The list of sanctions imposed on Russia is growing by the day. At some point, restrictions may also affect game libraries. What should you do if you suddenly find yourself using the”sovereign Internet”? We decided to look back at how to use offline mode on popular platforms and consoles.
The key point – it is obvious that you will not be able to download games after losing the connection. That’s why it’s important to download all the games you want in advance. Stock up on space on your hard drives and SSDs!
To use the library from Valve the program has a standalone mode. Here you can run games that do not require a permanent connection to the network.
Most single-player games in GOG will run smoothly and without access to the Internet due to the fact that the platform has no DRM. To do this, when installing games, in addition to the main exe-ship, a shortcut named Launch [game name] is also placed in the folder – for example Launch Cyberpunk 2077. This launches the game directly, without the GOG Galaxy Launcher.
The Activision Blizzard Launcher only suits StarCraft II and remasters of StarCraft, Diablo 2 and Warcraft III for offline gameplay. That said, even these games will only launch if you’ve logged in to them in the last 30 days. To enter offline mode, you simply need to click”Skip Login” when logged in.
To activate offline mode, go to settings through the menu in the upper left corner. Select the”Go offline” function.
Activate offline mode in the settings. To do this, turn on the”Allow offline mode” function. The downloaded games are now available to you.
The most capricious launcher. Offline activation is easy, you just need to select the option in the menu, but sometimes the program still requires a login and password.
Single-player games on the Nintendo console should run unrestricted if you downloaded them in advance or use cartridges. In the latter case, don’t forget to install any updates.
We believe this guide won’t be useful to anyone, but in this day and age it pays to be prepared for anything. And if you’re interested in how you can recharge your Steam account after the sanctions and buy games, check out our other material.
