‘Anno 2070’ Servers Down? Players Unable To Play Game For Two Days

Looks like there’s some serious problem with the “Anno 2070” servers. Players are apparently complaining that they have been unable to play the city-building and economic simulation game for two days now.

On Thursday, DSOGaming learned from “Anno 2070” players that the servers for Ubisoft’s game may be down. The news outlet reports that when players try to launch the game, they are instead greeted by an Unknown Error.

The publisher is well aware of the issue. It has even issued a statement via Ubisoft forums on Wednesday, saying that an investigation on the problem was being conducted. “We’re currently investigating the issue where you get an Unknown Error when trying to connect to ‘Anno 2070.’ … We unfortunately do not have an ETA for a fix yet,” the company’s community representative wrote.

The representative has already issued a follow-up statement, and it says: ”We’ve narrowed down the issue and are working on the solution.” As of writing, the game is still not working, to the disappointment of fans.

While Ubisoft has not shed light on the possible reasons behind this Unknown Error, some players are surmising that this may be due to “Anno 2070’s” DRM (digital rights management). Players are assuming that the copyright protection system of the game is the one responsible for the error.

DSOGaming pointed out that the pirated version of “Anno 2070” does not have a problem. But this is only because such version of the game is offline. So while the online issue continues to persist, most players have no other option than to wait for Ubisoft to nip the problem in the bud.

For the uninitiated, “Anno 2070” is a simulation game with real-time strategy elements. In this game, players can build their society, colonize islands and create sprawling megacities. They can also engineer production chains like Diamond Mines, Oil Refineries and Robot Factories.
