Is it the same version as steam version or steam has a newer patch after that one?

I had a single patch before the patch. Now it crashes once an hour. I had back to back crashes tonight and then it crashed on restart and the last save file was corrupted. I have checkpoints on so not a big deal but I'm pretty much at 'shelve it' until it gets fixed up stage.

Something like this seems to be endemic to AAA titles nowadays. After the patch my graphics are much better, the game runs at a faster fps and I haven't seen a crash yet. But other folks like malchior the patch seems to have made things worse. Weird.

Should be the same as the first patch on Steam. But they just put out another on steam, where gamepass will be behind again. It's at least playable now. Seems like MS takes longer to greenlight

Devs should allow a player to delete problem vehicles and have them respawn elsewhere.

My PC was not quite state-of-the-art about three years ago, but I'm always willing to turn down settings for performance.

It's shaped like a tombstone.

You inadvertently created a pervert detector.

I also saw it your way...

We see and understand the disappointment many of you have expressed after the release of Cities: Skylines II and the recent release of Beach Properties. We asked for your patience and support, and you’ve shown those. In return, we let you down. We thought we could make up for the shortcomings of the game in a timeframe that was unrealistic, and rushed out a DLC that should not have been published in its current form. For all this, we are truly sorry. When we’ve made statements like this one before, it’s included a pledge to keep making improvements, and while we are working on these updates, they haven’t happened at a speed or magnitude that is acceptable, and it pains us that we've now lost the trust of many of you. We want to do better.

The very first thing we’re doing is to compensate those who purchased Beach Properties. We will change the pack to be a free addition to the game, refund it to the extent possible, and provide additional content within the Ultimate Edition. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to offer refunds for Ultimate Edition buyers. This is due to the distribution of the Ultimate Edition across digital and physical storefronts, which create significant complexities for executing a partial refund. We realize that this is far from ideal, especially given the dedication those who have stayed with us since launch have shown. We are committed to repaying that loyalty, and therefore, we will compensate Ultimate Edition holders by adding 3 Creator Packs and 3 Radio Stations which, together, sum up to a value of USD 39.99. This solution hopefully ensures that you, regardless of purchase method, feel you receive fair compensation.
