Das Spiel wird immer besser und auch die vermeintlich kleineren Funktionen, die in 1800 da waren, erhalten kontinuierlich wieder Einzug, gerne weiter so 🙂
Aber kann es sein, dass nach dem Update auf 2.1 das Spiel viel mehr Strom verbraucht und dadurch die Lüftung hochfährt und viel mehr arbeiten muss. Vor dem Update wurde zumindest in der Statistik (und glaube auch in anderen Bereichen wie Forschungsbaum) die Leistung herunter gefahren. Kann man das bitte noch weiter optimieren, Stromverbrauch ist für mich sehr wichtig. Ich möchte gerne spielen aber wenn der Stromverbrauch so hoch ist, dann werde ich die Spielzeit stark verkürzen müssen. Zumindest sollte es im Spiel einige Stellen geben, bei der die Leistung heruntergefahren wird, gerade was die Belastung der Grafik angeht. Vielen Dank und weiterhin viel Erfolg.
Hmmm, also eigentlich sollten UI-Szenen dank FPS-Cap nicht unnötig aufdrehen. Generell arbeiten wir aber aktuell an Optimierungen der CPU-Auslastung für kommende Updates.
I dont think that update of Tiranna was good move. She needed downgrade, but now she exchange dyes for pigments that come from minerals, that are quite rare and you need them for glass…
I hope a future update with a full sandbox mode with unlimited resources and money and don’t having to manage the cities, just beauty building. That would add even more hours to this beautiful game ♥️
Hello,
I hope one day they can fix:
– Shift + V not working for the depots
– In de notification menu for Diplomacy has the wrong description. It has the description for the Volcano.
In Endless mode it happens in every game.
I am enjoying the game very much. When the Volcano erupts I have a lot of fun, especially when there are riots.
Thank you for your hard work and all those good DLC’s
It was nice to see Reiko make that sculpture. First time in front of a audience instead of a behind the scenes stream.
Have a nice one everybody.
Hey Katje-Katrien,
the option to change the look of depots via shift + V will be added with the November update.
I’m not quite sure what you mean with the wrong description. Could you specify it a bit more for me?
Glad you enjoyed Reiko’s live sculpting! Maybe we’ll do that again in a future livestream.
Hello,
Thank you for the reply.
In the notification menu on the left side where you can fond the quest and such, where you can enable or disable and mute like for example: trade route or military and such. I notice when I move my mouse for the explanation to see if I want to be notified about such event, for the diplomacy it has the same description as the volcano in endless mode. I don’t know about the campaign because it has been a while that I have played the campaign.
I hope this is clear enough. I do my best to explain.
Greetings
Ahhh, yes, got it. Thanks a lot, I’ll check if it’s already on our list and otherwise create a new ticket.
My pleasure and thank you. I apologize for the confusion.
Still crashing on PS5 When loading existing saves
Nvm just saw it’s not for 2 days…. Sigh
Thank you for publishing the patch notes, and thank you so much for fixing the PS5 crash issue!
I’m truly happy from the bottom of my heart that I’ll finally be able to play Update 2.0!
