Planet Coaster Lagging on my PC - HELP !

HELP !!! GAME LAGGING ALL THE TIME ON MY PC

I'm normally pretty tech savvy but I recently started playing PC again since 2017 (Lockdown Vibes) !
However, after playing and getting more guests and rides in the game I've noticed that the game is slow to move the cursor, select objects, there's a delay in a response to pressing almost everything. Also, when I scroll in and out the graphics appear 'pixelated on the paths and scenery.' The response is very delayed and it's driving me nuts - I want an 8k like movement for the game (if that makes sense) !

I think it could be my Graphics card as all my drivers are up to date - can anyone with tech knowledge please help?!?!?!?!?!

Do you have TMT items added?

They just make things more worse and it's mostly best to avoid them.

Other than that, I wouldn't know.

Hi.
What is TMT?

I think it could be the Graphics card, but I have Sims 4 and this runs perfectly

Sims 4 is hardly comparable with Planet Coaster.

TMT = ThemeMaker Toolkit objects (imported user objects).

What are your pc's specs?

Maybe there's some slider to regulate visible guests or somesuch, that would make things smoother?
But you give no useful info, hence no one's willing to speculate what might be the cause and what might help.

Hi,

I gave information on what the issue was in my initial post.

But to repeat - when I play Planet Coaster the game LAGS !!!! So all the people move really slowly, pressing on any icon there's a delay for the page to come up, selecting items / staff there's a delay and the entire process of playing the game the best way I can describe it that it lags. When I move the cursor to navigate the screen it takes a really long time and is not smooth.

I have watched others play on Desktop and it appears smooth - to compare to an 8K video where everything runs smoothly - if that makes sense.

Can you help based on this information - I think it's my Graphics card.

Currently I have a AMD Radeon HD 6670 - does that make a difference?

Hi,

I'm using Windows 8.1
Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6670
System Processor: Intel Core i5-3330 CPU @ 3GHZ
RAM 8.00 GB
System Type: 64 bit operating system

Is there anything else you need?
Thanks

I have a few I think - are they the Blueprints that I've imported from other players?

That is your problem. That computer just isn't powerful enough to run the game smoothly with many rides and guests.

I'm confused about this... Are people running 8k already? I'm happy if I can get my games to run at full HD....

Blueprint are items you create in the game and put in the Workshop for other to use. Thememaker Toolkit items are custom made items people can make in Blender, and other programs, and they upload them through the TMTK website for others to use. They have their own special tag in the Steam Workshop.
