Ubisoft has issued a new patch for Anno 1404, fixing a number of bugs and improving gameplay elements.

The most important changes include:

• A crash while saving a game could result in the online profile being lost. This error has been fixed.
• The use of special characters within the Windows user name, profile name or savegame name caused several errors (eg invalid savegames or crashes). This error has been fixed.
• Memory errors could lead to invalid savegames under specific hardware configurations. This error has been fixed.
• Ships which have destroyed a target now wait at that spot for new orders rather than returning to their starting point.
