Raisuli Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) 7 hours ago, BIGNEWY said: On stand alone DCS you would usually have 3 days off line auth, So say like you logged in on Monday and then the server went down you would get 3 days off line, We also have a dedicated offline mode for people who work away from a internet connection. You need to enter off line mode while online, then you can remain off line for as long as you wish. So...today's uber dumb question. If I take DCS offline I can run it forever. If I want to update (every six-ish weeks) I take it on-line, do the update, then go off-line again. Apart from not being able to access MP servers, which I don't anyway, is there a downside to this? I'm really, really liking it. <edit> Ok, I have two installations; one for reviewing tracks and creating missions on my desktop, one for playing on the simpit game machine. Offline the desktop version has the time limiter, which makes absolutely perfect sense. I can always RDP into the game machine for that kind of thing or pop back on-line long enough to log the desktop in. Either way that's a me thing and ED did it right. </edit> Edited February 12 by Raisuli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any major hardware changes it can screw things up/lock you out. That's the big watchout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
