Game crashes on startup
Game crashes on startup[citation needed]
|
The game seems to hate overlays. Steam and Uplay don't cause issues, but a lot of other software, such as third-party screenshot makers, antialiasing utilities like MacType, cause crashes on startup. Disable or close them beforehand.

This issue comes from using the program Actual Multiple Monitors for multi monitor setups. This can either by fixed by simply closing the program or setting the Anno2070.exe as an exclusion in the Window Settings Tab of Actual Multiple Monitors.

Game looping after activating Deep Ocean
Bypass add-on message[9]
|
- Download the Anno 2070 offline patcher.
- Disconnect your PC from the internet to ensure the patch installs correctly.
- Once offline, extract the zip file and install the program with administrator rights.
- You are going to receive an error message related to the EULA. Ignore it and click OK.
- If the program does not start right away, repeat the installation until it starts. When the offline patcher is installed successfully, restart Anno 2070.
- The game will prompt you to restart again but this time it should download a small file.
- When this process is finished, restart Anno 2070. The Deep Ocean add-on should now be unlocked and the content should be available.
