Too many ships choked Anno 117 engine. New patch aims to bring back smoothness strategy fans have been waiting for

Ubisoft is releasing a new update for Anno 117: Pax Romana around the middle of this month. The update is version 1.3.

The patch aims to fix many issues in the game, including crashes.
Optimization will also be improved. The game won’t lag as much anymore when there are a lot of ships and other units on the map.
The developers also promise to fix a number of bugs. One of them makes Caeso not spawn correctly on the map, and another one sometimes messes up upgrading building plans.
A nice touch will be the addition of the player’s logo to their ships.

Return of crossplay on PC and PS5

Good news! Crossplay is back on, but currently only works between the PC and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. It was temporarily disabled in late November due to delays in releasing a multiplayer fix for the console versions.

Crossplay is now working again on PlayStation 5 thanks to a recent update. Xbox Series S/X players will get crossplay functionality with the release of patch 1.3, which will be available on all platforms at the same time.

I’m really excited to hear the developers are continuing to support mods! They’ve already allowed us to create and share stuff on Mod.io – there are 130 projects up there already, which is amazing – but they’re planning to make things even easier. Apparently, they’re working on a dedicated in-game menu where we can load and customize our mods, which will be a huge improvement!
