FOR NEWBIES: Don't forget crack before launching the game (otherwise you will get the "no license" error). By doing one of the following:

  • Method 1: before installing the game, check the following box:
    Uploaded Image

  • Method 2: or after installing the game, open the iso file, copy everything in the "RUNE" folder, then paste them to where you installed the game, enjoy ;) (see tutorial image here if you still dont know: https://igg-games.com/how-885614657-to-install-game-and-update.html)

@For those who cannot use "update only", you should carefully read the instructions in the file "__HOW TO INSTALL UPDATE.txt"

BTW, usually, the reason people often encounter errors when updating is because their C:\ drive doesn't have enough space. Specifically, since I use xdelta, it uses the default windows temporary directory (usually the C:\ drive) to create temporary files before applying them to the game directory. That's why if the C:\ drive doesn't have enough space, the file will get a corrupt message.

With this update (v1.1.7F1), you need over 60GB free space in your C:\ drive

Are 1.1.5F1 and 1.1.7F1 the only updates we need? I saw the torrent being labeled as version 1.1.0F1 and you guys clearly didn't have ALL the necessary updates before 1.1.5F1 in the link section.

Also, 90% of the links in this page are down. So either you guys restore those links, or you link us to ALL the updates we need, so we can update our torrent version of the game.

because v1.1.5F1 included all previous version, bro @_@.... We always combine all small versions into 1 larger version, do you find it more convenient? I think it would be a nightmare if someone saw v1.1.1F1 -> v1.1.2F1-> v1.1.3F1 -> v1.1.4F1 -> v1.1.5F1 -> v1.1.6F1 -> ....

Please use the remaining host, bro. Megaup, rapidgator are both active. The developers report this game every day, I have re-uploaded it more than 12 times since then, they reported it within 24 hours, you won't even have time to download it before it is deleted.

Ah yes, if that's the case I agree with you. It would indeed be a pain to fetch all the updates then apply them one by one.

I would then assume that we can apply the patch seen here directly onto torrent version?

Hi man, is there a chance to upload 1.1.7F1 patch without this limitation? 60+GB on C: drive is just impossible without reformatting whole M2 which I just will not do because why? I dont want huge C: drive for a good reasons. I have verified version for patch and only need to rewrite the data. But 1.3GB patch now needs to kill my C: drive? :D nonsense... sorry. Also even I am checking out to not save backup in installer, its still doing backup of whole game folder so I had to delete other game because of it and now I still cannot patch it. There should be at least switch for not using TEMP on C: or at least changing the location so I can use my free SSD for it. But now, I would just appretiate this patch zipped or something so I can just rewrite it. Can you please provide this kind of solution?

There's an optimization guide on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/949230/view/3744239011016263869?l=english
Also, graphics aren't the be-all and end-all, so just do 1080p and lower your graphics. By the time you have a large city, you'll be CPU-limited anyway. It's a simulation game first and foremost, not an eye-candy game. Outside of optimization issues on high graphics, the actual game is fully fleshed out. This isn't like KSP 2.

Don't even waste your time, RTX 3070 Ti can barely run this game. 100% GPU usage even in the main menu. I tried to lower graphic settings but game looked like 30 years old title after that (billboard trees, visible pixels and plain green texture instead of grass) and oh... fps count on empty city... don't even ask.

Some of the visual effects are only there to tank your frame rate, just turn off a few things that you consider meaningless and leave texture quality/resolution at max.

Utter nonsense. Turn off volumetric clouds, DoF, motion blur, and ray marched global illumination and it runs perfectly fine. I'm getting well over 100fps at 1440p with all other graphics settings at max. Granted I have a 4090 but my friends playing with a 3070 and after disabling the things I mentioned he's getting great performance as well.

The new update version 1.0.15f1 has been released. However, I'm not very excited about this update because they did not fix the issue of cars constantly changing lanes in the middle of intersections. Like, what the hell? It's so unrealistic and makes the game feel crappy due to this kind of maneuverability. The AI looks so stupid because of it.

