[11.0.19] Very laggy, unresponsive

[Joubarbe]

So I haven't played this game in a long time, I think the last time was 8.00. This morning I've downloaded the latest beta release and I bought the new Service DLC. However, I find the game very laggy: the mouse is super slow (you should add a hardware/native option, because the cursor is hardly visible), and the WASD keys sometimes don't scroll the map very well, or the scrolling stops for no reason. Building anything is just a pain, as it's even worse with the customer trafic index layer on. Unplayable in its current state.

I also have a stable version, 9.15, that works perfectly fine.

Here is my DxDiag: https://justpaste.it/h212x

Note that the game is laggy even from the main menu.

the only time the game is super lagy n slow is in cases when i activate the mod.sys with alt+G and alter a bunch of roads, the more i change the worse it gets, but its usually only at start of the game that i activate it to make a few changes and after turning that "gov mode" off the game is back on usual fast speed. (its not my gfx ... i got 16gb dedicated) but i wouldnt call it complaining, as theres rarely a need to access the "gov mode" guess the guys in the city hall have to sign tons of papers for all the changes am doing, so the game is a superslow in this mode eheh

Thanks, that fixed all the problems.

My fans are still getting quite high when running this game; and even when it's paused, so definitely graphics-related. I know those things are hard to optimise, but if there are any hidden graphics options (or solutions), I would like to try.
