As the title says, does this game now require an online connection to play by myself?
We are on PS5
From what I understand to use somethings you may have purchased you need a internet connection. @stiiixy .Plenty of more knowledgeable people here to help you.

Iâve owned this since beta in what, 2016? (on PC) when they had the shriot and everything.,
Never had a problem playing offline (game ran faster as well)
Seems in the three years since Iâve played, the game has gone seriously downhill from what Iâm reading, and because of this full-time connection requirement, backwards! I now canât even play for fun!

Day one Ps4 player this game has definitely been all over the place. Between my wife and I over 20,000 hours we like punishment. Primarily online playerâs
No. Steam can be switched to offline mode; when loading the game, it will report that it cannot connect to the servers, and will offer you the option of offline play.

Does the dlc and, other paid items are working on offline mode? Last time i checked it was not working. Never tried again.
All DLCs work, but I donât know about the items, because⊠I didnât buy anything except the DLC.

DLC works offline, Bazaar items do not

Exactly. Old-fashioned DLC ownership data is stored in the Steam cache or whatever, locally on your machine, so even if youâre offline, access to that data is available.
Battle Pass and Bazaar item ownership is determined by your Funcom Live Services account, and if the game canât access FLS, it wonât let you use those items.
The Steam store does list âinternet connectionâ as part of the gameâs system requirements, and has done so for a few years now, but technically you can still play Single-Player offline on Steam, even though you canât access all optional content.
I should probably go look at the Steam store for these details, but can you list exactly what is âmissingâ in single-player mode? Understanable things arent functioning if it pertains to the MP environment, but for the sake of dragging my posterior online for no valid reason, THAT annoys me (and I personally refuse to play solo offline games that need a connectionâŠExiles not really being one of them, but I digress!), as itâs unwarranted and unnecessary.
As long as youâre online and connected to FLS, nothing is missing from Single-Player. Except, of course, the fact that the game world is running only around the player, so e.g. meteor showers donât trigger unless the player is in the vicinity.
If youâre not connected to the FLS, you wonât have access to the Battle Pass, the Black Lotus Bazaar, or the challenge system. Items and recipes etc. gained via those systems are unaccessible. Everything else should still work just fine.
Yes and no. To access anything bought from the store/bazaar requires an internet connection unless single player servers are cloud servers.
I just wanted to swing my virt-â â â â , and smack heads, and occassionally build an empire.
Why do a I need a storeâŠ
Iâm assuming the store is for inter-server âthingiesâ?
I ask, because I still havent unblocked Exiles from my firewall (hence, fora disputationem) Iâm not being intentionally dense, but jees, FLS and stores with no explnanationâŠ
Conan SMASH!
The store has some new emotes, new building styles, new clothes and armor, and some neat decorative placeables, from fruit trees to a toilet seat. none of which is necessary, but if you live by the credo Survive. Build. Decorate. you may occasionally want some of that stuff.
Are you referring to an ingame store then? a la MMOâs and other FPS?
Also, as I mentioned above, canât play in offline mode. FireWall blocking Exiles, and it failâs to play âsoloâ. Not sure what I was paying for in 2016, 17, 18 until I was burned out by bushfires in 20, but an online only experience wasnât it.
My game still throws me out. Can not connect to FLS. I can only press the OK, and thatâs itâŠ
I need to be online to play offlineâŠ
Curious what all the fuss is about needing an internet connection to play offline?
You need to have internet connection in order to use any of the Bazaar or battlepass items.
Shame Funcom doesnât alter the way redeemed and purchased Battlepass and Bazaar items work so they can be used without an internet connection. I used to take my old Xbox One to my grandmothers house and play Conan there without any internet at all. Ever since the Bazaar and BP released, I bring over Skyrim instead.
