Cities: Skylines 2 has a new patch. But the hotel owners in your city are not going to be pleased.

Cities: Skylines 2 is still lurching towards completion. A new patch has been released to fix a few issues, including custom climates and an issue where tool modes were disappearing. Unfortunately, the hoteliers in your city will continue to be unhappy because their problems are not resolved.

The problem isn't a lack in lodgers. It's the fact that, even when all of your rooms are full, hotels still complain about "not having enough customers." This issue is caused by the "Lodging resource" being consumed too slowly. Colossal Order has been working on a solution, but it was not ready in time for the patch. It will be included in the next patch after it passes testing.

Colossal Order announced that the patch fixes the FPS problem that affected custom climates. "If your favorite map has been updated with a new custom climate, and you have had problems with it--or if a mapmaker is itching to include a custom weather to your maps-you'll love to know that this fix includes a fix for that issue," Colossal Order stated. The developer has also fixed a few crash issues and a bug which caused your citizens to shop in office buildings.

Your citizens' "job-seeking calculations" have also been optimized. I can only assume that this means either that your city is about enter a golden era of economic prosperity, driven by record-high employment rates, or that endless waves of massive and crippling general strike will spark a revolution. It's hard to tell what will happen with this type of thing.

It's not an enormous patch, but it is a step in the right direction after a bad year for Cities Skylines 2. The game was launched in a bad state and the road to improvement has been difficult. Post-launch plans have been thrown into chaos by the need to fix bugs, relationships with fans have soured and the first DLC released has further enraged people. The result is a "mixed rating" on Steam, and a concurrent players count that hasn't yet surpassed the original.

It's still progress in the right direction and work continues. Avanya, the Colossal Order Community Manager, said in comments on Steam that the team is working on fixes for the ongoing problem with homeless households and that they will hopefully be included in a future patch. She also stated that an update to the asset editor would be released "once the remaining problems are ironed-out."
