Game crashes on startup
Game crashes on startup[citation needed]
|
The game seems to be incompatible with overlays. Steam and Uplay do not 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.

Can not click on anything in the main menu
- This issue is caused by using the program Actual Multiple Monitors for multi-monitor setups.
Close said program or add Anno2070.exe as an exclusion in the Window Settings Tab.[citation needed]

Game looping after activating Deep Ocean
Bypass add-on message[10]
|
- Download the Anno 2070 offline patcher.
- Disconnect the computer from the Internet to ensure the patch installs correctly.
- Once offline, extract the zip file and install the program with administrator rights.
- An error message related to the EULA may appear. 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 attempt 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.
