Anno 2070

I had black screen until I added all the d3dx10 and 11 overrides proposed by winetricks

The fixes described in the latest entry no longer works. Additionally the offline updater crashes with this:
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x001c0000 in 32-bit code (0xf7ccbbb5).

I had this problem with Anno 2070 on my Wine 1.8 and previous versions, too.

Map grid, menu and everything was fine, but there were no textures for islands, ships, buildings etc - everything was black.

I did all the stuff everyone else talked about (installing directx11, vcrun2008, 10 etc.).

In the end, this is what made textures and shaders work:

I went to winetricks->select default wineprefix->change settings

There, I clicked:
- ddr=oppengl (Set DirectDrawRenderer to opengl)
- glsl=enabled (Enable glsl shaders (default))
- psm=enabled (Set PIxelShaderMode to enabled)

I'm not an expert, but since everyone was talking about "shaders", I just enabled whatever sounded like shaders in the settings.

And it worked - when I started Anno 2070 after that, all textures were working fine.

I still can't play the game, though, my laptop turns out to be just too weak, and I'll have to wait for new one, but this fix should work for other players, so here you have :).

Hey, I'm having the same update/version.txt is not valid issue, anyone know how to resolve this? The website given to download the new version isn't working anymore. Thanks!

I'm not sure if i did everything correct, but i was able to install the Game via UPlay and it'f fully updated.

My problem now is that when i try to start the game, the patcher opens and says: "version.txt invalid...".

I know the issue is mentioned in the description above but i'm not able to fix it (can't find the version.txt in Anno 2070 folder).

Does someone have any idea how to fix the error?

Thanks for help!

to get the version.txt, download it, currently from: autopatcher.related-designs.de/2070/version.txt save it into ./updates/ and make it NOT writable

I know this is old. But I just solved this and I thought I would improve on the answer given in the instructions. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and PlayOnLinux.

1) Go to autopatcher.related-designs.de/2070/version.txt
2) Copy the text into a new blank text file.
3) Save the file as "version.txt"
4) Open PlayOnLinux
5) Select Anno 2070 Steam
6) In the side bar, Select "Open the directory"
7) steamapps -> common -> Anno 2070 -> update
8) Copy your "version.txt" into the update folder
9) right click "version.txt", properties
10) In the permissions tab, set access to "Read only"
11) Launch game

Thanks for sharing these, but there is an alternative version of Anno 2070 for steam (in appdb) where your comment will probably get to the right people.
Also it would be even better if you'd create an entire test-result (it's really not much to do).

The following wine prefix works.

corefonts, directx9, tahoma, vcrun2010, steam, mono210, msxml3=native

This for the steam version.
Kubuntu 13.10 wine 1.7.8

Oops I copied the wrong file. Try this:

vcrun2008,d3dx9,steam,fontssmoothrgb,msxml3=native,

Sorry I have a lot of games and I must have clicked on the wrong file by mistake. I keep a file list of wine set ups for every game. It helps when trying to get similar games to run.

UGL starts but game crashes with

wine: Call from 0x7b83c732 to unimplemented function d3d11.dll.D3D11CreateDevice, aborting

Even when i'm changed verion to XP or w2k.

I'm set d3d11 to disabled and problem with dll is gone. But game still crashes.
pastebin.com/gfzdXThC

I had this same problem. I fixed it by editing the "Engine.ini" file. Make sure the line "9" is present in the file and that it's set to "9". Hope this helps.

Sorry there was a formating problem in my first message. Engine.ini should have a line for "DirectXVersion" and it should have a value of "9". It should look like this pastebin.com/7E5jSXnA. I got this information from the Anno 1404 page. appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9887

Thanks. It helps me. In addition need to change value for
line. By default it has value 0 and causes game to crash.

For me Anno 2070 launches without secure mode.
Recheck it. wine 1.5.19.

I check with every version - I don't need secure mode, I just need the overlay disabled.
With enabled overlay it still doesn't start.

I found out there was a bug in 1.05 which made my shader go crazy (everything was very dark - even with shaders disabled) this is fixed in 1.06.
Also I had to patch via the manual Patcher - this is only working if you put it into the Anno-Directory and run it with full path.
Last thing to mention:
I've experienced a few Lags while console output spammed:
fixme:uniscribe:GSUB_apply_ChainContextSubst TODO: subtype 2 (Class-based Chaining Context Glyph Substitution)

This doesn't make the game unplayable, it's just a little disturbing from time to time.

