You do need a active internet connection to install and verify but after that you should be able to login offline. It automatically puts you in offline mode if Origin doesn't detect a connection.
What error message are you getting ? Does it want you to activate the game ? Did you ever activate it at all ?
- I'm having the same issue. I cannot access ts3 offline. I do usually sign in with origin when I have internet access. But when I do not, I still would like to be able to play. I keep getting the error message "you must be online when logging in for the first time". As I have logged in numerous times, this is clearly NOT the first time. Any suggestions would be gladly appreciated.
Does the game show up in myGames or do you not get that far ?
Since this is an Origin issue, I'm not really great at helping with it so you might wanna post in the Origin forum on here instead.
I cannot even get that far. Without interent connection its says failed to login and that is as far as it goes. Nothing else pops up.
