"The EA app now has an offline mode.
Click on the menu symbol (Three strokes top left) > Go offline."
source: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Feedback/No-possibility-to-play-offline/td-p/9503597
TESTING:
- opened the EA app, clicked offline mode, started Jedi Survivor, worked fine.
- exited EA app, re-opened, still in offline mode, Jedi Survivor still playable
- let the EA app go online again, exited the program, pulled out the LAN cable, started EA App and it is in offline mode by itself, Jedi Survivor still can be started.
only thing i did not test was to also have Steam in Offline mode launch EA App in offline mode launch Jedi Survivor.
Also be aware that your cloud save will desync and you will get asked to sync it later, read the text twice before clicking which one you want to keep.
With both Steam and the old EA Origin you need to activate Offline mode one time so your login credentials are verified and that some token is stored locally, i would expect this new EA App to act the same way.
I think the issue with this is, to get to offline mode, you have to be logged in. so if your internet is down, you can't log in to then go into offline mode. there's no way to START the EA app in offline mode, correct?
No, but that is the joke, it does work, but only when you used Offline Mode at least one time while online.
First time it stores some log in credentials on your local machine. ...after that it works whenever you actually need it.
If you never clicked on it, and suddenly need it because your ISP messed up, you won't have those credentials stored locally and Steam / EA App / EPIC / Xbox don't know who you are.
You activated offline mode before, it remembers that and works next time.
The UI probably should say UNLOCK Offline Mode so people comprehend its a one time thing... or have it be a setting in the options menu.
It is the same with all these Storefronts, including Steam, so you can't even blame EA specifically here.
If they are all doing it that way, it must have a security reason of some sort that i'm not aware of.
And then of course Denuvo may have its own Offline Token that expires after 2 weeks of not launching the game, i know that was a thing with Mad Max, that one asked me to log in first i googled why it did that and everyone says there is a 2 week offline token with Denuvo games, then i mention it somewhere else and people there said its actually optional and depends on what the developer set in the game... so YMMV.
Denuvo still bad, it's a remote killswitch and you don't own what you paid for, lets hope it will eventually get removed like it was with Jedi Fallen Order.
