Did they intentionally corrupt the game so you are forced to buy the history edition?

but can't find a way to put a proper pause function into Anno.

I have wood and tools and they are ready to advance but they don't. Any ideas would be great!

So, I don't own the History edition, but the old "Gold edition" that had Anno 1404 and Venice as the Add on. Anno 1404 runs smoothly on the Steamdeck, but as soon as I install the Add-on, the game only shows me a black screen, but I can hear the music and see the mouse cursor just fine. Does anyone have an idea, or possibly found a solution, to run the Venice edition on the Steamdeck as well? Thanks....

How tf do I pause this?
