OK pardon me for pointing this out but what kind of Mickey Mouse mentality is the forcing player that wishes to play offline to be online? There are several reasons why someone chose to play offline, among many: low to non connectivity in the area, to unplug, etc… Why is Funcom all of the sudden forcing us to be online at all times even when we want to play offline? This could be done earlier before this new patch, forcing us to connect to something not everyone cares about to be connected. all of the sudden Steam has to be online in order for us single players that prefer the offline mode. The cause of it is because Funcom needs to connect to some new Mickey mouse bs for friends to find you. FFs it’s called single player and offline mode because you want to play solo, with no friends online buggering you while you play. Please fix this.

It would be great to have singleplayer in offline. I could avoid mod breaks and so on.

not so much for the mods, which is yet an other reason, but I’m not that into playing it online as an MMO, maybe some time co-op but I rather play it solo just like I used to do before this latest patch, and the fact that I can’t play it anymore once I move me laptop to me bedroom cuz I have no connection at all there.

I believe it’s called DRM, Digital Rights Management. Quite common in modern games. It does say right there in the System requirements that you need a Broadband Internet connection, if you don’t have one you can’t play. Not being able to connect to FunCom live services is a whole different issue and they need to get it resolved.

I agree, and no statement from anyone from Funcom on this. Odd.

Conan Exiles always required an internet connection on PC, unless you used a mod to change this.

This is already verified by Steam so why complicate things even more? Besides verifying every time you start yer game is equally annoying as having to watch that damn intro video every time you start the game. a solution to work around them annoyances would be way way more beneficial for the community. Game verification should only be needed once every patch not every freaking time you wanna play the game. And No UltraViolet you didn’t need a mod to play off line before this patch, all you needed to do was to go offline with steam and play single player/co-op. and the game was playable.

[image] Newest update doesnt allow for offline play PC Discussion Hey there, Offline play is not and has not been supported for PC, and was only possible by a mod created by a third party. Just to clarify, we did not purposely disable this mod, delete it from the workshop or target its functionality. That being said, our team is looking into possible issues that may be actively blocking offline play.

Hate DRM like this, it de-incentivizes from playing ‘‘legitimate’’ way. Too intrusive for single player experience. As if you don’t fully control your own data.

I was also surprised by this. But now I have learned what it means when Funcom lists internet connection in the fine print below the minimum hardware requirements. I too wish that they had not tried to hide it, but I chalk it up as a “learning experience.”

No hocus-pocus needed.

That never worked for me.
