No possibility to play offline

I don't know if this is just the beta version (cause of telemetry and stuff) but I want to make sure to give this feedback

There NEEDS to be an option to go offline. That is currently not the case. Many games have offline modes and many people have bad Internet. Please Please Please, I beg you, have an offline mode in the full version.

  • The option to go offline is only available for those that CAN go online. The app itself has no options available for those with no Internet connection to start. We only get a screen saying to recheck Internet connection.

    @holger1405 This is pointless since the only reason anyone would want to play offline is if they have no connection and to even see this screen you need to log in. Let this sink in: "You need to LOG IN to play OFFLINE".
    A monkey designed this!
  • I agree. This is beyond stupid. I used to be able to play my games logged in or not. Now I can only play when logged in AND if the game will launch. They should give us back Origin and fire whomever is responsible for this debacle.

    @06cf9e88eaf7ee92I just tried a couple of the suggestions listed above with predictable results. The game I have installed several months ago and wanted to play today is Command and Conquer: Generals. I have only been able to play any of my EA games ONE time since forced to use the EA app. It, along with all of my other games, fail to launch so I thought maybe it would launch offline. Nope, it doesn't even show in my library unless logged into Origin. The only game in my offline library wouldn't launch either.

    @06cf9e88eaf7ee92 More than generals works for me. I can't even launch the game on a user account. Never had a problem on origin. Now I see why EA is considered such an evil company. They make it so I can't play a game I payed for.

    I was hoping EA learned from the origin program but NOPE. You still need to login into go offline. So if like me right now lost internet and my PC restarted I have NO way to play a single game like Sims 4??? What sort of logic is this where I need internet for a SINGLE PLAYER GAME.

  • I am having the same issue as I can't play Mass Effect without the app. Origin didn't have this issue.
