Just downloaded Hotspot Shield Free VPN form Microsoft: Here, sat it to Japan and I just got in game!!

​

You absolutely rock!!

​

Edit: added "Sat it to Japan"

A little bit of googling suggests amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ANNO-2070-Complete-Pack-Download/dp/B00AYZRT5K/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1388197246&sr=8-9&keywords=anno although there are some reviews from people who suffered classic my-ubisoft-software-won't-work.

Use Speccy to get all of your specs. You can download the portable version so no install is needed. Then you can go through your specs and compare it to the specs for Anno (2205?). You should match the recommended specs to play comfortable in my opinion. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

there seems to be issue , and from what i read it isnt just me.

you cant search anno1800 from the epic launcher store and epic website store.

it only appears through the direct link https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/anno-1800/home
which will have a " There was a problem processing your request. Please try again later" notification

Get the anno 1800 Companion app. It's a really nice dude who makes it and he could also need more support. It's amazing for notes /production chains and many more

I keep having such problem with a number of Ubisoft games. I think it has something to do with my Internet being that crappy Dual Stack Light thing, where I am unable to set up port forwarding for IPV4. What helps me is using a VPN (ProtonVPN is free).

Well, without any further information there is not really something to go on here because this can have a lot of reasons.

For starters I would check your NAT Type. This is probably the most likely issue that NordVPN is blocking the Ports needed to communicate with the game servers to create some matchmaking. Could also be that they use double NAT which is problematic for some games.

Could also be that Ubisoft recognizes that you are using a VPN and blocks it or the IP is banned because it was used for DDOS attacks since VPNs are a good way to mask yourself.

Books by Henry Rider Haggard, I've read only 3 of his books but I thoroughly enjoyed them. The ones I read were King Solomon's Mines, She, and Allan Quartermain. The good thing is that these are all copyright free and you can find them from Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/365

Actually, looking at the Gutenberg link, I recognise a few more of the titles, I may have read more of them than I recall. Maybe it's time to load them up on my kindle again.

After the first two seasons, they released the tracks from those DLCs as an MP3 album: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QMQBM8W/

I assume they'll do the same thing again with the newer DLCs at some point.

I had this issue, but I'm not sure how I fixed it :)

If you read the Lutris pages here

https://lutris.net/games/ubisoft-connect/

you could try installing the packages they mention (lib32-gnutls and gnutls-bin).

If that doesn't work, I switched my prefix from a Lutris made one to one I made manually for Steam games (don't ask me why I ran Steam through Wine haha). This meant that the only runtime libraries that were installed were through the client, not through winetricks.

You could try making a basic wineprefix for Uplay (or Ubisoft Connect as it now is), without installing dx9 and others, just with DXVK. Then see if you get in. If you do, installing a game will also install all necessary runtime libraries hopefully, like DX, .net, VC. Then you're golden!

According to PCGamingWiki the update to the DRM driver still does not work on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. If you're running either of those, there seems to be no fix.

Wow really? USD? I'm not in the US but it shows me $109 full price and $44.99 discounted from gg.deals (US epic store price) and isthereanydeal.com (US best price). Strange.

Anyway, good deal!

There's many mods for enhanced Specialists that use Harbormaster, Trade Union and Town Hall and Ships. There are other mods, which increase the range and/or slot capacity of the above. There are Mods to enhance production capacity as well. There are Mods to ensure availability of Legendary, Epic, Rare, specialists from the Traders and Pirates.

IOW, your specific needs should be covered many times over with various mod options. Go to https://NexusMods.com, set up a free user account and Anno 1800 as target game, then do a keyboard search to find all the related mods.

Hi Tonton,

the train is not the beta of Aton's tram mod. I don't have that.

This is the train from the Trainstations mod by fishboss.

However, I have changed the mod a bit. I only have passenger cars in the train, and the cars are slightly larger and have a different colour scheme.

Since I run my power plants exclusively with coal or wood and no longer with oil, I have removed the oil wagons from the train.

Note: You can write your posts in English, I have a good translator :

Hi Butterlord,

you know that I like to build port cities. With the mod "Old-Town" by fishboss I had the possibility to integrate a small Anno 1404 harbour town into my Anno 1800 game.

My used mods:

Old-Town by fishboss, I changed this mod so that the buildings in the harbour area are buildable.

City_Ornaments_MU by muggenstuermer, I changed this mod, so that the harbour wall is buildable.

Harbour_Ornaments from muggenstuermer

Maug_Mods_1800_zierbuildings by Maug, I also modified this mod so that the elements are buildable in the harbour area.

