Anno 1404: Venice
Customizations:Something Else
- Installation of UbisoftConnect in the same WINE PREFIX as Anno is installed in
- Installation of DirectX from the Anno folder (!) in the same WINE PREFIX as Anno is installed in
- Adjusting
<DirectXVersion>9</DirectXVersion>in theEngine.inifiles (with and without Addon)
- It's important to use always the right
WINEPREFIXwhen the UbisoftConnect and DirectX is installed. Since I used the flatpak version of steam it was$USER/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<some-number>/pfx - I honestly believe that it doesn't matter if you use the wine version proton provides (
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 6.3e.g.) or the wine version from your linux distribution when you install UbisoftConnect and DirectX. I installed UbisoftConnect with the proton's wine and the DirectX with the wine from my distribution. - It was necessary to install the UbisoftConnect with wine. After staring Anno the UbisoftConnect application starts and ask for the credentials to login. After the authentication, Anno starts.
- It was essential to install the DirectX version which comes with Anno. In my case:
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Anno\ 1404\ -\ History\ Edition/Support/DirectX/DXSETUP.exe. A version installed with winetricks didn't work. - Editing both (with and without addon)
Engine.ini(adding 9) as it is described in any other post. - I don't use any proton start options (environment variables).
- It doesn't matter if I check the Uplay Activation DLC or not.
- I use openSUSE Tumbleweed 20210907-0
