Cities Skylines Runs Slow


  • Force Direct x 9
  • Right click on shortcut, go to properties
  • Add this on the end of the target  
    • -force-d3d9
  • Final target line should look like
    • "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cities Skylines\Cities.exe" -force-d3d9
Best settings for graphics card




  • If you notice the game runs fine at first, but then after a few minutes, it starts to slow down considerably, or starts running choppy, most likely your graphics card is overheating, and throttling itself down to maintain a low temperature
  • Use Open Hardware Monitor to monitor the temp of your graphics card
  • While the game is running, Alt-Tab out and watch the temperature
  • You will notice the temperature starts to fall while the game is minimized
  • Once you return to the game, it will be running fine
