HowTo / Notes

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...

You need to edit the game's ini file for it to start.
First, change the directx version from 0 to 9; this prevents
it from trying to use directx10.
Then, changes LanguageTAG from the nonsensical 'data' to 'usa'.
Et voila, the game runs!
