Pompeii: The Legacy News

[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!

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

[h2]🛠️ Patch v0.502.3 – Clearer Trading System[/h2][p]
This patch focuses on making trading clearer and easier to understand, especially when problems occur due to target quantities being set too low or too high.
