I Havent played this game in ages as it runs badly in 4k which is a shame. I had a 970 and then upgraded to a 1080ti and yet it still runs only about 40-50% of the GPU and only gives me 30-40fps with lots of stutters. When I bought the game I was told through Frontiers Facebook messaging contact that since I got the thrill seekers edition before it was released I would get all DLC for free (Which has happened for Elite Dangerous). So I have been lied to now by your Community management and given a badly optimised game. This flat out stops me from not only purchasing any DLC in the future but also purchasing any Frontier games in the future. I hope this kind of misinformation is sorted in the future.
I Didnt get what i paid for.Im actually disappointed in Frontier
- Thread starter Dreamxtreme
- Start date
Are you saying you thought that you would get all DLC release for free or that you would get the thrillseeker edition dlc for free and didnt get it?
Also running this game at 4k is going to get you very low FPS very quickly, you should try running the game at a smaller resolution. The game is not badly optimized, there are no limitations on what you can build and the more you build the more it will hurt your FPS

Thrillseeker DLC I guess is what they were referring to as posted above. They would never have told you all future DLC would be made available to you for free (that's not an option available to anyone).

Hi WhiskeyOmega,
Thanks for posting on the Planet Coaster forums.
You may have misinterpreted the message. The Planet Coaster Thrillseeker Edition does not include any DLC.
Planet Coaster Thrillseeker Edition contains the following items;
- Planet Coaster base game and any free updates for the game (such as the Winter Update, Spring Update and Summer Update)
- Planet Coaster digital soundtrack
- Planet Coaster digital sketchbook
- Planet Coaster pre-order bonus (in-game hat for your avatar and an in-game golden Coaster King mascot)
- Access to the beta version of Planet Coaster (which was available a few weeks prior to the launch of the game in November 2016)

I brought the thrillseeker edition of the game and i was NEVER under the impression that I got ANY DLC for free.
Frontier will be getting my hard earned cash tomorrow, I I can't wait to play the new DLC. I have just spent £20 on a takeaway for myself and son. This cost's less than feeding my family for a single evening. I think people either expect far to much, or just moan for the sake of moaning.
I say hard earned cash but this DLC literally costs just over an hours worth of work for anyone on MINIMUM wage here in the UK. There really is nothing to moan about. People having a moan should have brought RCTW, then they really would have something to moan about!!

i too paid for the ThrillSeeker DLC.
Joel is correct, thats all that was promised. Never any mention of free DLC. Would have been great and all.
If im not mistaken if you bought the game before release it was like 35.00 US dollars the thrill seeker brought it to 40.00 USD. Id be shocked if anyone would ever say you'll get free DLC and early access by buying early and pay less then standard msrp.
If the early adopters who paid upward of 70 or more for the game didnt get the DLC for free, no way us ThrillSeekers would XD

As a Thrillseeker owner who dislikes the licensed DLC, I hope they bundle the DLC packs together at a later point in time, maybe in a deluxe edition that can be given as a gift. It's not about the price for me, the licensed DLC is on sale right now, but I still wish they had more content like some animated props or even entertainers of Doc brown and the Munsters! we need more variety and color options for staff, especially king coaster!!! Other than that, the next update is going to be great [big grin]

Hello,
Sorry to hear you feel disappointed! However, as Joel already said, DLC was never a part of the Thrillseeker Edition of the game. Elite Dangerous is a completely different product with its own set of options; you may have purchased the Lifetime Expansion Pass which would give you all Elite content automatically. However, this is NOT available, nor has it ever been, for Planet Coaster.
If you have any technical problems with the game, we have an excellent Support team who can do their best to get you sorted. You can also check the Planet Coaster website for minimum requirements to run the game on your setup. You can contact Support here: https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/
Cheers,
Bo

That's a good GPU you got. I have an EVGA GTX 1070 SC overclocked to 1888Mhz and a quad core i7 6700k 4.2Ghz processor.
What sort of CPU do you use? For better results, you'll need a 3.4Ghz or faster, quad core i7 processor, at least. Especially with this game. I've built a sandbox map with 6k guests, 22 rides, and moderate scenery throughout, and manage 24-40fps. I play on 1920x1080 Ultra preset (full screen, not windowed).
Planet Coaster is not one of those COD or BattleField games where you can realistically expect 100fps or 60fps on 4k. Planet Coaster is a very creative game. It has very good graphics. Even big Youtubers run into lag when they build these huge detailed parks. And they have good systems too.
25-40fps is still playable. You can't expect butter smooth graphics with this game. And Planet Coaster isn't one of those games which you can play easily in 4k. 1080p still looks good and is still widely adopted. It has like a lot of computational stuff in it. Buildings which you can build piece by piece, and after a short time, you have over 3,000 pieces of objects. I think in Koali Beach, a sandbox map made by a very popular Youtuber, has over 128,000 object pieces in it. The AI guests in the game if you read their comments, you'll find how creative many of the comments are. It's not like it's been programmed into the game like a very short script.
The system requirements for this game are quite high. If you want to play on the higher settings, you should have a system which meets all of the "recommended" system requirements:
Recommended:
•OS: Windows 7 (SP1+)/8.1/10 64bit
•Processor: Intel i7-4770 or AMD FX-8350
•Memory: 12GB RAM
•Graphics: Nvidia GTX 980 (4GB) or AMD R9 380 (4GB) (Direct X 11 functionality required)
•Network: Any modern internet connection (for activation on Steam and the Steam Workshop)
•Hard Drive: 10 GB available space
The minimum requirements are a bit lenient, you can find it here: https://support.frontier.co.uk/kb/faq.php?id=292 . But that only means you can play this game on like the lowest graphics settings. An i7 6700k and 7700k processor can be overclocked to near 7Ghz. Some people have actually tried that. Simulation games also tend to be very CPU demanding. Especially with Planet Coaster.
Maybe re-check the information you read and the source of it. If they offered everything for free, they wouldn't be able to support this game. And when it comes to how well game developers mix with their community, I'd say Frontier is the best. Not EA who charge $1.99/min. Although I like The Sims 4 too. Give them another chance. The full version of this game, only came out late last year. Early to mid last year, this game was only in Alpha.
Updates to this game are free. But DLC may not be.
I recently watched a video with the new spooky DLC. I like the clouds fog and rain. It's NZ$13.99. That's less than even one hour's pay on the minimum wage in NZ/Australia. I really want a water expansion DLC with swimming pools and water slides. Popular Youtubers want it too.
