Urgent "offline mode" in EA app.

[lupeandy7]

You have to sue EA that I inserted an "offline mode" so you can play the games offline on EA app, just like Origin, how come you can't play single player games you bought if you're not connected to the network, this doesn't It is free to play, we pay for a game that is individual and therefore should not require an internet connection.

Start EA app in online mode-launch game- (if the game doesn't require a connection) - put Ea app in offline mode. Just because EA & other publishers want you to sign into their app to verify usage rights of the software doesn't mean they are the ones requiring the constant connections. The game makers are the ones who "bake" that in from the start. Read the games product page more closely before you buy. If you don't like a feature listed there (secondary login, always online, etc), then avoid said game & spend your cash elsewhere. Consumer knowledge about the products we buy is our greatest weapon to let the game makers know what we want & will put up with. Use the brain in your head a little & you'll have less headaches when buying/playing games (or any product really).

Normally, you only need to be 'online' for the initial launch of a game. Once you've started it, played a little, save and exit the game, you should be able to run it in 'offline' mode afterwards. The initial launch is usually verifying it's a legitimate purchased copy of the game and not pirated software. Once it's confirmed, shouldn't need it to go online anymore. The exception is MMO's ofc... or games that actually run on a network server. Just put the client(s) into 'offline' mode, then start the game(s) if you have already run them once. There maybe some features that aren't available though... with some games. For instance, Dragon Age used to have the Dragon Age Keep which would upload your game achievements and unlocked items to your profile on their server. You could set the game to automatically log into it whenever you launched the game. That feature wouldn't be available if playing in 'offline' mode though.

Everytime I start my PC the EA app window pops-up and wants me to sign up or log in. I do neither, I just close the window and move on.

There app shows up when I launch the game but it's a blank page and thats the last I see of it. At that point everything goes thru Steam.

I have EA games on Steam not EAS app. This is stupid. Why do I have to play those games on EA app that they force me to use it’s my games from Steam I purchased it’s not theirs so why they doing this they should be sue for this.


Like I can’t play games on off-line if I have Internet to connect it and play off-line, which is dumb

I stopped playing this game after 15 hours. Why do I need the internet to play an offline game
