Hello All. I have started playing this game recently and was wondering how everyone was doing on average FPS. The game was running smoothly at the beginning but slowly as I filled the map but not much (7k guests) my average frames dropped by a lot. Its still playable and great but of course its not as smooth. I understand that the game runs on DX11 and I have read on another forum that the devs wont support DX12. I have an i7-8700 and run a gtx 1070 with 16GB RAM. How you guys doing with fps?
Whats your avg fps?

Really depends on how you build. I tend to create large, VERY detailed parks, something that PC struggles with, especially if, like in my park, you use a lot of water effects even while paused and closed. I had about 2/3rds of the park filled when the fps started dropping like a rock from the average of 17 fps down to 4 fps. So I made multiple copies of the bench, then had each of those concentrate on just part of the park while I deleted anything that couldn't be seen of the rest of the park. Went back up to 17-18 fps but, but after a short time I was back down to 4 fps. Frustrating.
I've just been messing around on a much smaller park bench lately, and even it is running around 25-30 fps but slowly dropping, and there's only a couple rides and the park closed. My specs are a lot lower than yours (i7-2600, GTX 650 Ti with 16GB RAM), and the graphics are set lower.
Surprisingly I was able to download and open Fisherman's monster park file. 4 fps and I couldn't actually ride anything because of the lag, but it did open. LOL!

Good.
Might as well look at screenshots of the game.
Also my post didn't merge, not sure why.

It depends. FPS is always affected by the amount you build and number of guests. I don't build a lot of super parks, so for general play I have between 60 - 100.
I did build one big park and was careful to optimise my building where possible. I stopped adding to it at 20fps and was happy with what I had achieved with my hardware, before it slowed too much.

Tips to improve FPS:
- Limit guest numbers through a setting in park management
- Avoid use of too much glass, billboards and special effects as these have a high impact
- When building, be mindful how you build. Using terrain tools over 1000s of rocks for example. Deleting walls that cannot be seen etc. Many workshop builds have 100s of items in them to make small things like custom trees which can be expensive to place for performance.
