Very little - if none- loss of synchronisation. Of course, your own computer need to be discoverable in your network, not hidden/blocked/private. Just play with friends (in your LAN//WAN) or families by creating a game, and opening the game to other players who are in your home network. In local, multiplayer is very easy, no account, no key, no special settings. Be sure you purchase the complete game (with this add-on). Multiplayer works only when launching the add-on "Venice", not the base game. not true with the last past, as soon as you both stop playing and start playing again at the same time AI will not change anything. It will be a solo game, with your friends' name, but taken over by the AI. The saved game are solo format : it means that if you reload it later, you wont be able to continue a game with your friends. Once in a multiplayer game, you can NOT save and play again later from this saved game. Otherwise, when trying to join a game, or people trying to join your game, you will get a UDP 9103 error) And if your firewall if you have a 2rd party one (like McAfee foer me). You have the UDP port 9103 open in your internet receiver/router. In Anno 1404, you have created an "online profile" in the Profile section, and unlocked it with the key provided with the game (NOT the steam key, but the CD key found under the LINK header, right of your steam window when you gave Anno 1404 selected)
#ANNO 1404 MULTIPLAYER LAN PASSWORD#
You have created a web Ubisoft profile ( ), with a username and password You have the VENICE add-on (it allows the multiplayer via Internet) Originally posted by LILI:Multiplayer in LAN (wifi or cabled) always works. There were a few games listed and some people online in the lobby at the time I was then able to get into the Multiplayer lobby after a minute or so of it trying to connect! Havent actually hosted or played a game yet though but getting to the multiplayer lobby itself is possible. So the game accepted it and I deleted my offline profile so that I only have my online profile as It initially wouldnt let me switch over to my online profile but deleting the offline profile worked. I put that in and had to wait a minute for the game to accept it (I've heared issues of peoples keys not woking in the past but thankfully mine worked).
#ANNO 1404 MULTIPLAYER LAN INSTALL#
So what I did was install both and then load up Venice, from there I went to Player profile -> profile managment and made an online profile(It requires a Uplay account to log in but thankfully does NOT use uplay itself ) once you log in it askes for the Venice CD key.

Just so you know you need the Venice expansion installed to be able to play multiplayer. Well after buying the gold edition since it was really cheap, I tested it out myself.
