I don't care, I'd rather have them implement a pauze where I can actually do things rather then watch a big fat game paused on my screen. Comment by Anno 1800 staff, UbiCecce: UPDATE: the issues related to. Wether you agree with their descision is up to you. The devs here have decided to not bother with allocating resources to fixing potential desync issues and instead distribute there resources elsewhere to new content and other potential issues and thus disable the ability to speed up the game in mp ensuring stable data transfer and processing in multiplayer. the dev team however dedicates alot of effort to solving these which can be an extreme headache for a developer, it relies alot on effeciency.Īnno 1.8k is not as bad as say stellaris or hoi4 but still carries alot more data then needs processing per tick then say sc2. Modders do not guarantee any support for their mods, but from experience they are willing to help you if you take initiative by contacting them or by reporting issues with their mods.Enabling speed controls in an rts like starcraft from a technical pov is relatively easy to the desync issues which could potentially occur, however with games such are ck2, hoi4, eu4, stellaris, it's a completely different beast.

If you have problems with a mod you downloaded somewhere you have to look for yourself, where the problem lies, if the modder brings an update or if you can get rid of the problem in another way or fix it yourself. To start a cooperative game in Anno 1800, join a multiplayer session that isnt full. When you are modding your gamefiles you won't get official support from Ubisoft if you have problem with your game - act on your own risk! Mod-users usually have a harder time with problems, because the error can also be caused by mods themselves (see Troubleshooting section). Users are not getting banned for using mods there is even a category for it on the official forums Ubisoft-Forum, even if there is not so much going on sadly. Modding is not supported by Ubisoft, but it is tolerated. We both have the exact same mod setup and everything else. (We hate the tax limitations the game gives us) But if we join the other ones lobby the game says: 'Check Game Version'. In most cases, modding is not (actively) supported by development studios this is also true for Anno. Me and a good friend really want to play anno 1800 together with some mods. Modding stems from "modify" and in our case means changing the game files from Anno 1800. By default, this should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games\Anno 1800\Bin\Win64. It should also help you to understand mods and modders better, because you even might have some ideas modifying Anno 1800 yourself. dll files and put them in the same directory as the Anno 1800.exe.
It should help you to decide whether you want to take this step and use mods, or if you have problems using them. My goal with this project at this point will be trying to provide a comprehensive first contact point if you are not familiar with the topic yet, but want to know more about it. Without having a common hub gathering all the knowledge needed where people can go to to inform themselves players getting more and more overwhelmed and trying to seek help from other on various social platforms usually having trouble to find the specific information they need. In normal multiplayer, a maximum of four players compete against each other and each also play one faction alone - in other words: you have to take care of all the tasks yourself. So one team member can take care of building the city, another explores the world and a third takes responsibility for agriculture.
In contrast to classic multiplayer, up to four players play a faction in co-op mode.
As modding Anno 1800 getting more popular, more people report having various issues, be it mods not working correctly, general misconceptions on how to set it up or even wanting to ajust an existing mod to their individual needs and style of play. This is how the 'Anno 1800' co-op mode works.
