mods installed.

Super awesome game. Workshop content is out of this world

How much RAM do you have? And how much does the game use on your machine?

Quoting: GuestLike other comments, still also waiting on that OpenGL performance patch or upgrade to Vulkan before I donate to those devs. Points for getting it on Linux, but I refuse to support shoddy OpenGL development and shoddy Linux releases in general.

Unfortunately, I think you might be waiting indefinitely if performance improvements depend on the Unity3d Engine developers improving their engine.
