Hey people? Hope you are doing great. I'll be short. I've been playing the game for the past two weeks. Three days ago completely out of nowhere the game began to get stuck at the epilepsy warning screen on start at it's starting to take longer for the game to initialize, now surpassing the 5 minutes. I've read online a few threads about people complaning with the same issue but no answer on how to fix it.

I've reinstalled the game twice, completely uninstalled it with third party programs to ensure no files are left behind. I also did a registry clear of my PC and tried only deletting the autosave files which were piling up

Hey there @Kasheon

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some freezing issues recently with your Anno 1800 game.

Thank you for sharing the troubleshooting steps you've already tried out as well, that information is really useful in cases like this 🙂

I'd like to first ask if you have made any changes to your set-up recently/just before these initializing issues started to happen, and how long ago roughly did they begin?

Did you install any new updates either for your drivers, OS, or for the game or launcher?

If you haven't already, I would advise you try starting the game with either DX11 or DX12 (depending on which you're currently using) as this has helped some other players in the past.

Some other troubleshooting steps to try which can help can be found here.

Let me know how you get on with this!