You can play free this weekend on Epic games.

Just click on editions to show the free trial.

I played more than 10h on Ubuntu and I'm using the plain uPlay version without Steam.

​

Working System:

• Ubuntu 19.04
• i7 3770k
• 32GB RAM
• Nvidia GTX 770 8GB (nvidia-driver 418)

​

Install it from here: https://lutris.net/games/anno-1800/ (install also Vulkan if missing)

​

Configurations in Lutris:

• Wine version: tkg-protonified-4.6-x86_64 (it configures automatically Mono framework and missing libs)
• Enabled DXVK: yes
• DXVK version: 1.0.3
• Enabled Esync: yes

​

Configurations in uPlay:

In my case the game was freezing after few seconds. It is not related to online mode of uPlay, but you have to disable the uPlay in-Game overlay:

In uPlay go to settings -> General -> "Enable in-game overlay for supported games" = off

PS: Online mode works, but didn't played yet.

​

Start the game:

Now, it is a bit tricky. After starting the game via lutris two instances of the game will start. First one show an error that the game is not responding anymore (wait here) and it will close by itself. The second instance is minimized in starter bar. When you click on the anno icon it open in fullscreen mode. Have fun!

​

Configurations Anno:

I installed Anno 1800 on 29. April 2019 (I guess I got also all latest patches so far)

• VSync: yes
• Quality: mid (because of my card)

You can modify it outside the game too:

personal folder -> documents -> anno 1800 -> config -> engine.ini

Using the DXVK from Lutris https://lutris.net/games/anno-1800/ i still cant get it to work. 4.1, 1.0.3, its black screen mouse cursor and then crash.

Maybe its related to those DX11 dlls ? Could yo be more specific ? Also i am using the uplay version and not steam.

Maybe for one game like anno. Other Ubisoft games with denovo too - but that is mostly just shitty optimization and DRM running in the background.

Go run a sensor log on hwinfo and see what both gpu and cpu are running at across multiple games.

I had an i7 920 and it was still bottlenecked by a 980ti on most games. I should note that I run at 1440P.

Hi, Rincewind,

thank you for your positive comment. Could send you some screenshots of the island, but I don't know how I got them in this post.

Tip:

When you start you have to start blocks with 2x4, 2x5, 2x6 (8). Please leave enough space between these blocks so that you can build a church, school etc. there later. In the outskirts of the city you should build the houses individually or in pairs. Later you can design the free landscape between the blocks with ornaments.

Try it out, it's not hard at all, just leave enough space between the blocks to stay flexible.

The price history starts on the 12th of April and im PRETTY sure it wasn't there (for buying) a few months ago: http://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/price?plain=annoiiv0ivgold

So propably it was just re-released. Thanks for the info.

>MadHatter_10-6

at the beginning I set the residential buildings individually. This procedure had proven itself with Anno 1404.

But in Anno 1800 it is better to build the buildings in several small blocks. Between these blocks there should be enough space for the service buildings. Later, during the further development, it is often necessary to move individual buildings in order to enlarge the blocks partially to reflect the appearance of a city. In the outside area of the city the buildings should be built individually or in pairs. This creates the character of a suburb. The houses can be decorated with gardens, trees or flowers.

I have a whole book of ridiculous architectural "wonders" that never got built/completed. It is really fascinating https://www.amazon.com/Phantom-Architecture-Philip-Wilkinson/dp/1471166414

hmm it was on sale for a 27" (im looking for 32") after click the newegg ad for 32" i ended up at amazon and ended up looking at this freesync

The only position I know is at the main screen top right (where the Network icon is).

I couldn't find if NordVPN does use a double NAT but is probably likely that this is the case.

You could try add a port forwarding on your VPN which might fix that. The following ports I could find for Anno 1800

• TCP 80 (usual HTTP port)
• TCP 443 (usual HTTPS port)
• UDP 18000 (Anno 1800 specific port)

I would ignore 80 and 443 for now and try forwarding the 18000 port on NordVPN and see if that helps.

I played 1602 first when i was a kid, my dad played it for many years and it was fun bonding over that game. We once played it on "lan" when we took the train for about 10 hours. Both of us with small laptops haha, good memories.

1404 has been my favourite the last years (about half my life)

But i love the complexity of 1800, though it's a tiiiny bit too easy....

God i had 1701 on nintendo ds haha https://www.amazon.co.uk/Disney-Anno-1701-Nintendo-DS/dp/B000PGOK6O
