Anno 2070 does not start - what to do?
In the first versions, the build-up game Anno 2070 shows many bugs. For example, the game does not start with many players. One of the reasons for this is a faulty AutoPatcher. We'll show you how to fix it and give you more tips on how to fix it.
Anno 2070 does not start - deactivate AutoPatcher
- Press the [Windows] and [E] keys simultaneously so that Windows Explorer opens.
- Navigate to the path "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Ubisoft \ Ubisoft Game Launcher \ games \ Anno 2070" or "C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Steam \ SteamApps \ Common \ Anno 2070".
- Here you can see the "AutoPatcher.exe" file. Rename this to "AutoPatcherNeu.exe".
- Then start Anno 2070 as usual, the game cannot find any new patches and starts immediately without problems.
Anno 2070 does not start - that can help
If the problem is not with the AutoPatcher, you should install the update elsewhere:
- Start Steam or Uplay and check for available updates for Anno 2070. If patches are available, install them.
- Alternatively, you can download and install the current Patch 2.00 directly in the CHIP download area.
- If that doesn't help either, change to the Anno 2070 directory again and right-click on the "Anno5.exe" file. Select the option "Run as administrator" and confirm the security question with "Ok".
