Ja meine Hardware ist etwas älter (i7 8700k @5GHz allcore, 64GB DDR4-3200 und eine GTX 1080 @ 2275MHz) unter DX12 scheinen sich die Raytracing Features nicht deaktivieren zu lassen (Pascal GPUs erlauben tatsächlich Software beschleunigtes Raytracing, ich Vermute auch dass nVidia damals in der Architectur schon den Grundstein für Raytracing gelegt hat was man am Feature VXGAO erkennt) aber mit eben diesem nicht abaschltbaren Raytracing gibt es nur Diashow mit 6-12 FPS... unter DX11 läuft es dann bei ansonsten gleichen Settings (bis auf die RT Optionen, die es unter DX11 nicht gibt) mit 45FPS aufwärts! Zusätzlich seltsame Grafikfehler unter DX12 wie Beispielsweise helle Ränder um Vgetation herum... An sich liebe ich dieses Spiel aber, selbst wenn ich auf die "Höchste+" Settings verzichte und unter DX11 verliere ich im Vergleich zu der Version vor dem Update durchschnittlich 20FPS hier hätte ich zumindest erwartet, dass bei unveränderten Settings die Perfomance unverändert bleibt! Bringt das bitte in Ordnung, so ist der technische Zustand des Spiels nicht tragbar!
I did not buy this game on gog but still own a retail version of it. I really like this game and i would love to play it again but on my System (Win 10 pro 64 bit) it simply crashes to desktop without any warning or error message after a certain time of playing. According to many posts you get while searching around the internet, I'm not alone with my problem. There are some hints how to fix this problem, but sadly none of them worked out in my case. As far as I know Anno 2070 uses basically the same engine and it works fine, so I don't understand why Ubi doesn't patch Anno 1404. I can only guess that after 10 years nobody is willing to put in some extra work, sadly...
Extraordinary says all. The principle of the game itself is easy and well known from other games, but this is not a clone and this is not only a faming game! There are so many differnt ways to play this game, there are so many genres combined to world full of fantasy. The visuals of the game are lovely as also the soundtrack is. What makes this game special is that the developer doesn't stop giving content to the fans! The game once came for a fair price but has grown over years and there never was a costly DLC or any try to rip off extra money from the customers (in contrast to what most other developers these days are doing...) This goes out to Concerned Ape: What you are doing for your fans and customers is really impressive! In a world full of greed and bullshit this is kind of medicine for the soul! Thank You. To all who haven't bought this game yet: Just go ahead, most of you will find a lot to discover and those who won't find something in this game at least support a guy who really cares about his customers and fans.
