It’s 2024 and still need to login first to be in offline mode is frustrating.
I lost internet and my PC restarted. So I have no way of playing a SINGLE PLAYER GAME like Sims 4!
if EA is so worried about pirated why is there not a method to save the info that I own the game THAT I PAYED FOR!!!
So when my PC isn’t first logged in to go offline because in the EA’s logic you can predict when you will be offline(????) make it we can force it go offline so I can play MY game until internet is back.
Pretty safe to say this is just the way EA wants it
to be - as inconvenient as possible to push you to the edge of finding alternative means. That’s why support will come here and pretend going online to change to offline mode is a reasonable way to do it.
There’s fortunately a workaround.
Just cut all internet input entirely so this app from hell won’t understand it’s an option. That means disconnecting ethernet cable from the pc, removing wifi adapters or shutting wifi down from settings. Otherwise the app will see there’s internet signal and force you to connect to it even though there’s no actual internet coming in.
As soon as you cut the signal and try to open the game or launch the app, it will let you play if the game itself isn’t an online game.
Just commenting to add into the frustration.
Been replaying Dragon Age Inquisition for the past week and I'm having internet trouble since yesterday. I'm not able to play simply because I can't even launch the launcher. *!
