Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Anno 1800
  • Steam AppID of the game: 916440

System Information

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

steam-916440.log

Symptoms

The game boots up and then immediately crashes, showing the following error message:
Bildschirmfoto-680
This is with the Uplay overlay already disabled.

The game does actually work on my wine-tkg 4.6 setup, although I'm not sure if that's due to wine itself or any native libraries installed through winetricks.

Reproduction

  1. Start the game, for the first time and let it crash
  2. Disable the Uplay overlay
  3. Start the game again, it'll fail with the above error

Research direction

Start by reproducing Anno 1800 with Proton 4.2-2 using the listed steps, then inspect steam-916440.log alongside the linked system information report. Compare the failing setup with the reported wine-tkg 4.6 setup and any installed native libraries. Done when the crash is fixed or the compatibility cause is narrowed down with an updated log and reproducible details.
