Re: Origin won't let me view or repair games offline.

@Razrroth  What you've described is normal behavior for Origin.  It won't load your game library without an internet connection, but even if it did, that wouldn't help here.  In order to repair a game, Origin needs to have a connection so it can check the game files against what's stored on EA servers, and replace missing or corrupted elements as necessary.

So you'll need to find a way to have at least a temporary connection.  You could try using your phone as a mobile hotspot and hope the repair doesn't eat too much of your data.

    @puzzlezaddict ah, if my pc had Bluetooth/wifi I would have done so ages ago. Our router recently died in a power surge and fried our cords, so I have to wait til we get another wired connection going. ☹️
    But, dang, okay. I figured as much (about origins behavior offline). Origin is very frustrating that way. Thanks anyway for the help!
