First of all if you like this type of game, if you put the time in to learn how to play you should Love this game, hands down.
I have 711 hours in train fever and 267 hours in Transport Fever. I am the type of person that uses twitch and you tube to get a good grasp on a game before I play it, so I had several hours of watching others play the game and knew enough to know what works an what doesn't work.

I've seen a lot of lag complaints from new players and even some older players. One they did have to change how the games saves the yearend save. it takes much longer then it used to in transport fever. Why because this game is massive and complicated to boot. everyone lags when you get to end game there are just flat to many tasks for any computer to handle smoothly. the yearend lag and end game lag, I put up with because I like this game. which totally surprised me, I basically never watched the genre, until one day I found a you tuber that seemed interesting playing this game, and I caught the infection, so to speak.

But those of you complaining about video card lag, your wrong about this game, it is top notch in video and game quality. you either dont actually have a video card in your set up, but a chip, and I5 is a laptop proc and its not going to handle the untold numbers of tasks nor is it going to run 60 fps, when you have every thing turned on and over the top . its going to lag like a sick puppy. go into setting and turn them all to miniuim.

I run a first genertion I7 and 6 loosy gigs of ram I have a very old out of date video card too, a GTX 460 v2 its got a few more letter in its name, but it handles this game very well for an out dated and low end I 7 I still mostly turn up the graphics, I'd rather lag then not see the bling of my trains. I've had very very few crashes but I had some. when I turn video setings down I only lag at the years end save and late game, as it should be, in a very complex enviroment. just think of all the things that are running in the game it all adds up to lag at end game. I put up with it I know I don't have nearly a high enough computer to handle this.
I sincerly reccomend this game as a BUY. If you know you enjoyed some earlier games that were very much the same.
I have paid for all of my games , I never take freebies for doing something. If you have a low end computer and believe it can run this think again! your going to lag severally at times, there is just too much going on in the game. If you won't turn your graphic's down to the lowest settings and then gradually raise them until you hit the wall with your graphics, your probably going to hate the game. I read the states of poster most all of them are playing I mid to low end computers and believe they compeat with the guys at the top of the pile. know what your machine is really made out of, I buld my own so I know every part it has.

If you don't want a lot of issues laying track play a flat map, I love those issues and so play accorningly like mid or even moutain maps. I like the challenge of it, I like starting out slowly and profitablely, I don't take loans very often. its another challenge to make the game harder. some of the maps you get a very well done for being random. accept I hope they reallize something in the near future, America isn't all sand, very litlle of it is. you really need a map generator that does half and half, that would be more acceptable,

Lastly don't expect a walk in the park. its not super easy to play. its has demanding as any high end game is.
