If you are running Windows 11 then this is a bug.

Since the Devs are no longer supporting the game it is up to the community to work out how to fix the problem. They will come up with a fix eventually but as with any community driven fix this will come in it's own time. Check google in case it is announced there. Otherwise try various things yourself and if you find the fix announce it in the discussions so everyone can make use of it.

I have no idea why I can play Patrician IV Steam Edition or Patrician IV Rise of a Dynasty, also by Gaming Minds which is are the old Ascaron Entertainment developers who launched Patrician and Port Royale games without any problems, but I cant play Port Roayle III which was made at just about the same time but I experience the graphics problems.

Because people are not all running Windows 11 and people keep buying the game.
You have to realise the economy. If people are buying a 10+ year old game that no one is still actively developing then it is essentially free money for the Devs. They can focus on their other projects and leave the troubleshooting to those that want to play the game to sort out.

I only wish they would release the source code officially or at least unlock modding for the game to allow those that are actively playing the game to fix the issues with the newer tech.

I found a solution, I got a win 11 laptop with both an integrated graphic card and an NVIDIA 3050 graphic card inside, when I am using the integrated graphic card, the town problem will always shows up every time, but if I switch to only use my independent 3050 graphic card, problem solved! I discussed with case with quite a few other players and they got this problem solved after using an independent graphic card. Try it!

I'm a real computer hardware dummy when it comes to that. Can you please explain how you were able to switch from the integrated graphic card to the independent graphic card.

I watched a video and figured it out.... clarkcz0216 you are awesome! Changing from my integrated chip to the Nvidia chip did the trick. Many, Many Thanks!

Sorry L'Abattage but could you tell me how you did it please? I try to disable the Integrated Graphic card but the problem still occur and my computer was really slowed down.
