Workarounds

I've used the Anno 2070 Complete Edition (Anno 2070, Deap Sea Addon, all DLCs) and PlayOnLinux.

1. Create a 32bit Wine prefix, based on Wine 2.15
2. Install the game
3. If DirectX wasn't able to install (that's the case for me), download the latest DirectX version from the Web and install it (I've used Jun2010_redist)
4. Install via PlayOnLinux or Winetricks: crypt32
5. Set GLSL-support via PlayOnLinux or Winetricks to enabled, otherwise you will end up with a black screen + pointer
6. I had to install a crack, as Uplay was not able to install any updates or connect to the server in order to log into the game. I tried a lot of hours, but wasn't able to get it to work.
7. Start the game

I had to fiddle some time with PlayOnLinux debug outputs (that throw a lot of errors for crypt32.dll for other Wine versions) --> the right combination of Wine version + installed crypt32.dll did the trick. If you change the Wine version in PlayOnLinux, make sure that you reinstall crypt32 everytime, as it will be exchanged to the wine version.
