Anno 2070 Update
You need an active broadband internet connection to activate Anno 2070, to receive updates and to play the online features. I have already activated the game, I have already updated it, and I don't want to play the online features. Yet I seem to be required to register. The point is I don't want to register. I purchased an offline game, and I.
Hi everyone.When I first bought the game and played it there were no problems. But then, about a month later, the autopatcher started giving me the error.So, when trying to launch Anno 2070 it launches the autopatcher which goes.15%-25%-35%. And so on, then it says: 'Could not connect to update server'; And my options are: 'Cancel' 'Proxy' 'Start'When I press start it launches the game, but then it says that the add-on is activated so a reboot is needed, and the autopatcher starts again, and the the cycle repeats.And what I see in Steam:(DLC Chart)Item - Install - AcquiredAnno 2070 - Complete Edition - Not Installed.check.My Acquire Date.!!!! What I have Already tried:1) This:2) This:3) This:4) This:Summary (Reinstalled everything 6 times; Changed the host file; Changed Firewall Rules; Switched Firewall on and off; Changed game compatibility; Changed proxy in Uplay settings; A few more reinstalls; Unchecked 'Launch in offline.'
In uplay network settings; Reinstalled the game a few times; DELETED EVERYTHING related to it and reinstalled again; Tried cahnging the UseProxy config in the registry)Nothing Works. The autopatcher still can't connect to the update servers. And in the game folder, the 'version.txt' file is empty.If it helps:Windows 8.1 (32-bit)Antivirus None(for now)Could anybody, PLEASE, give me any help!!!.FIX.After the autopatcher finishes it's UNSUCCESSFUL patch, press on 'Proxy', and change only the Proxy Port to 80. NOTHING ELSE.It worked for me, launched the update, and then the game. Originally posted by:I'm posting here so that others may know: Do the actions posted in the first link, this oneand the other recommendations of the guide, if it still does not work, and you ONLY have the game on Uplay, UNLINK YOUR UPLAY ACCOUNT WITH STEAM!Yes, I heard this works for those that acquired the game directly from Uplay.
But stil, those that use steam encounter problems.I have recently discovered that if I delete everything related to Anno, as well as Steam and Uplay, then install them aiagin separately(meaning install uplay from ubisoft's website)(when installing Anno, Steam installs Uplay too, so I did it like that untill now.), and then the game, then Uplay has a MUCH lower chance of crashing and dying.Still, the situation remains like a programmer's code: It doesn't work and you don't know why, or it works but you still don't know why.
Hello.First I want to say that I love this game, but I don't have time to play very frequently. Last time I played was 6 months ago (uplay tells me). I just installed it on my laptop and I'd like to play now, but I've been working trying and reading in the past few hours and no chance. I keep bumping into various problems and this is getting me upset.Why can't you guys fix your problems and not make us fix them for you so that we can play and enjoy something we payed for and that should be delivered to us in one piece.Here is my problem. When I start the game I get a message that tells I have activated the addon, but the contents have to be downloaded and that in order to do this I have to close the game and the updater will start. Click restart to begin the process. My only option is Reboot, so I click it and nothing happens.If I click on DLC in the uplay menu it tells me that I can Buy it for 10EUR.
But I have already bought it once for 20 or 25 I don't remember it was some time ago and I can send you a copy of the transaction if I must. This is unacceptable service quality and you can't expect me to buy other games from you if I get this kind of treatment.In response to other threads that I've read. I have already tried with the autopatcher, I renamed it to autopatcher2 and it just did nothing, I tried with the offlinepatcher, but that won't work either. If anyone knows of another way to make it work please tell. My free time today has already been spent trying to fix this game for uplay, but I'm still hoping I can log in later today or if not at least I can fix it so I can play later in time. Navigate to your install location of Anno 2070 ( Mine was at: C:Program Files (x86)UbisoftUbisoft Game LaunchergamesANNO 2070)2. Locate the file titled 'AutoPatcher.exe' (depending on your Windows configuration, you may not see the.exe file extension.
In these cases the file will just be named 'Autopatcher').3. Right-Click this file and select 'Rename'.4. Change the name of this file to something like'AutoPatcherBackup.exe'5. Paste the Downoladed 2.0. AutoPatcher and rename it to 'AutoPatcher.exe' and then rightclick it and run it as Administrator ( this is where you may get an error message)5.
Reopen the UPlay PC Client and relauch Anno 2070. ( this is where you may be asked to re-enter your licence key for the game)6. When Anno 2070 launches, you will recieve a message: 'You have successfully activated the addon. Before the addon can be used, the updater must still download the necessary data.' Here you do as always and click the 'Reboot' button.7. Anno 2070 will reboot and correctly apply the needed updates.8.
Start Anno 2070 again and you should be able to play again. Into the breach review. Well i remember when i bought dlc had the same issue, that was some time ago and its still not fixed, with really shows how much UBISOFT cares about customers.Anyway while this solution works, I have other issue.
I'm having the same exact problem as MihaiulRau. I contacted Uplay support a week ago, but haven't heard anything back from them.I tried the updater 2.0 thingy, but I had to supply it with a cd-key I don't have anymore.
I recently moved, and I threw away the physical copy I had of Anno 2070, since I had already used the cd-key in Uplay, I thought I didn't need it anymore.I'm also having the same problem as Daskis. When I go to check my cd-keys in Uplay I can see the cd-key's for all my other games, except for Anno 2070. I get the same 'Uplay does not store key information for this content.'
As Daskis got.For all my other games Uplay games I can see the key. Even the ones that was a retail game, and I just used the cd-key in Uplay.I'm so tired of fighting with this game to get it to work, and SO demotivated. I have spent countless hours trouble shooting this game. I don't really like to complain about stuff, but this deserves it! I have been a PC Gamer for over 25 years now, and this is probably the first time I haven't been able to fix the problem.I was going to play this before the next release, as I haven't had the time to play Anno 2070 yet.
I was gonna buy the next Anno, I was gonna buy AC:Syndicate, Rainbow Six: Siege and The Division. But this was my last straw. This is where I draw the line in the sand. NO MORE UBISOFT GAMES. And that's kinda both mine and their loss. I love many of the ubisoft games, they just wrap the games in bad DRM that ruins it for honest customers. Hello guys,I had the same problem today.Short story - I've played Anno 2070 about a year ago, but when I heard about new Anno game I decided to refresh my memory.
I have run the game through Uplay launcher and then i got info about need of game restart to run DLC properly. OK - I've done it, but autopatcher command line disappeard fast and done nothing. After do this few times I decided to completelly uninstall and install game again through Uplay.
But this didn't help me.On Steam forum I have found this file:but launcher wanted a cd-key from me which I don't have anymore (WTF? Game is added to my library so why should I keep it?). After using it in many combinations (renaming files etc.) I tried to repair my files many times and finally it started with all bought DLCs unlocked.I don't know what happened and why this stupid problem appearings, but maybe my way of fixing will help you.
