HOWTO

In order to get the game working you must enable DirectX 9 instead of DirectX 10:

Locate the Engine.ini file (drive_c/Program Files/Ubisoft/Related Designs/ANNO 1404/ or drive_c/users/%username%/Application\ Data/Ubisoft/Anno1404/Config/ )
Edit or add a key named DirectXVersion and set the value to 9
The file should look similar to this: http://pastebin.com/7E5jSXnA

The game should run flawlessly then...
