New Anno - Anno 117 Pax Romana

Demo Bypass is out.

Maybe someone can try it.

Open the Anno117.exe in your Hex editor of choice (https://hexed.it/)
Go to the offset 0x02952a43
It's the 15th 80 EE 36 00 (3,600,000)
Edit to the number you want in milliseconds
The max would be 1000+ hours with FF FF FF FF (4294967295)
Save and then run

Works a treat! The only issue was I was enjoying it so much, I forgot you can't save in the demo!

:cry:

Does it actually give you the next tiers of buildings etc though, or does it just give you "unlimited" time but you just get like 1000 hours of the basic buildings

Yes, you get new tiers and buildings :)

Are you sure?

I played the Celtic one yesterday and still seemed to cap out at 2 tiers.

Nonetheless, it was nice playing it at my normal leisurely pace.

I saw one of the devs mention on Reddit that this is a build from a couple of months ago, so a few bugs etc that are in the demo have been fixed in the current code.

I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get troops onto a boat, but may just not be possible in the demo.

Yeah the devs said that the demo is from June so an old build, they also said that game balance in the demo is all out of whack because the balance and speeds of things have been altered to take into account a 1 hour play time so the balance is not reflective of the balance of the full game.
 
Well its gorgeous graphically, runs a bit slow on my ti super 4070 mind you. Hopefully be a bit more optimised upon release.

Its annoying you can't save, and the UI is a bit cumbersome, to say the least. Its clearly designed for consoles unfortunately. That said, at super high resolution it is gorgeous and I'll definitely be getting it.

Gone are the days of my £20 physical collectors edition of 2070 :D

Don't forget, the season passes will probably be an extra ~£20.
 
Found my old "big box" copy of the original Half-Life yesterday - complete with £24.99 sticker....I guess game prices are only keeping pace with everything else.

For Anno 1800 (bearing in mind it wasn't on Steam originally) I wound up buying things via Epic and Ubisoft store directly when they had deals on - both of them at various times did deals where you'd get £10 off on top of sale prices, which made the game and DLC far more palatable even close to release dates.

Not sure whether we'll see those kinds of deals again, but if the cost is offputting I expect provided you're flexible about where you buy it from the price will become more competitive.

As excited as I am about it, I'm not sure I'll shell out £50 either.

Anno 1800, iirc, was there to pre-order on steam in 2019. I was tempted at the time. When it launched UBI pulled it and made it, for quite some time, an Epic / UBI only purchase. Those who had pre-ordered from Steam were able to run it, although the forum over there contained a lot of hate for what UBI did at the time.

I have seen the basic edition for around £39 or so, with 11% cashback. I'll pick it up at some point, not sure about pre-ordering.
 
I'm looking forward to this but the one big thing that concerns me is ubisoft launcher, I recently played through Ass Origins and the launcher would often just log me out, even though not logged in anywhere else I could find, and close the game meaning I had to log back in and re-launch. Not played 1800 for a while so unsure if game specific.

This does look very nice, and I love the era\setting
 
I've only had one issue with the Ubi launcher that I can think of, and that was, at least I assume, they changed the version numbering. So my old 2070 disk had a version on it and at some point when I went to install it via the disk it would tell me there was a new version (there was) so it would download the latest version, except the latest version wouldn't install because it thought the disk version was newer. Presumably it had a higher number. So it was an endless loop. Had to download the game via the launcher to get it to work in the end.

I don't think I've had issues with 1800 kicking me out when they've been having issues, but I could be wrong.
