offline mode is a joke

[aeon71 0]

the point of offline mode is a joke. I just blocked origin from connecting to internet thru my firewall and SC will not startup as a result.  The whole point of having offline mode besides the modding is the ability to play SC w/o internet access.

 

EDIT:  in forums it says I can put origin in offline modeand not required to log in, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have to go offline in origin everytime I startup sc. Origin doesn't retain offline settings.   Im trying to figure out how to play SC with no internet connection whatsoever... any help is appreciated.

 

thanks

Are you just starting to play SC2013? If so, you have to be online when you first get on to get offline, then you can choose the offline single player mode, or the online multiplayer mode. Yeah, sounds silly, but I think that's how it is...

yes ty for your response.... sorry about my rant, I was just really looking forward to this. My isp sometimes cuts out and I have no access to internet.

Once you set origin to off-line, you have to leave it running all the time even if you are not playing simcity. If you close it, wont remember its in off-line mode and it will ask you to log in again next time you try to play.
