Can I play Offline?

[Atag]

With all the talk surrounding copyright protection, I just wanted to know if the game is infact playable offline? I usually have internet access but this seems to be one of them games where I'd like to play when I may not be near an internet access point. If the game is not playable offline then I'll really have to reconsider buying. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps:)

You can, but the game will want to activate online roughly every 2-4 weeks (it depends on how often you update other parts of your hardware/OS.)

Every 1-2 weeks actually, so if Denuvo decides to revalidate your license and you have no internet connection, you will not be able to play the game even it's single player.

oh... Well.... I thought i'd get some varying answers for this. Such a shame as I just want to know that I can play freely whenever I want.

Yep, you also need internet connection every time you change a piece of hardware or try to run it on different computer.

By default it's 30 days, but yes it does sometimes get triggered early which you have to watch out for.

Feels bad guys

Yep. If you have spotty or otherwise limited internet I can't in good conscience recommend you buy any game with Denuvo.

It's just how the thing works.

Heck, I recommend avoiding Steamworks DRM games in that case too as offline mode isn't always reliable either.

you can play freely whenever you want, up to 1-2 weeks. which is also the normal rate for steam, since steam offline mode still requires you to go online atleast once a week. mostly it asks you to login again.

this isnt because of denuvo, steam offline also requires you to go online once a week. or once a month, not sure which one it was, but even steam offline has limitations to its offline parts, so if the game requires you to login once in a while, its nothing new.

I've had Steam offline mode work for months then arbitrarily decide it wants to reconnect. It's just incredibly unpredictable and I suspect the timeout is set per game.

also, we are living in 2018. when i turn on my computer, it logs onto the internet inmediatly. a laptop? theres always a mcdonalds nearby with free wifi i guess :P

I see what you're saying, and I am aware that steam requires you to log in every so often, I guess I never go without internet connection for more than a week, so I should be fine? I probably have tons of games that require regular online login, but am just unaware.

Steam offline mode can be random when it wants to go nline, been on detachment several times to an island with no internet for 4 months at a time, never once had to go online to reactivate steam.

Yip this is true, this is why i no longer buy any denuvo game, i want to play them at anytime, and i want them to last many years, dont want to gamble incase denuvo servers shut down in future and id lose my game forever unless devs patch it out, and theres many devs out there that wouldnt care to do that

Dont know why devs dont patch it out once its cracked, there only hurting the people that bought it and the people that want to buy it
