Скачать или смотреть Cities 2 Skylines totally botched LOD - developer analysis

Developer Paavo Huhtala has explained why Cities Skylines 2’s performance is so bad.

The main reason is the visuals use too many polygons.

The more polygons, the more work your graphics card has to do.

And your card can only go so fast. Once its speed is maxxed out, the issues in Cities 2 - crappy looking renders, random frame drops, melting GPUs - creep in.

This means the Redditor who blamed the character’s teeth for the problems a few weeks ago was right.

Hexcoder0 said the game renders individual teeth with no LOD.

No LOD means there’s no simplified versions of objects available.

So even when something is further away, it is rendered in as much detail as it would be if it was right in front of you, which involves way more polygons.

It’s calculating the polys on things you can’t even see.
