Experiencing Lag Only With Guests
I've seen people be able to completely fill their franchise zoos with buildings, exhibits, enclosures, animals, guest areas, etc. I have ~ 100 hours in the game and have been, in the past couple of weeks, trying to get better at creating zoos, keeping guests happy, keeping animals happy, breeding, creating beautiful areas, etc., etc. Typical Planet Zoo things!
I play on PC and have, admittedly, quite a good PC. It's a desktop, it has 64GB of RAM at 7000, 7800 XT with a 7700X. I'm probably 25-35% complete with the space I have in my zoo, with tons of animals and decor and whatnot. I have around 7,000 (a bit less) guests in my zoo typically. I don't lag whatsoever except when I am looking near my primary/original zoo entrance, where guests congregate in huge clumps. They have multiple different ways they can go, but the primary entranceway is where they all seem to clump up and get completely stuck.
Attempting to combat that, I have two additional zoo entrances that I've purchased and placed away from the original one. Not sure if it matters, but I'm in North America on Temperate, completely flat.
Any recommendations/suggestions/help? I'm in the process of building a new PC (9800X3D with either a 5080 or 5090, depending on cost and performance), but I'm probably still a year or so out from that. Would even a PC of that capacity be able to handle (I'd assume so & really hope so lol). TIA!!
