I have played a little bit and I'm a bit confused about all the negative feedback regarding the performance.
I have an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, so not too bad, but also not the best.
And the game runs totally fine for me. I just reduced the screen resolution (I think 1920x1024 or so) and left the other settings as they were (I think all set to High). And I get very constant 45 FPS without hiccups. It feels very smooth and playable. Maybe it will get a bit worse when my city gets bigger, but so far, I don't see any problems.
This is even before the first patch, which was released today. This patch is supposed to optimize the performance more. I will try it later.
Note, this is with Linux. I run it on Linux with Proton 8. So maybe it actually runs better on Linux than on Windows?
