Fixed using winetricks d3dx9_43 on Anno wineprefix.

For me, Anno 1404 (33250) works perfectly if Anno 1404: Venice (33350) is not installed. Installing Venice leads to an black screen on Anno 1404 vanilla, too.

It actually works if you install DirectX.

Check this : https://spcr.netlify.com/search?q=anno%201404

The bug is definitely that DirectX is not installed properly when the Venice extension is there.

I tried to start Anno 1404 (without Venice installed) wiht the following launch options:
PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%
It installed dx9 but Anno 1404 crashes at start. Without the launch options, it works until in-game, where it flickers heavily.

Got it !!!

Thnx to yours helps.

Ubuntu 18.04 running KDE, Nvidia GTX-750 TI, i5 x64.
Proton deault.

After running WINEPREFIX="/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/33250/pfx" winetricks d3dx9 and modifying Engine.ini with 9 instead 0 in DirectxVersion.

Blackscreen dissapeared and Anno 1404 runs smoothly with videos and sound OK.

winetricks d3dx9
No changes...
Tested even:
winetricks d3dx9_43

Hi,
It is indeed possible to make it run, but with a bit of tweaks.
1/ Edit file :/home/$USER/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/33250/pfx/user/steamuser/ApplicationData/Anno1404/Config/Engine.ini

2/ If the file did not exist previously its content should be :9
3/ If it already exists make sure the DIrectXVersion line is set to 9.
Enjoy :-)
