This is still my biggest issue; really it is my only issue. Adore the game and it would be solidly in my all time top ten if I could manage to build a zoo I envisioned on announcement.
Even with a computer well above recommendations, if I allow 4000 guests into a decent sized zoo(15-25% of the map) I get 14-20FPS. I just have 5 zoos with 12-15 habitats because it’s all the game can handle and be okay.
I tried making the zoo I envisioned...managed to have every animal in the game,7500 guests, and take up 70% of the map. I wanted to save the rest for Australia,North America/cold weather, and Tropical SA. Tried going back to it with the Arctic animals...FPS when paused and building is 6. I get that it’s large, but they gave us an enormous map and allowed us to use 20% of it successfully. I don’t view most of my zoos as zoos. They seem more like personal collections of animals. I wouldn’t pay for a zoo with less than 20 species.
