does this work i dont see a difference or is a there an alternative?

Just turned this off, gained like 20-30 FPS in some areas, and generally seems a lot more stable.

This mod seems to be a SERIOUS FPS hog, it should be the first thing you turn off if your FPS is dropping... which it will, if you install this.

This has minor issues:
Forgets settings at start.

Forgets settings at start. Eats FPS.

Did he figure out Mac and Linux support yet lmao

Sun Shafts mod eats FPS. It is a known issue.

Is there any alternative to this mod it makes my fps go very low from 60 fps to 30 or 40 ish and also it's not updated to the latest version
StayHungryStayFoolish 21 Nov, 2022 @ 2:25pm 
Sun Shaft is back on the list. Please follow the Road & Vehicles compatible modlist.

Drop in FPS? Yes, but so does placing assets on a empty map. You might see a big drop in FPS,when active, in places on the map where FPS is still high up. But when already running on 20 FPS, for example, it only will drop to 18,17-ish FPS depending on camera orientation in relation to the sun. Like SHSFoolish below mentioned, you can use F8 "ingame" to toggle on/off when building or to take a screenshot or just to enjoy the view, if needed. I haven't noticed a drop in FPS when toggle off. (Laptop 2x8 gb ram)

Sun Shafts is also working for me (after 15th November), but it is eating FPS. The shortcut key is F8.

For reference, this is what Sun Shafts can still do for you: https://ibb.co/L8tM18K

This mod still works and it can make the game look even that much better...but, until there is a new version that doesn't eat FPS to the degree that this does, I am not sure that I can continue to justify subbing Sun Shafts...and that is with me running CSL on a system with a 5800X, 6900 XT, and 32 GB of RAM...
StayHungryStayFoolish 20 Sep, 2022 @ 10:56am 
Sun Shafts does not want to run. It is there, the menu is also there, but it does nothing.
ZotacTheAviator 10 Sep, 2022 @ 1:50pm 
Experienced 50% FPS drop. 120+ FPS to 60 FPS.

It not only drops FPS like mad... but also randomly crashes game:

hopefully mac support is coming :)

Hey, the settings seem to just reset themselves everytime I load up a save.
ModZilla 16 Feb, 2022 @ 1:13pm 
Why does the Sunshafts settings get reset every time I load up Cities Skylines
Nullsushi87 5 Nov, 2021 @ 5:27am 
These God rays make my game look amazing

The description states that this mod doesn't work with Linux or Mac.
Lost Nomad 17 Jun, 2021 @ 11:07am 
I have the same error on linux as @Dark Thoughts
vendium 11 Jun, 2021 @ 8:37pm 
With this mod enabled, i experienced up to 30% FPS drop! Before this mod, FPS was 75 in new small city, after activating this mod FPS drop to 50. My video card is RTX 2060 Ti. As my city will grows, FPS will drop further so i think this effect dont't worth such losses of FPS so i forced to delete this mod...
P.S. Sorry if me English is bad is not my native language.
Dark Thoughts 7 Jun, 2021 @ 3:33am 
Doesn't work for me on Linux.

Hi there. Fantastic mod. However I cant seem to be able to save the settings. It reverts to the default slider position every time I start the game. Any idea on what I am doing wrong? Thank you.
XDG1FTW 21 Sep, 2020 @ 1:06pm 
This is great! Thank you!
zin 28 Aug, 2020 @ 3:18pm 
Great mod but R.I.P. fps ;-;
KennethFN 23 Aug, 2020 @ 3:22am 
Not working for me..could it be maybe postprocess fx mod conflict..also got windows 10
Thevastatorr 13 Apr, 2020 @ 5:47am 
23 to 17 FPS drop, I will probably use it only for screenshots
BloodyPenguin  [author] 26 Mar, 2020 @ 6:58pm 
Just in case if anyone wonders, it works in Sunset Harbor without issues :)
Aelarion 20 Mar, 2020 @ 7:14am 
I love this mod, but unfortunately I have to disable it. This absolutely destroys my framerate, I lose about 20-25% - confirmed in game by enabling/disabling through the F8 menu.

Using 1080Ti:
Enabled, zoomed in: 40-48 fps
Disabled, zoomed in: ~60 fps

I realize this is no fault of the mod author, it just places a huge strain on the GPU and C:S is not very well optimized to utilize available resources.
nuki 9 Mar, 2020 @ 9:34pm 
Im not sure if this is the problem but its making my game glitched
ChrisThePhoenix 29 Dec, 2019 @ 3:47pm 
@BlobbyJelly @♔ Denber23 ♔ Weird it's working for me on windows 10 without an issue

Anyone know why sun shafts don't work for me?

Working fine with industries DLC

Do you suggest using this mod in snow map? I bought snowfall during special offer period. This mod is good in temperate map, thx:steamhappy:
AmiPolizeiFunk 26 Oct, 2018 @ 9:33am 
actually PPFX is on F9... I tried F8 today and it just weirds out and I get this repeating sound, What is the GUI menu supposed to look like?
JaK1up 25 Oct, 2018 @ 6:04am 
Great mod works well......Thanks
AmiPolizeiFunk 24 Oct, 2018 @ 4:17pm 
F8 for me brings up the Post Processing FX panel, not sure if I can change the hotkey on that one. Can I change it on this one?
BloodyPenguin  [author] 24 Oct, 2018 @ 12:49pm 
@AmiPolizeiFunk Can't you deactivate it through F8 menu?
AmiPolizeiFunk 15 Oct, 2018 @ 8:03am 
an ON/OFF option for this would be swell BP :medkit:
BloodyPenguin  [author] 6 Oct, 2018 @ 1:22am 
@A r t i f i c i a l ♥ G i r l I guess it should
