Paid for DLC not available in offline mode

[lesthegrngo]

Hi all

I have just gone to DCS world to work with the DCS Bios setup for an input / output device, and it is asking me to login to the Multiplayer part, which I don't want as I need to do some testing offline. However when I do that, my DSC A10-C DLC is now disabled, even though it was purchased as a standalone DVD copy.  It never used to be like that, and why should it matter if I want to play something I paid for offline?

Can anyone advise as to how I can rectify this?

Cheers

The protection system changed some years ago. You can enter Offline mode anytime, but in order to do this, you must connect once. More details here:

Steam works the same way, if you dont validate your user credentials online then you cant play. However, you could always install that dvd you have and play offline.
