Cities: Skylines 2 hotfix addresses bugs, balances some in-game systems, and removes an "offensive" radio ad

techradar.com:

Developer Colossal Order has released a new hotfix for Cities: Skylines 2 which sees a bunch of improvements and bug fixes, along with the removal of an «offensive» radio ad. 

Patch 1.0.12f1 isn't a big update, but it does feature a series of tweaks that are mainly focused on in-game systems. One of those is directed at improving the balance of companies' profits, while another increases leisure probability to balance the «No customers» situation with commercial companies.

The hotfix has also improved conditions for companies to move away when bankrupt, along with «shadow LOD calculations to cull irrelevant shadow casters earlier.» The latter seems to be in the same technical ballpark as other mentions in the patch notes, such as a fix to the resolution of unnecessary large-character textures, which has now been decreased.

In terms of bug fixes, players will find that the trade source issue preventing some resources from being consumed has now been resolved, along with a dependency error with land value causing potential instability and the miscalculation problem in college/university eligible count. 

Additionally, the patch notes indicate that the developer «removed Spasm radio ad (due to offensive content),» which could possibly be due to the voiceover of someone mimicking being electrocuted, as well as the fact that part of the ad could potentially be misheard as an offensive term (via PC Gamer).

In response to a user on the Paradox Forum suggesting that the developers «caved» to a «political agenda», a community manager for Colossal Order said: «An issue with the ad was brought to our attention and we concluded it did not align with our goal of the game being welcoming to all our players. There's really no more to it.»
