[2020] How to enable DLC in multiplayer game

Hi SamuelPachechco,

Thanks for getting in contact with us. What game version are you currently running in Anno 1800 and what version is your friend using?

You should be able to continue playing after purchasing DLC, as long as you both have the same version and exact same version of DLC.

Can I ask which game launcher you have been using to play the game so far? Do you also have a screenshot of the message it gives you for context?

Thank you.

Hi there SamuelPachechco, thanks for getting back to us.

I have passed this request and your information onto the Anno game team to get a definitive answer for your particular situation, I will update you as soon as I hear back from the team, thank you!

UPDATE:

Hello again SamuelPachechco.

After asking the Anno team about this issue they confirmed that there is no way to play a multiplayer campaign, there is only sandbox mode multiplayer with DLC.

You can probably play a multiplayer campaign mode when used with mods, but Ubisoft doesn't really support that and I am not sure if the DLC would work in this instance either.

As for the DLC activation, after buying and installing the DLC, normally when you load the single player save game, a message will appear asking if you would like to activate the DLC on this save game. If the DLC is greyed out in the menu, this usually means the DLC has not been released yet, but is part of your season pass, so it will still show in the menu.

Hope this clears thing up for you a little.
