Sudden game breaking lag

As almost everyone else, I got my game yesterday right after it was released here in the UK. I played until night and had so much fun with creating multiple failed and successfull zoos. The game runs brilliantly on high graphic settings, only starting to feel the pressure after 1000+ guests and lots of decoration and items.

But today when I launched the game once more and started up a new "this is the one"-zoo, I found a very weird problem. Suddenly I was met with a game breaking lag that doesn't change no matter what the graphic settings I've got on. And this happened only on the first hour so I haven't even put much deco on. So I believe the problem isn't about the graphics but more of the game itself.

After restarting the game the lag was gone but keeps randomly appearing from time to time. So in case anyone else finds this weird problem do that and to Frontier this could be something to look into before next patch!

Quick question, do you have any Windows or Steam downloads happening in the background? This has affected me in the past on other games so thought I'd quickly check.

I wasn't sure of this so I checked and the answer is no. Don't have anything running in the background. It would've been amazing if that would have been the reason as it would have fixed the problem that still persist. I will uninstall and then reinstall the game to see if the problem will go away!
 
I have the same issue uninstall and reinstall but everything is lagging in spells. It is ok for like 5 min and then it gets lag and then get stuck. It was ok on the beta and also the last 2 days. It has started today and will not go.

No luck with my reinstall either :cautious: For me it can work with no issues for an hour and then suddenly the lagging comes in 5 minute waves. Pretty annoying, must say! I hoped the update would've fixed the problem but no.
