v. 2406061037 (6 June 2024)
Hello everyone!
Let's go for our first patch! Why is it now called a patch instead of a hotfix? Well basically we kept the Hotfix term for the quickfixes after the release. Now that we're more on a cruising pace, it felt more appropriate to stop calling them Hotfixes. Also, as the "Minor Update" term is used in our Roadmap, we don't want to use that word because it'd be confusing. You might think that I'm thinking too much for just 3 words! And I might be, but I still think semantics are important :D
Anyway, the big news here is that we updated our version of Unity, fixing a video memory issue. What it does mean is that the memory issues might've been the source of a lot of different crashes or performance issues, and this might fix it for you. Do not hesitate to come and tell us if you still have those problems!
There are also a lot of different bug fixes, a bit of QoL and balancing in there. To know more about that, please read the patchnote below
Thanks a lot for playing Synergy!

v. 2405232238 (24 May 2024)
Hello everyone!
We're pushing a third hotfix, this one specifically for a single bug - but an annoying one. We're also aware of an issue where, sometimes, UI buttons (like destroying a building, or accelerating time) do not work as intended on click. However, you should still be able to use them with the keyboard shortcuts
We're actively working on this and will push a fix as soon as possible!
Hotfix #3
- Fixing a bug where, when reloading a save, citizens assignation in buildings was not conform to when the save occured
