What I need to do was to (1) apply an official patch, (2) have the right executables in the game folder with the correct compatibility settings and (3) run the game directly from the game folder. Until a few years ago, I had zero problems with the game.īut I finally made it work correctly (with Deep Ocean content and being able to join a multiplayer game). I had all the possible issues making Anno 2070 work by August 2020 (blank dialog on startup, boot loop, no DLC detected, unjoinable multiplayer lobby).