Additionally, I've noticed that at 4:00 PM in-game time and 4:00 AM in-game time, cars will change their path back to where they came from. Perhaps due to traffic, they stay in traffic for a long time. For example, their path is going home, but after 12 hours in-game time, they stay in the road due to traffic. They then change their pathway back to work, causing them to change lanes in the middle of intersections and make a lot of U-turns. This, in turn, breaks the gameplay experience and makes it feel very unrealistic.

I'm also waiting for a mod to disable the despawning of vehicles.

oh, i see what you mean, i guess i know your problem. You install, and it takes a long time to install (you thought it was stuck forever),... but no, it's still installing, you shouldn't turn it off. It will corrupt the files, as they are actually installing...

Regarding "copy-paste in games dir", I understand what you mean, I actually always prefer this method. But to implement that method, a necessary condition is that the files that the developer has changed in this update must be small enough. For example, if the total size of all the files that the developer changed in the update from v1.1.5F -> v1.1.7F is less than 5GB, I will prioritize creating an update based on the method "copy-paste" as you mentioned. But in this case, it's tens of GB @_@... we can't use this method.

A concrete example, suppose you have a file abc.txt, with the content "11111111....", if the developer changes the content of abc.txt to "11211111...", then How to copy/paste "only character 2" into existing content in previous abc.txt? you know, it's cant. You have to copy the entire new abc.txt and paste it over the old one. This example is a bit silly, but I hope you understand some of the reasons why. We cannot "just copy part of the content" and paste it into an existing content in a file on the computer in the usual way :D..

Therefore I used xdelta installer, you can search on google about this. It helps to implement the above solution, but in return it will take time to implement.

Make sure you install the right 1.1.5F1. There are at least 2 versions of that pach across the links, one of them is an executable, the other one is a copy-paste. Use the copy-paste. Then you just need to install the 1.1.7F1.

I think i know your propble. Please follow these instructions:

1= Have you made sure you installed RUNE and v1.1.5F1 according to the instructions above? you need to confirm this for sure, if so, go to step 2.

2= At this step, you have v1.1.5F1, right? Please help me check the SHA-1 code of the file "\Cities2_Data\StreamingAssets\StreamingData~\VT.cok", you can use 7z to get this code (if you have installed 7z, right click on file, select CRC SHA -> SHA-1). Let's confirm that, the SHA-1 code should be:
2cc23e739ff1d3e28ced6836429ac31b47fef029

=> If this step is completely correct, then you have installed everything in the correct order. Update install v1.1.7F1 definitely MUST work.

3= See if the free size of the C:\ hard drive is more than 60GB, leave 65B to be sure. Now, please install this update, it will work.

So the version you have is not the original RUNE.

Because that file has not changed in version v1.1.5f1. Just install RUNE, then the file will have the code 2cc23e739ff1d3e28ced6836429ac31b47fef029.

Should you re-download the RUNE version (12 parts) above, or do you still store the .iso file on your PC? Just reinstall from there. That file should be "rune-cities.skylines.ii.beach.properties.iso".

Did you download the games in the order above?

If it's right, you can read in the file "__HOW TO INSTALL UPDATE.txt"

BTW, usually, the reason people often encounter errors when updating is because their C:\ drive doesn't have enough space. Specifically, since I use xdelta, it uses the default windows temporary directory (usually the C:\ drive) to create temporary files before applying them to the game directory. That's why if the C:\ drive doesn't have enough space, the file will get a corrupt message.

If you encounter that error, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • You need to install version "v1.0.15f1" before installing this update.

  • You should have a free hard drive size of at least x2 the size of the game (as well as a free size at least equal to the size of the game on the hard drive C:, because during update installation, it need a place to write temporary files. It will delete after successful installation, don't worry)

  • Maybe you are installing to an external hard drive? I don't know why, but with some updates, the installer doesn't work with external hard drives.

  • Are you using mods? Maybe it has changed the original file, so the update won't work.

  • The installation process will take a long time, please don't close it, because it will definitely crash your game. Even though the update size is only ~2GB, it is actually installing ~50GB.

