Oh yeah i forgot to post my remarks in here once i got the new patch. For me everything is running fine. I dont have too much slowdowns at all, compaired to before. My first city i started i have about 90,000 people living in. So far soo good.Originally posted by vat_man
So - how are people going with this? I've a solid little region going now, with three cities - a small one, a medium one, and now a large one I'm starting to get rolling along. The region's got around 100-120k people now. I'll put some screenshots up later (if I remember).
I get a little graphical update slowdown when moving around, but it's much better than before - I was finding it was getting unplayable as you approached 30,000 population, but one of my towns is over 60,000, and it's fine.
Give me a min or so and ill try and get a pic of my city.Originally posted by vat_man
Yeah - it's a big improvement with the two patches. It runs slower at Cheetah speed though. I'm going to throw another 512mb and a GEForce 4 at the PC in the next month or so - it'll be interesting to see the effect.
How many towns have you got running in you region?
This is my third town in the region - one on a mid-size square, one on a small square, and this new one, 'Ocean Views' on a large square.
I'm using the San Francisco region map.
It's got me intrigued how many people I could get in this town - could be 300,000...
Traffic was horrid while i was buiding up my city. But once i got everything in order (schools, medics, firestations, policestations) I finally got some bus stations and subways going on. And that helped my road traffic alot.Originally posted by vat_man
Nice - I see you have the Casino!
That's a predominantly residential area, I gather. What's your traffic like?
With the patches you can turn off the auto-roads - some of the street layouts are disastrous...

This is the good side of town where most all of my buildings are nice and clean. That mid left building was my first big building.
