ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 8, 2019 ED Team Posted December 8, 2019 That's good news. But I'm a little confused. I thought you can only install a module on one PC? No you can install a module on more, the only limitation is not being able to login on both and play at the same time. If the module uses the old starforce key system you will use up and activation, if it is the new keyless system it is bound to your account. hope that helps Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

MAXsenna Posted December 17, 2019 Posted December 17, 2019 I tested this "Offline Mode", as I'm going away for the holidays and PC being offline, but I still get the the warning that it will only work for a couple of days. Should I be worried or is it just a false positive? I will be really disappointed if it stops working when I'm up in the mountains!

Offline mode requires a connection to tell the server you are going into offline mode. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

If I'm all good inspite of that I'm happy! Thanks for answering! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk

bones1014 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 The offline authorization mode needs to be longer. my ISP hasn't been able to fix my internet connection for over a week and a half and I have to use the hotspot on my phone to play the modules that I bought. This isn't my fault. I just want to play my game without having to go through the hassle of connecting my phone to my computer just a play. Sent from my ASUS_I01WDX using Tapatalk

Sent from my ASUS_I01WDX using Tapatalk Afaik you have to use your hotspot just for one DCS start. Then go to offline mode and it works without furrher connection. At least this was how it used to work last time I needed this. I found it very handy.

However using my hotspot is against the EULA on my cell provider without paying for it so this doesn't really solve anything if they decide to cut my service. Sent from my ASUS_I01WDX using Tapatalk

FistofZen Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Can't fly my modules offline Why can't I fly my modules when I want to fly offline in singleplayer? Knowing that this sim is made for people who mostly play singleplayer and most singleplayer games/sims can be played offline, somehow this thing tells me that I don't really own the modules if I don't log in, which makes it somehow like a cloud gaming thing. I remember flying in singleplayer even if you are offline, now you totally took the modules away if one plays offline. What would happen if your servers fail or you simply decide not to keep the servers alive due to unexpected/expected reasons? Do I even own my modules this way? Am I special?
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted January 25, 2020 ED Team Posted January 25, 2020 Hi if you go into offline mode you can fly in single player, it can be found at the top of the main menu in game. You will need a connection before going into off line mode. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=207670 If you do not enter off line mode you have a limited time if you have no connection. If you are in off line mode you can play without a connection. If you are seeing different please contact support Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

jimblue74 Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 but if i have internet problems and can't log in, then i can't go in "offline" mode, right? But isn't that a contradiction? If I understand correctly, to go offline, I must have an active internet connection. But if, for example, I were to have an interruption of the internet line, and I had not had time to log in before this interruption, I can no longer play?

Offline mode is best suited for planned periods of being offline. For example service men and women, or oil rig workers. The default offline period is 3 days, unless you go into offline mode. It should be noted a mobile connection is enough to switch to offline mode. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

You just don't have multiplayer or updates, but without a connection you wouldn't have those anyway. Edited January 27, 2020 by Tom Kazansky

Chuckers Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I have read this thread and have gone through the FAQs, and have not been able to find a resolution to the problem I'm having. I apologize if it turns out to be an easy fix. But, at this point, I feel there is no other option but to seek an answer on this forum. I had DCS install on my PC and, in December, placed my PC into off-line mode and installed DCS on my laptop and activated it and placed it in online mode. I primarily did that because I was on bedrest and needed to fix my crave for DCS during my five-month stint on bedrest. Now, that I am off bedrest, I have placed by laptop in off-line mode and have not been able for days now to activate and get my PC into online mode, so that I can play the game with all my purchased modules on my PC. What do I have to do to get my PC activated and my account into online mode? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall DCS? Please give me a detailed easy to follow answer. Any information that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. I so look forward to utilizing the new supercarrier module. I'm having withdrawal symptoms from not being able to access DCS. Please help me! Thanks, in advance, for any advice that you can provide. Sincerely, Chuckers Edited June 5, 2020 by Chuckers
MAXsenna Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I think you need to bring your laptop back to online mode, close DCS, and then start DCS on the desktop. Have you tried that? Because when you close DCS you basically logs off, and can then log into DCS on another computer. While offline are supposed keep you logged on even when you're computer is offline. Now, I have no idea why this worked for you when you went the other way. Because the way you described it shouldn't have worked. Or I may be completely wrong about this, as I was going to be offline for three months from before Christmas to February, so I put DCS in offline mode, and took my computer with me. But alas. It stopped after three days anyway. I will not put into words my disappointment, but I will sure test this in advance next time. I swear! Hope you sort it out!
