Hey everyone,
I have played Anno for a few months a while back (I'd say 6 months ago). Haven't touched the game since.
Today, I wanted to get back to playing but all of the sudden the game is unplayable. As soon as I load the game everything stutters, freezes and occasionally crushes.
Menu is ok, no issues there, the problem happens as soon as I load a save.
I tried:
- Creating a new save from scratch
- Playing around with graphics settings, switched from Custom to high, then to low.
- DX11 stutters even in the menu, so I reverted back to the original setting which was set to DX12
- Verified game files
- Updates drivers for my GPU
- Updated Chipset
- Updated BIOS
- Reinstalled the game
I have a Ryzen 3600 and an RTX 2070 Super. I'm not sure what to do anymore.
Here's an example of how it looks in my game.
The only thing I can think of that was changed since I last played the game is that I upgraded to Windows 11, but surely a company like Ubisoft already optimized the game to run on practically the same OS?
Any help would be great
Edit
Found a weird thing. When I focus on my other screen, or practically anything else than Anno, the game works smoothly in the background.