I installed a winhttp but when game launched autopatcher cant connect to the update server.

Restart the launcher multiple times - I had this error everytime but it patched anyways.

For me it fixes by overriding winhttp to "builtin, native".

After Game Launcher update the game doesnt launch.
After pressing "Start game" button nothing happens. After 1 minute appears game results windows that shows that the game played 1 minute. It means that game crashed.

So Ubisoft thinks "oh wine finally got our games running, we gotta change something" -.-.
I can confirm your report.
I got the following lines in console shortly after I clicked "play" maybe one of those fixme's is the cause:

fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsW (0x18d258,0x7264e5d8,0xf5c0004),stub!

Can you create a bug in the bugtracker?

Well with 1.5.6 ( winetricks used for d3dx9, d3dx11_42, vcrun2010, corefonts, glsl=disbaled ) and the mentioned change for mvscr i can start the game with WINEDEBUG=-all.

I even get sound for the intros and the cursor appears but the screen stays black. Someone an idea?

Nvidia GTS 450 GLH with 302.17 driver version

It's enough to do WINETRICKS=-msvcrt to disable the huge amount of errors - maybe you'll see some relevant errors then.
Btw thanks for the entire winetricks, I'll try that one.

Super awesome :D it works thanks!

So you got it workin' without black screen? Would be interested in your settings then :P cause I just hear music and see the black screen of awesomness

Im using a unpatched wine 1.5.7 , I get the problem that you have aswell if I set msvcr100.dll to native,builtin...
you have to set it to builtin,native

Try that it might do the trick

Well I bet it's because of they fixed bug #28119 with 1.5.7 which affects UPlay-Games like Anno2070, will try it with 1.5.7 soon and post a new test-data if it works.

Okay it worked like evrytime ... installing the original directx pack solved the problem with black screen, but can't get past the login due to a "account conflict" ^^

Do you own the game :) ?
If you still havent got it working, check out my script I wrote for playonlinux:
www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-9053-Script_Anno_2070.html

At the moment, no ^^ but anyway it works in windows but think the crack won't work in linux, even without internet connection. Will install from the beginning soon, it's just an account-problem.

What do you mean by "original directx pack"? From winetricks or .exe downloaded from Internet? I've tried both and I'm still stuck at black screen :|

Maybe the directx from the installation?
Just in case you see the "shaders are loading" and not only a black screen - I've had that until 5 minutes ago.
Fix: install vcrun2010 but still switch to "buildin, native" in winecfg.

It helped, when I turn virtual dekstop on. Now I try to connect to Internet to log myself in :|

I've tried this with current git (since the patch for the mentioned bug is already in git, so it's not needed to patch anymore when this will be released) - currently I haven't tried 1.5.5 but I've tried 1.5.6 with the patch you mentioned (it applied without an error). Reinstalled Anno in a clean prefix (since it didn't start in my old one) and I wasn't able to start it after all.
I've patched it in a vmware with windows running in it since the patcher didn't worked neither.

Anyways it still looks like the patch failed (see my log) since ReadFileEx is still failing, but I'm 100% sure the patch submitted is applied (I checked the source!).

So after all, here's the relevant part of my log:

System: gentoo; 64 bit; nvidia

somehow I fixed the old error, no idea how, but now it keeps telling me "initializing direct x failed" (and I've installed d3dx9 AND directx9, neither did help.

fixed this one with reinstalling Anno.
Now I got the next problem, it tells me "initializing shaders" and then crashes.
No error, just a list of excluded modules.
Any ideas?

Okay, I have now managed to compile wine + patch, I now get a new error :

Hello, I have managed to get autopatcher etc to work, but when I want to launch the game the window just crashes, I guess due to uplay.

I have tried to build wine with the patch you said, but then the launcher won't start at all - I just get a messagefield with blank labels and test and press ok. Then wine closes itself.

Could you perhaps provide a deb file with the appropriate wine version?
Using ubuntu 12.04 .
Thank you very much

When I'm trying to launch game, autoupdater appears. But it it can't install any updates because it can't connect to the internet. It can't connect even throught proxy. Offline updater also can't install updates because no connection.

Install winhttp thanks to winetricks and re-launch the autopatcher.

I made it work now.
Perhaps it works cause I used update 1.01 and a cr***.
But on my PC it crashes, cause i've a) an AMD card and b) the open source drive :P XD
But i get the screen displaying "shader loading"

Got the following messages:
