This is so annoying - i played every release of "Anno 1800" but this one does not want to start. The newest error after some really big updates: The Procedure entry point ... in DLL ... Anno 1800 not found (translated from german).
Hey you guys from ubisoft. I understand that u want to protect your games. But if it is not possible to play them - isn't this the perfect protection?
Well maybe if i disable anything but MS on my computer it might run but - why do i not have problems with steam games but with yours? Aren't you able to fix this?
Sorry but i am currently really angry as i was so happy to buy the game and to play and now i am updating and posting errors...

Hi drummelbummel sorry to here you are still experiencing this problem and unable to launch the game.

I see you have disable Microsoft services on startup. Can I ask do you have any anti-virus software running? Please make sure to whitelist Anno and the game launcher if that is the case.

Do you have any conflicting software such as a game overlay running or any overclocking software? This can sometimes stop the game from launching too, and you can disable it in the same way through Task Manager in the Start Up programs section.

Another option is to verify the game files, in case anything went wrong in installation of the game.

Let me know if any of this helps you or not.

As far as i can say, it was a problem with the protection of regular installed programs. After moving the launcher to the root of my games drive everything was fine.
Thx for the follow up. Have a good time.
Hello! Thank you for keeping us up to date, I'm happy to know everything is working now
