Community ManagerHow does one put EA in offline mode?
Community ManagerI'm having a similar issue, but that won't really solve it. I can't access the app if my internet is down. So I can't put it in offline mod, because I can't sign in/get it load at all if I'm not connected to the internet. At the same time, my internet isn't always down and I prefer to play online for access to the gallery. So, is there a way to access the game if I'm not connected to the internet but I didn't turn on offline mod the last time I played.
I know I used to be able to open and play the game even if I couldn't get connected to the internet when I was still using Origin. But ever since I moved to the EA app, I can't access the game even though it's downloaded on my computer, if the internet is down. It's really frustrating. The main reason I play Sims is because it's a fun game that DOESN'T require the internet. If I have to be connected just to load, then it's not really any different than any other game anymore.
Having the same issues as the above two (replies #5 and #6). I had to take a trip by bus...it gave me the "EA is offline" error rubbish. What an absolutely despicable move. I had logged in with "keep me logged in" at home before leaving and everything. This is a huge disappointment. What is the purpose in keeping people who purchase the game from being able to play if they don't have internet actively? What a disaster...I have been playing The Sims since Maxis. I am beyond disappointed.
So you’re telling us that you have to go online to switch to offline mode?
That’s completely useless to those of us who are even asking if it’s possible to go offline mode, when majority, if not all, of those asking this question does so at a time when our internet is down.
You can’t even access settings for the EA app without the internet, the only options you have is to close, minimise, or restart the app which does absolutely nothing because as stated, we don’t have internet access at the time.
I’m having a similar issue except I went offline and when I tired to load my game it said the license was expired and to go online to renew the license, but how can I do that if my Wi-Fi is down ? Im experiencing outages and they don’t know when my Wi-Fi will be back up
I also have this problem, what we want is to be able to enter our game without logging into the EA App, because I already had a problem and I was without internet for a week, so I was unable to play for a week.
Which is absurd, because if I bought all the games, I have the right to play even without logging into the app.
Don't install maybe?🤷♂️
