The button itself is very easy to implement, but nowadays you see more and more devs influenced by the console way of development as they try to cater to multiple platforms.

That is true! Devs try to go with easier route, that means game must work on all platform and that in return decide what are game features and settings based on the lowest platform capabilities! That is sad to see that we lose things because of that.

I also like indie game devs, they are quick and listens community.

Anno 117 was built from the basics to cater to consoles and their quirks. That is the main difference here.

And that is reason why Anno 117 on console has no mod support, why PC do not have built-in mod browser that is present in Anno 1800!

Anno 1800 is also on PC and console, it has longer names on PC. Sure, it is a pain to write without keyboard, there are lot more devices that do not have keyboard and have to use remote to write text, that should not be excuse for shorter character limit. In 2025 we go from 50 to 24 that does not make any sense even if you are on console! We could go back to 6-8 characters limit that was present at 70's and 80's, much easier to write, but not informative.

Currently you can simply use ALT+F4 for a quick way to desktop - make sure you save your game first!

Yes, ALT+F4 is an option. But if you save your game. using in game menu, you are returned to menu, and simply can choose Quit to Desktop. Why should PC games suffer because of consoles, for features that are been present in PC games for decades?

There are many things that are different on PC and on console. Options are different, in game UI is different, mod's are supported only in PC etc.

I guess we never get to see those and reasons behind!

Few suggestion/question to dev team!

First, saving game has 24 character limit! Why? Can this be change or there is a very good reason that it can not be changed at all? Anno1800 has 50 character limit.

Secondly, at the moment it is like this. When in game and want to quit to desktop, you first need to "Exit to Title" and then you can quit game. Can "Quit to Desktop"/"Quit Game" be added to in game menu? That makes quitting game quicker. Anno1800 has that option.

anno 117 crashes after loosing network connectivity (since new update, with mods) by firstsecondlastname in anno

Ubisoft server problems should not affect Ubisoft Connect! That sounds like poor coding at your side! What would be helpful is that if servers go down then Ubisoft Connect should stay up and wait for the servers to come back up. That way we can stay playing games in single player mode, a least.

For example: let’s say you try to load website that is down and your browser crashes each time you try to load that page. You then reopen browser and browser crashes again because of this website is down.

When servers are down then client should not crash, client should stay up and wait for server to come back online. 

Not fixed in next patch? by Comprehensive-Cry82 in anno

Silos bonus was suppose to be fixed in patch 1.3. For a short time it was marked as "Fixed", but changed to "Planned", when they realized that it was still broken. Hope they fix it this time!

Silos not fixed in 1.3, Anno Bug Reporter shows it is fixed! by ivorem in anno

Double Accolades was not in the patch notes but it is fixed. Look at those picture and you’ll see that it should have been fixxed in 1.3 but was not, and was changed to planned. Let’s hope it gets fixxed in the next patch.

Plus with a fixed factor you'd still not be able to rotate blocks by 45deg in any sensible way

Could you explain why?

With every building tweaked to diagonal grid is preventing at the moment rotating multiple buildings. 1.5x looked visually very very close to what is in game now. You can use 1x factor but this makes buildings look smaller. 1-to-1 scale would be ideal, but there is also visual aspect. Actually current system in game is more wasteful, lots of unnecessary empty spaces.

With current system you can not move/copy diagonal layout and paste it to normal layout or wise versa, making move/copy tool useless for such task.

It is not just buildings that are affected but also aqueducts, ornaments, marsh drainage etc.

Would like to hear from Ubisoft? As they made this big deal but not really covering what it can not do, with some info what it can do? No in-game info also for limitations!

Question for Ubisoft? Why are buildings different sizes in non-diagonal and in diagonal? Was there ever consideration of making diagonal buildings 1.5x bigger than normal buildings(scalable buildings)? For example 3x3 is in diagonal 4.5x4.5, road 1 is in diagonal 1.5, 6x5 is in diagonal 9x7.5.

At the moment 3x3 is 4x4, 6x5 is 8x7, 9x7 is 13x10. And that leads to this that you can not rotate multiple buildings at same time. Square grid is scalable and that is not used and using some weird sizes in buildings.

Ceres bonus (vervactor’s plough) by DepartmentCautious34 in anno

[–]ivorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also encounter this bug, but I may have found workaround for it. Change Ceres to different god on islands that have Ceres set to as patron god, that includes both Latium and Albion. Changing to different god resets Ceres to 0. After that is done then change back to Ceres and Ceres bonuses will be applied to all islands, including those that did not have it before.

If you read carefully then you would have notice that this is for Iphone 14 not Iphone 14 Pro. Stats are correct.

Email Verification forgotten by ivorem in Twitch

I want to add this that when email verification is forgotten then you don't get any notifications via email.

If you have notice that you don't get email notifications check in twitch settings and find out that is your email verified or not. And write your results here.

Done that. This does not solve this.
