I have no tried truly offline, but yes, it only started with the latest patch. The change was instantaneous. If I could rewind and undo the last patch, I absolutely would. IS there a way to ditch out and reverse the game to the previous patch? The game ran fine before it was patched. If I could just get rid of the current patch, I'd be fine. LOL

Game ran a little laggy but otherwise fine with no crashing, etc. I'll let you know if running offline helps anything, but I doubt it, because everything that rashes it is an in-game action, such as moving the screen, clicking on objects in the game, and there are very obvious graphics glitches happening during crash, from minecraftesque square blocks to solid red screens.

I love when game developers 'fix' things. Sigh.

Sadly no, there isn't a way to rollback to the previous patch (hate Origin). Unless you have a Time Machine back up from before the patch you're willing to go back to.
