Introduction Sometimes game files can become corrupt or create issues. Especially after incomplete downloads/installation or game updates, problems can start occurring.

VCRUNTIME140.dll missing
Problem I’m getting the following error message The program can’t start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Cause VCRuntime140.dll belongs to Visual C++ Redistributable für Visual Studio 2015-2019. The cause for this error are either a corrupt installation or the lack of the correct redistributable. 32-bit applications like UPlay or Origin need next to the x64 version also the x86. It’s best to always install them both. To find out which ones you have installed, type Add and remove Programs in the Windows Search bar and then choose Apps and Features.…

[ANNO 1800] Corrupt Cloud-Save prevents game from starting
Problem When I try to start my game, it simply crashes . The last message I see is: Synchronizing your save games with the cloud. I’ve already played quite a few hours so it should run.

[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

Solution Drag the scroll bar on the right hand side all the way to the bottom. This will make the list visible. You can also…

[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…
