The Colossal Order has been said to be focusing on the following areas
Performance Improvements
“Specifically, we are working on the level of detail models for the assets. This includes both adding missing LODs and improving the existing ones to improve the GPU performance. It might take more than one patch to address all of them, but we’ll roll out the first fixes as soon as possible. Following the asset and LOD fixes, we’ll work on improvements to CPU performance. This means focusing on the CPU stutters and simulation performance to improve simulation speed and smooth out the experience while scaling up the size of your cities”
Bug Fixing
“We continue to go through your bug reports and have logged around 100 reproducible issues that have been moved to the team to look into. There are another 100 reports that we are still investigating that require more information and a bunch of duplicates, some of which add valuable information so we’ll go through all of them. We are also checking suggestions for improvement or new features, but these requests are currently at a lower priority.”
Editor Support
“The modding beta group is testing the map editor and we’ll improve it based on their feedback before releasing it. The placement of water on the map is under review since it’s currently too complicated. The UI will also receive a bit more love as it’s really difficult to find the available assets that can be placed on the map. We’ll keep you updated on the progress of the Editor and code modding and their release schedule, but the performance and bugs need to be sorted out first.”
So, from their official statement, it is clear that they working on the new updates. Here, we just hope that these issues will be taken care of and players can enjoy the cities: skyline II game.
