no matter which proton version i try to run the history edition in, the best it was able to do was launch into a blackscreen and throw a cant find uplay error, protondb was no help at all, none of the tips there helped, neither changing the engine ini, nor using lutris
im trying to get it to run on endeavouros and nvidia
the only anno 1404 version i was able to run was a torrented version from a collection of history editions
any help would be appreciated
Try Mitsukuni’s suggestion here and adjust it to your needs (This one is Dawn of Discovery but same as Anno 1404).

since this is proton db again (and an unrelated fix) and not even the history edition i didnt expect much and as i thought, its worse now
the game wont even start anymore, thanks
Oh it’s history edition. Well, I completely missed that part. It seems people solved it with a Lutris script.
By the way, since you have Nvidia and you use EndeavourOS, you are probably on driver 545. That driver has a problem with Proton 8 and later ones. Maybe trying Proton 7 would help.
unfortunately “no matter which proton version i try to run the history edition in,”
Cool there, cowboy, this fella’s been the only one with a suggestion so far. I wouldn’t bitch around if I wanted any further help. Unfortunately I haven’t tried Anno 1404 yet so no useful advice here. Good luck to you, it’s a lovely game.
yeah sorry, i was just caught after trying for a very long time, apologies if they see this
its really weird tho how i only got one specific version to work (probably cause it removed uplay)
