Analysis — Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 on the Steam Machine
In a simulation the tick, not the renderer, sets the pace — a big late-game save with more agents and buildings is what slows the Zen 4 CPU. Graphics presets barely move that; population and map size do.
Very high frame-rates buy little in a simulation; spend the headroom on detail, and keep CPU-side settings (population, map size) in check.
32 ProtonDB reports rate it Gold (runs perfectly after tweaks), in line with Valve's Deck Playable rating.
