[ORIGIN] Games Tabbing Out/ Games randomly auto-launching
Problem I’m playing an Origin game but it randomly tabs out, minimizes or goes to windowed mode Origin coming to the front while playing a game. While doing something else, another Origin game randomly starts up Origin randomly starts itself, asking me to login. Cause Probably an issue with recognizing the licenses. Solution Close Origin Stop the following processes through the task Manager: OriginWebHelperService.exe and OriginClientService.exe Delete all files in the following folders (These folders are hidden, you need to unhide them first) C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\EA Services\License Restart Origin

[ANNO 1800] Achievements window constantly opens
Problem Since Update 3 the window with the achievements constantly opens up without being triggered. Cause Since Update 3, the key A opens the achievement window. This leads to a double assignment for the A-key for players that don’t have direction keys on their keyboard as A also pans the camera to the left (WASD). Solution Open the options and choose the tab Controls. Just assign a different key to Toggle company menu.

[ANNO 1800] Farm shows missing fields although there’s plenty
Problem My farm shows missing fields although I’ve build the required amount of fields. Cause Make sure you don’t build the fields while in blueprint mode. Fields build in this mode are visually very hard to distinguish from the normal ones. Solution Click on one of the fields and then click on the Upgrade button to actually build the fields. If the farm itself is also in blueprint mode, the fields will be built automatically if you build the farm itself.

[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.
