The Passage expanded the world of Anno 1800 significantly and to take the time to ensure quality and the support from the Anno Union payed of greatly. Furthermore, we have now a full season of content to look back and with that, a lot of valuable feedback to utilize for all future improvements and upcoming content. But while you must wait a bit longer until we can share the first news about what’s to come, we are not spending our time idly: our first update, Game Update 6.2, will land next Thursday, January 23, already.

I was in the middle of a fun game when I got booted and had to down load the patch.
In the game, I was in the process of conquering an island.
For some reason, the “accept your shares” screen just locks up and kicks me out.
After about dozen times of trying such things as unistalling Uplay and the game, I’m quit certain conquering islands is broken.
I liked the fighting aspect of the game more than anything, and realize it took a year for a patch to even attempt to fix the island defense influence problem, which of course, has now broken the game.
Does this mean the game isn’t playable until fall 2020?
Do you have that issue only on your one specific savegame or is it persistent through all saves or even new matches?
