Can i play this game offline?

[Les Yeux De Ni ni]

Without connecting to the Internet.

i am asking this cos i will have a vacation and i will take my laptop to there. However, there will be no home Internet.

If i can, how?

Another example of why digital only sucks.

Technically it should be possible to play in offline mode, but it's also possible that steam will want to check if it's really you and will want you to login during your vacation.

I would just download the cracked version before your vacation. It's not stealing since you bought the game and it makes playing offline way easier.

I mean can you not? I've just tried unplugging the internet and still had access to contents aside from contents that requires internet connection(Online rank/battlehub)

Yes, that works because you were connected already. Now turn off your computer, restart and don't plug the cable back in. Does it still work?

YEP. unplugged the connection, restarted PC and indicator clearly stated that I had no connection. I remember people had issues with WT requiring connection at initial launch. Maybe they removed it?

I still had access to the library offline even if I was disconnected from the internet. I just clicked steam icon booted the app. Logged me in without the password. Specifically noted I was offline with error accessing usual feature page and I had no access to profile pics either. I just clicked library from there and I just was able to boot the game.
I guess I could try again just in case.

Yep still worked for me somehow? I guess that's not suppose to happen maybe?
Here's the clip
I'll delete the link later after you have a look at it.

I watched it. You can remove.

Btw, you are able to resume cos you were already logged in before. Idk how you did it though.

You can play offline - you just lose access to Battle Hub and other specifically online content. World Tour, arcade, practice, etc - they all work. I was stuck with my laptop at a place w/o internet last Wednesday. Played 6 through most of it.

[MR_Mc_NUGGIES]

As far as I can see you can’t start the game without an internet connection, whenever I try booting up the game in offline with no internet it prompts me to go in online mode

[CHAO$$$]

if it works at all then only in steam offline mode and only after you previously started the game in online mode due to DRM calling home.

(if it works at all) and you continue to play offline you will eventually be unable to play due to the DRM requiring verification with its online component. How often the DRM does that depends entirely on the publisher. In Monster Hunter you could get lucky and get to play offline for 1 or 2 weeks.

Fun fact, if they decide to discontinue the DRM service for any reason without removing the DRM ingame you never get to play again (games for windows live says hi).

DRM is great for consumers btw

You can buy a few new games and a lot of older ones on GOG and download their offline installers if you want actual offline gameplay. Most of those games dont have multiplayer tho.
