Skylines 2 – best graphics settings

Cities: Skylines 2 was released on Steam, but players started experiencing frame drops and low FPS en masse. It gets to the point where the game crashes even on the best hardware with 40 series video cards. In this guide, we’ll tell you how to optimize your city builder and what features you shouldn’t use while playing.

Remark: Most of the tips in this guide are given by the developers themselves. If you want to supplement the material, write your notes in the comments.

Before you start the game, make sure it is suitable for your build, at least according to the minimum system requirements. For now, though, this doesn’t mean you won’t experience FPS drops.

Below we have presented the main parameters that must be configured first of all for a comfortable game in Cities: Skylines 2.

Virtual textures are a fairly complex technology that uses a large amount of video memory when playing with textures. We recommend that you wait until the texturing has finished processing the resources and then return to the game.

If you continue to play while creating textures, buildings and objects may become dark and the game may freeze and stutter. Normally, the processing time of the texture does not exceed a few minutes, but it all depends on the individual configurations of personal computers. When processing is complete, you will receive a notification on your home screen.

We’ve broken down the best graphics settings for users whose PC builds meet the minimum and recommended system requirements. Either way, it’s best to follow the guidelines for some of the settings described in the previous section.
