You CAN Play Without Internet!

[Shizofrend98HR]

There seems to be lots of people who think singleplayer is unplayable without internet but it is in fact 100% playable without any internet connection.
On Multiple ocassions when my internet provider sucked at their job like they often do I was without internet acsess for hours or days and enjoyed singleplayer without problem.
I am not 100% sure what you have to do to make this work but I think you have to make one manual save in singleplayer and not use account on other computer or tweak stuff like overclocking with msi afterburner and rivatuner (i always have both running but I don't think I overclocked ♥♥♥♥. except cpu in bios) or something of sorts cuz it removes some offline mode ticket thingy or something.
Sorry for not spending time to google this I just wanted to spread the fact that you indeed Can play game without internet.
Ofc u prolly have to have it first time u log in and make that manual save or what not. I never overclocked or used it on another pc or done some jimbo jambo magic to make it possible for offline play it just started rockstar launcher in offline mode when I clicked play on steam during time without internet connection and it worked fine.

Hey guys, I know this whole thread is about requiring an internet connection to play rdr2 story mode, but story mode generally doesn't require an internet connection to play. I'm not sure if you guys knew that yet. Maybe you guys SHOULD realise that.

And if it doesn't work, it means you haven't disconnected it hard enough.

I’m a truck driver using my steam deck on my down time with no internet at all. Sometimes I can use my hotspot but other times my phone has no service at all so I don’t even try. In those times, with zero internet at all, I can’t get into RDR2. It says it failed to verify that I own the game. Any ideas? As soon as I get the verification I typically turn the internet off to save my hotspot so when I save the game it isn’t to the cloud.

Ik it's been a few years since this question, but if you still own it, I think there was something in settings general about cloud, or multiplayer, I don't remember.

I don't get the point of this verification of ownership because if I had the pirated version then it would be cracked and doesn't even have this check. This is so stupid and it only makes the gaming experience worse for legit game owners who have bought the game.

If you look at the auto-login option on the rockstar launcher it tells you that you can play offline if you check it, but reading is often times a challenge.

I prolly checked that then. Dont know if i read it, prolly did but forgot that it said that. I forget what I had for launch yesterdays. Seem tho for some people it's broken tho. Shame devs cant care much apart from money and microtransactions to fix their game.

Doesnt work, You cant play offline without internet. Doesnt matter if you manual save or not. It shows rockstar activation error and poof,

this is why I play the single player in pirated version and only goes to official when playing online. The crack version also loads a lot faster. Glad I cracked RDR 1 instead of buying it cause I learned my lesson from RDR 2, Rockstar is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and doesnt deserve my money. They treats their consumers like ♥♥♥♥
