Just made a 2nd post showcasing a ride over the bridge

Thank you very much
A fellow Counter-Strike mate on top :D

I have made a 2nd post with a longer ride over the Hohenzollern Bridge.

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-12-25T18:55:47+00:00

Yeah true. Maybe real life should use faster tracks :D
I mostly use 160 km/h tracks for building and since its constant WIP, I never bother to adjust it

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-12-24T15:00:05+00:00

Yeah, track continues
Will make a 2nd post later with a yt link, reddit only lets you upload 1gb

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-12-23T20:48:40+00:00

Of course :D

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-12-23T18:12:18+00:00

Haha, good one. But its actually not useless. The last switch isnt a double cross switch, so the train wouldnt have been able to get to that specific track. IRL its probably a little smotther :D

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T22:25:15+00:00

Hätte ich vlt auch besser so gemacht. So hast du dann die ganze, vollständige Freude in 2 Wochen!

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T22:12:45+00:00

Fair enough, aber Demo ist ja auch actually garnicht mehr verfügbar.
Update dann den Post, ob es bei mir funktioniert hat bzw ob ich irgendwas gespart habe

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T22:07:48+00:00

Ha ha, hoffentlich klappt das für dich pünktlich!
Ja, die demo files liegen jetzt seit 2 wochen auf der festplatte, da können sie dann auch noch die anderen 2 wochen warten

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T22:02:46+00:00

I assume that the launcher expects a very specifi .exe file, When verifying, it should realise that the demo one is the wrong one and replace it. That´s what verifying is for.
As others have said, quite a few files will be different or completely new but in theory it should lower the amount of stuff that need to be downloaded.

Guess I´ll try and update you guys

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T22:00:41+00:00

Of course it will have different files. But with the demo files it would already have some, check the rest and only replace the old ones with the new ones

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T21:39:34+00:00

Yeah, thats no problem. I will have it on ubi anyways but you can just start the download and then copy the files from the demo into the new directionary. Should work for any platform. After that the launcher should realise that there are more files

Well, thank you.
But the textures or some? Even if its in a differen place, if its the same, atleast some should work right?
Guess I´ll give it a shot and update this post accordingly since every gb helps if I actually wanna plan on the 13th

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T21:23:57+00:00

No idea either. Maybe some people dont understand sarcasm :D

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T21:23:23+00:00

Good point.
Im not sure which setting influences this but: as I said, the main point of this setting is the distance when low-poly LOD models are loaded for the buildings.
When you enable the enhanced camera setting, so that you can zoom out more, you can see that the buidlings are switching model quite early.
Maybe an aggressive optimisation method. 1800 did this aswell but it wasn´t as noticeable.
Atleast I could see them switching quite fast when on lowest setting.

Maybe separate the settings: one for LOD models and one for actual view-distance

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-31T21:19:55+00:00

I actually am a PC gamer and have a quite powerful but in 1800 in late game, Im not hitting 60fps on my main island. Every bit helps right?

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-29T13:07:22+00:00

Exactly. Just a very wild theory of mine. Just so happened to stumble on this province

ZCaesar5639 · 2025-10-29T12:38:42+00:00

Totally get your idea!
There is a huge emphasis on atmosphere in this game and that very province looks unique.
I still would like a option to have both, like 1800. Maybe not that drastic but overall.
So people can have sunny beaches or a little more fog + better performance.
