1404 uses (Still uses?) Tages, same with the expansion but as said above I believe 2070 uses Uplay and nothing else.

DRM was removed for Anno 1404/Venice and Settlers 6 at around the same time (well, Venice was the last to have the DRM removed).

Sure but, the 65 former Related Designs devs will work on future projects with Blue Bytes, who is supervising all Free to play Ubisoft stuff.

So we can fear the worst for Annos franchise.

I wish you were right but ...

From latest news, BlueByte and Related Designs will focus together on Might and Magic Heroes Online...

So Anno franchise might simply be dead already. Crying or Very sad
How long will Anno 2070 online services survive ?

nah, anno series has a rather long development cycle.

1602 in 1998
1503 in 2003
1701 in 2006
1404 in 2009
2070 in 2011

next i'd wager will be out in 2014.

so, after a long time i thought, go ahead and buy the expansion and play some anno.

Oh the horrors.

First i had to realize, that the game wasn't attached to my uplay account (which is weird, i mean, how did i play this before lol ?)

anyway, wrote a ticket to support :

So after a long pause, i decided to give the game another go (even bought the expansion, which i wasn't able to even add or play yet). First off, it asked me to use the CDKEY to install the game. No problem, i still have it. Which is weird, since i played the game before, but somehow none of that remained on my uplay account (no achievements etc. Do you even cloud ?). Now anyways. Finally i get to launch the game .. where it asks me log in (wait, didn't i just log in to uplay and started the game through uplay ???) Ok, so i log in .. and there it asks me AGAIN to enter the cdkey (and telling me, it will then be eternally attached to my account "Sin317". Ok, among the stupidest things i've ever seen (you go, ubi) but what the heck ... so i enter the code ... and oh my, IT TELLS ME TO CODE HAS ALREADY BEEN USED ... no joke ... i just used it to activate it on the account i used to log in the damn thing.

I bought the game (Anno) as well on last winter Steam sales, if I remember correctly.

I was never able to start the game... Neutral
It stuck right when Uplay loads.

I don't ever give a fuck now. Laughing

Strange, that should not happen, if you start UPlay and log in you then go to the little cogwheel icon and "Activate product" paste the serial key there and it will be bound to that account and rendered useless for further activation.
(Which you did.)

Really weird how that instead tells you that the key is already redeemed, you've likely already checked thoroughly but just in case go to the Games tab and in the settings change from favorites (or installed.) to all games.

If it is indeed completely missing then yeah contacting support and sending them the key and account details will be the only thing you can do, really strange.


This is also a earlier Ubisoft UPlay game so it has no actual achievements though it does still have the rewards and actions system for unlocking content with those coins you get for certain accomplishments.

Hopefully support will get back to you with a reply quickly and this can be solved and ideally without getting some third party call center involved with some employee going through a list of pre-made replies or other stuff but I've had that happen both with Steam and Origin so it's always a bit of a gamble, unfortunately.

first image shows, that the game is clearly added to my account.

second image is once i launch. It tells me to insert the cd key, so it may be attached permanently to the VERY SAME FUCKING ACCOUNT i just launched the game from ..

ubifail ... on a whole other level ...

Same thing happened to me and Might and Magic: Heroes IV sadly. I tried to contact support few times but they seem to be so fking confused about the issue so I gave up and never got chance to finish it.

Well, my issue is that. even tho I added game to my account, it says that the key has been used already. Laughing Laughing Laughing
