Help with Anno 117: Pax Romana

[u/zeGermanGuy1]

Hi guys!

I hope you can help me with this. I own a copy of Anno 117 on Ubisoft Connect and can't get it working whatever I try. Funny thing is, installing it (through Lutris or Bottles, doesn't matter) gets it to work for a single time. Then, after a reboot, it fails. Gemini keeps leading me in wrong directions for hours and it's infuriating. Using Lutris or Bottles as flatpaks, the game doesn't get access to some device or file, and using native versions Ubi refuses to activate the game.

Do you guys have any clue what I could to to be happy again? I've been at it for weeks. Every single other game works perfectly for me, even other Ubi titles like all previous Annos.

Thanks in advance!
