Hello everyone,

today, August 6th at 6pm CEST we will deploy Game Update 4.2.
Below you'll find the Notes:

Fixed an issue where some piers and trading posts were not correctly registered by trading ships. Ships will now check all available options to unload their cargo when stopping at an island.

All participants of a multiplayer match with the Sunken Treasures content will now receive the discovery expedition when loading a savegame in which the unlock conditions are fulfilled. Previously, it could happen that only the host of a match received the discovery quests when loading a multiplayer match with an existing savegame.

Fixed a minor issue where the Sunken Treasures discovery expedition would still get triggered even after the player declined to start... Read more

Hello ABigOlBear,

Welcome to the forums! Please feel free to reach out to our Support Team for technical assistance.

Hey there everyone,

Thanks for reaching out. If you are experiencing this, please reach out to our Support Team directly so they can investigate this issue.

Hello Sappiracco,

Welcome to the forums! DLC is never required for you to play the base game. The notification was there to make players aware the content was just made available, but you can simply close it out and it should not bother you again.

I hope that you enjoy Sunken Treasures!

Release Notes for Game Update 4.1

After some reports we received after we deployed Game Update 4.0 and released �Sunken Treasures�, we will apply a hotfix to Anno 1800 today, July 31. at 10pm CEST. Game Update 4.1 (4.0.88) is an update to fix the following issues:

• Fixed a situation where a blueprint of a building that costs influence would break the influence count of player�s save file upon reload.
• Fixed an unintended behaviour where an Enemy AI�s Trading Post could drop upon destruction a lot of scrap resource which could�ve been sold for huge amount of money.
• Fixed a graphical issue that occurs with the maximum zoom level which affected the visibility of buildings in the distance.

Hey there Easylife80,

It should be available for you now!

Hello AORUS2017,

This may be because as gciniciato stated, the DLC has not released yet. It should become available on July 30th.

However, if you would like to reach out for clarification, please feel free to contact our Support Team.

With July 30th, the release of our first big Season Pass DLC �Sunken Treasures� and our Game Update 4, which includes many quality of life changes, draws close. But before we share the full update notes of GU4 with all of you, we want to talk about our upcoming �Sunken Treasures� Twitch Drop Event!

Hey there Fnkershner,

Hmmm, I haven't heard of that specific easter egg! I'd be interested in knowing more too, I love Easter egg hunting. Hopefully someone here will have more information about it!

I've searched on Youtube for Anno 1800 Easter Eggs and came up with a couple of results, have you tried Youtube?

Release Notes for Game update 3.1
After we received reports that some of the issue in Game Update 3.1 are not resolved and an instance leading older savegames to crash, we plan to apply an hotfix to Anno 1800 tomorrow June 7. at 2pm CEST.

• Fixed an issue blocking players from finishing the �Prosperity for All� campaign quest on savegames created prior to Game Update 3. When players now load an older save, the game will check if the prosperity quest is active but cannot be completed and will then automatically resolve the quest for the player.
• Fixed an issue that could cause a crash of the game client after loading an old savegame with an active mission.
• Fixed a stability issue with the railway system, which could cause the game to crash in some rare instance...
