why online only ?

for such a small game with no online content why does the game require a constant connection to be able to play it ? ( you can launch it but all the corporations, crew types, meta types and the ability to load a save are gone)

This is epic we are talking about, they have less trust than steam in general when it comes to PC piracy, hence the lack of an offline mode.

Is it another Epic scum after Metro Exodus? Ok then no buy for them

I complained on their Facebook page about this, apparently it’s only supposed to check when u launch and shouldn’t be an issue after that.

Its possible to get disconnected too, which kicks you to the menu and forces you to restart the game usually with lost progress, someone posted they lost 4 hours of gameplay when it happened.

Once again a single player title is spoiled by this online bollocks, as an anti piracy method it clearly doesn’t work if other threads here are anything to go by

How are you playing it? It is not out on Steam yet. So, if you got it in any other way, you should try to get support from that place.

Try to ask it on Epic forum

I did not know this. Man we lucked out that this moved to epic. The combat looks repetetive, too many people are chiming in about finishing the game twice since it launched, and it looks like it needs more content.

I hope they fix these issues by 2020. I liked the ship building aspects and the cloning stuff that looked neat, but it looks like the combat needs a lot of work from what i have seen.

It isn't online only. The game can be played by going into offline mode on Epic Client or you can just load up the game by going to the games executable and play from that without the Epic client even running.

The game never required to be online, the OP was just confused by the lack of offline mode on Epic at the time, but even then he could have played it without Epic client running and without internet.

if you launch the game without the epic client open the game will lock all content (lock all means that you cannot continue your save, you cannot start a new game or anything else...)

So I play it on the PS4, and I think it is also working offline, although, I cannot say to 100%, when the PS is online and when not...
