[/p][hr][/hr][p]
The update is coming very soon; stay tuned, and prepare your city for its grandest chapter yet! [/p]

[p]Patch v0.503.5 [/p][p]
This update fixes three potential bugs that could cause the game to crash, especially during the later stages when the city has a large population. [/p][p]If you experience another crash, please send the log file from the game root (PompeiiLog.txt) along with a short description of what happened. It will really help me track it down. Please email it to: [email protected]
[/p][p]Thank you all for your support and patience![/p]

[p]Thank you all for your patience and support! [/p][p]
I’ve been testing the game on several configurations across Windows 10 and Windows 11, and I’d like to share a few important notes regarding memory usage:[/p][p]If your system has 16GB of RAM, it’s very important to close all unnecessary applications before launching the game - especially internet browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Mozilla Firefox.
Windows 11 in particular tends to reserve a significant portion of memory for background processes, which can leave less available for the game.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ Patch v0.503.2[/h3]

• [p]Fixed a bug where a “ghost” selection remained after entering the empire map with a building selected.[/p]
• [p]Optimized several large models and textures.[/p]
• [p]Improved loading performance in late-game cities >> up to 50% faster.[/p]
• [p]Reduced overall memory usage by around 8%, which should help reduce crashes on systems with 16GB RAM.[/p]

[hr][/hr][p][/p][p]The next big update arrives on October 27th, bringing even more optimization and hopefully an even smaller memory footprint - along with new content and improvements![/p]

[p]Thank you all for continuing this adventure with me in Pompeii: The Legacy!

Patch Notes – v0.503.0[/p]

• [p]Added around twenty new random events to Sandbox Mode, they’ll appear every few months in-game.[/p]
• [p]Loading times improved by 20% thanks to optimizations to buildings and hedges.[/p]
• [p]Rapid clicking on the +/- trade quantity buttons in the City Panel no longer opens the Stock Panel.[/p]
• [p]Exiting the game is now much faster.[/p]
• [p]Additional polishing for the French translation, along with minor fixes for several other languages.[/p]

A major update featuring new buildings, improved campaign and event systems, extensive polishing, and much more![/p]

[p]Hot Patch v0.502.8[/p][p][/p]

• [p]This small patch fixes the lag that occurred in the later stages of the game, especially when players had multiple water reservoirs and added or removed buildings. The issue has now been resolved, and the lag should no longer appear.[/p]
