Issues fixed
Animation Speed Problems
The game has notable issues with specific animations that play too slow or too fast on modern systems. (Eg. god spawning effects and the urchin collectors along with various buildings).
Instructions[2]
|
- A user patch that addresses several of these problems (including the god spawn effect and the urchin collector bug) can be found here.
- The widescreen fix comes prepackaged with this fix aswell. See Video settings.

Issues unresolved
Unresolved Animation Issues
- No animation patches for non-digital releases of the game exist.
- Not all of the animation issues are addressed in user patches. (Eg. the trading piers, hippodrome spectators and other buildings).
