Why can't be played Offline?

[Just Chilling]

Trying to play this offline, after the loading screen I get an endless "Waiting for Steam Initialization" dialog box that never goes away and only lets me to quit the game.

[P1p]

That happens online too don't worry.

@F8| Pipboy You can't get into the game when you are online? Do you always get the error?

A fix for offline will come, we've been working on it.

Someone pissed in Pipboy's cereal and he's being passive aggressive, it seems. Sarcasm ftl huh Pip?

Wait, no Steam love hearts or jerated censor? Oh mai. Anyway, I'm glad you're working on an offline fix. No offline play privileges is taking Steam DRM too far imo.

I fixed his issue in another thread.

[LiketheShore&theSea]

I'm glad to hear that. Sorry if I misjudged the situation; it's just I've had run-ins with his posts in other threads with a similar tone. Moving on now... :)

Still no fix for Offline play.

It's being fixed as we speak, but I have no time frame for the release of the patch.

Hi!

Could we plz have an update on the "offline" Mode?! You keep promissing that it will be fixed, but I start to doubt...

Best regards

Should be out during the summer sometime. Could be a couple of weeks, might be a month, not 100% sure on the exact time frame.

[willisterman]

Yeah, same problem for me. Just moved house and I was planning on completing this game while I waited for the internet connection to be installed. Wasn't best impressed when I found I couldn't load it.

[Duomtl]

There is a little trick, if you can tether your phone for 2 seconds to let the game load online, then just pull the plug, it will continue in offline.

[willisterman]

Having to tether for most of my games now, couldn't surivive without internet in the end, just I'd made sure I had a load of games installed and ready, and was quite looking forward to that one! Will try it though, see if it works :)

[Duomtl]

You're online and you're getting an initialize error? Did you alt-tab out of the load screen before the intro video?