I played it on a RTX 3060 and it definitely wasn't anything as bad as those Steam review said, the FPS was not very high but it surely was playable; sure, you need to lower or completely turn off some of the VFX stuff to boost the performance, but they don't impact the visual quality in a noticable way.

That said, I've only played for one hour and my city is only the size of a small village. It might very well become totally unplayable when your city gets really big with tons and tons of skyscrapers. For that part, we can only hope Colossal Order to be dedicated enough to push out a performance patch ASAP.

It's very interesting to see cars and roads morphing from their lowest LoD into the highest when you first start a city, tho... modern rendering technology sure has changed game visuals dramatically. :)

I run it on medium-low graphics since I'm here for the game and not for the graphics. On my 2nd monitor I watch youtube with 1080p60fps AND THE GAME IS STILL ABOVE 60 FPS
At worst my Vram is at capacity but neither CPU or GPU are overheating or at maximum utilization, I don't think I've seen a single AMD GPU user complain about poor performance, it's all the Nvidia shill cucks complaining

i'm able to play the game with 45 fps with DOF and motion disabled, im running on 3070 laptop GPU, definitely needed more optimization as the it running worse than cyberpunk with RTX ON on release date.

If you have a good PC, try it by any means.

But if you have a potato... stay away from this shit as far as possible.

Haha, what a joke. I got it on Game Pass, i have a RTX 4090, Ryzen 7800X3D and 32GB DDR5 RAM, i can play anything perfect on 4k, and here i got 20FPS. Thanks, bye.

This is just embarrassing. I have a 4090 and a R5-3600... so worse than you, and I'm getting well over 100fps at 1440p with almost all graphics settings at maximum. Take a few minutes and read some guides or experiment a bit. All you have to do is disable volumetric clouds and ray marched global illumination. I also disabled DoF and motion blur because I frankly hate them in any game.

Thanks for the reply but it’s a hard pass for me. I didn’t buy that pc to tweak around like with a mediocre PC.

So wait... you're too arrogant to have to disable 2 things that don't matter to play a good game? How does that make any sense at all to you?

Talk about entitled... talk about ego. You bought your PC? I built mine from scratch and even I don't have this ridiculous ego that if I have to "tweak settings like a commoner" I'm not even going to try to play the game.

I mean I don't care if you play it or not but that was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard!

If you don't understand that, it's perfectly fine. I just don't feel like reading through tutorials etc. anymore. I spent a lot of money on my PC and got almost the best of the best, Cities 2 is not that important to me, so it gets skipped. I would invest more time for Alan Wake 2, should it also become such a disaster, but that's it.

seeing how you rented this game from microsoft with your stupid tax
and are complaining about it on a unreated piracy forum leads me to believe you don't have a clue about anything

Why are you people still defending bad game optimization? Did they pay you? STOP defending bad games and telling people it's their fault they didn't read the 300 comments under the optimization guide. Some people value their time and would rather just play the game than mess with the settings for multiple hours... smh

It runs fine for me. I have a 4090 and a R5-3600 and I'm getting well over 100fps at 1440p with almost all graphics settings at maximum. Take a few minutes and read some guides or experiment a bit.

WARNING: even if you have TOP OF THE LINE PC the game will run badly and that's intended by the devs

they target 30fps with recommended spec

Why the hell would developers target 30 fps let me play with 1000 if my GPU can reach that

That's not what they meant. The devs aren't limitting your framerate. 30 FPS is the standard they chose to optimizise the game and it's graphics presets around, so getting better than that will probably require fine tuning of the graphics settings.
But there is still plenty of room for them to optimize the game better. "Physical" depth of field alone drops me from 66 to 13 FPS on the main menu, which is pretty absurd if you ask me.

launch 1st fix later, the usual publisher higher ups mindset, nothing new here...

because it's a simulation game.

because they say that targeting 60fps would be a waste of time development hence they targeted 30

welcome to gaming 2023 and please dont read the requirements for Alan wake 2 or you will have an aneurysm
