    [ANNO 1800] Game doesn’t save

    Problem My game doesn’t save anymore. If I start the game the next time, all progress is lost. The game also sometimes crashes when trying to save. Cause The most common cause for this that something is blocking the access to the local saves folder which leads to the game not being saved and crashing.

    [UPLAY] Cloud Saves

    Introduction Most of the newer games today offer cloud saving. Saves will be uploaded to the Ubisoft servers and can be used by simply logging in with the same Ubisoft account. Cloud saves are a convenient way to exchange data between computers and to create a backup. In my opinon, they don’t replace local backups though since something can go wrong when synchronizing with the cloud. Because of this it’s still important to keep local backup. Ubisoft games create a lokal folder in your Windows documents folder which allows for easy backing up via copy/pasting the folders. How do the…

    [ANNO 1800] [FIXED] Turning off right-click menu resets on the next game start

    Problem I change the right-click menu to off but on the next game start it’s reset to on. Cause Changing the option isn’t saved into the engine.ini file. Because of this, the change is not permanent and only affects the current gaming session. Solution Change the option manually in the engine.ini instead: Search for the following line: “UseRightclickMenu”: true, Change true to false

    [ANNO 1800] Broken UI for fire station, police and hospital

    Problem I have a fire/riot/sickness in my town but I can’t mobilize extra emergency service as the interface is broken. Sometimes the interfaces are also mixed up so that I see the hospital one for the fire station. Cause Unclear Solution Try clicking on a different fire station to see if it goes away. If you don’t have another, restarting the game should also help with the issue. You can just play on if it’s not urgent as the error will disappear on it’s own after a while. The autonomous part of the emergency service is not affected by this…

    [ANNO 1800] All money suddenly gone

    Problem I had a large amount of money and suddenly I’m in the negative although I didn’t buy anything Solution There are several options where the money might have gone Only buy a small amount of watches and phonographs. They are pretty expensive and if you fill your warehouses with them your money can vanquish fast. If you buy items from other fractions it can get very expensive. The option to reroll offered items is a bottomless pit. If you click on the button once, it costs 5000 coins, the second time it costs 10’000 coins and the third time…
