How can I play offline?

from Elemental Forums

Hi,

 

I'm unable to play Elemental offline, how can I do that? I'll be in a few days without internet during some days and would have liked to play it on my laptop while I travel.

 

Also, I'm unable to log out from within the game, I would like to not have my achievements tracked, but it is not possible to log out once logged in, or I did not find the solution?

 

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Hey PocusFr, it will depend on if you've installed the beta patch or the normal one

You can play the game offline if you've use the 1.11 patch but you'll have to stay online if you're using the 1.19 beta patches\

this is right I'm in 1.19m, so this explain. You also mean that with 1.20 official patch, I can revert to offline? thanks!

Also, with beta patches, EWoM won't fully load unless/until you establish an Internet connection.  However, EWoM without any 'beta' patches will load fine with no Internet connection active.  

 

easiest thing is to have Internet off, and load EWoM. If you load from Impulse, currently it will say its 'working in offline mode.'  I have no idea what will happen when the 'other' company (gamestop?  I think) takes over Impulse...   so watch for behavior changes if you want to be sure nothing is going out over the internet to your ladder, or trophy, etc.  Hope this helps
