ANNO 1800 - SteamPlay Proton
Raw
install.md

Get Anno 1800 (Steam Version) running under Linux

Tested on Ubuntu 21.10

Anno 1800

  • Activate Proton in Steam settings
  • Install Anno 1800 within Steam
  • If you run the game now it will show an error message that Ubisoft Connect could not be found

Install Ubisoft Connect

In my case the game was installed on another drive called GamesSSD so paths may vary. Also change the username.

You need the path to your steamapps folder for the SteamLibary the game was installed in.

  • Download Ubisoft Connect Windows Installer
  • Set enviroment variables, both paths are the same
    • export STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=/media/user/GamesSSD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/916440
    • export STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/media/user/GamesSSD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/916440
  • Run the installer with the included proton
    • ~/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/proton run /home/user/Downloads/UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe
