First of all, DirectX 10 is working correctly again, meaning that you can enable the Transparency option in the game’s graphics options. The good news is that we have been busy investigating these issues since then and will be addressing them with the release of Anno 1404 History Edition Game Update 1.3 soon.
In addition, it was not possible to select DirectX 10 as your preferred API, instead being forced to use DirectX 9 (which also meant that some graphics options were not available). When we first released the Anno History Collection a month ago, many of you reported less than satisfactory performance, which was sometimes much worse than in the original release. Today we also want to give you an update on the situation regarding the Anno 1404 History Edition’s performance.
