What players say about performance
The game generally runs well on high-end computers but faces significant performance issues as the park size and complexity increase, with many reports of lag and low FPS during large-scale gameplay.
Drawn from 24 reviews that mention performance.
Common problems
- Lag/stuttering when the park gets large and has many objects or guests
- FPS drops significantly with over a few thousand guests or objects
- Poor optimization leading to reduced performance on high-end hardware
- Game slowing down and becoming unplayable as the park's size increases
What runs it well
- Playing on high-end computers with powerful GPUs and CPUs
- Using medium or lower graphic settings for larger parks
- Having a modern GPU that can handle high shaders and DirectX features
- Playing on smaller parks with fewer guests and objects
