So RDR2 is always online?

[FreddieForever#1]

I tried to play it offline but couldnt, it wanted me to go online and restart the game. Is it always online? if so that sucks.

Even on steam? i have the game on the rockstar app, not steam.

if your internet goes out before you can do the restart trick, you cant play. I moved not too long ago and was locked out and internet set up was a week away. I used my cell phone to
hotspot and do the steam offline trick i described, then i was able to play both GTA and RDR2 all week without any issues. But it only works with Steam, not Epic, or R* etc.

damn.. i should have bought the game on steam. So when you play rdr2 on steam it doesnt go through rockstars app?

No it still does, but there is some kind of timer. It makes you check online every so often, but steam having an integrated offline mode tricks the game into stopping that check.

That's why you have to launch the game right before restarting steam, or the launcher wants to check for activation permission again.

It does, your account information on Rockstars side is on their app.

Nope. If you do that it will tell you to log onto the internet. You have to follow the specific steps to make it work offline.

If you had recently launched the game before going into offline mode your fine. Once in offline mode you can play forever until you log back onto the internet, then the game will require log in again.

Games with single player modes that require an internet connection are cancer. Period! With the money you spent you could have got a keg of beer that requires no internet connection is far more entertaining.

You launch Rockstar Launcher, login and set to Auto and Remember Me.
Once its logged in, change options...
> Disable Start with Windows
> Enable Minimize on Close
> Enable Pause Focus while Game is running

Now exit the launcher.

Launch or Restart Steam in Off-line Mode.
Now launch RDR2 and enjoy.

To ensure RDR2 properly launches in Off-line Mode, disable your LAN/WIFI device before launching Steam. Or simply inject this line into the Steam >
RDR2 Launch Options: -skipPatcherCheck -useSteam -steamAppId=1174180 -scOfflineOnly

After approx 3 days of playing it this way, it wont let you play offline anymore until you login again to the R* Launcher.

However a simple work-around for this is to keep setting your PC Clock to the Date you last made save game in RDR2 Story in Offline Mode. You can view the file time-stamp of your save here > C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\ProfileID#

Save # 15 is always the Auto-Save, if you don't want to load into that save, delete it before launching the game.

Then you can still do everything I said, leaving out everything about steam.

For those using the R* Launcher, once it's been logged into and your login saved, disable network adapter, then launch rdr2 from the game EXE directly. This should trigger the R* launcher to launch in off-line mode due to no Internet connection.

it's not a mystery man, you cant play your games cause you bought them on a launcher required to use via internet.. thats .. the issue.
