So you can't play Solo offline after all? Great. | Forums

I'm very careful these days to get hyped over a game because it seems that every game needs an always on broadband connection. Which I don't have.

So when just about every interview/FAQ/marketing bit I saw for Wildlands said you could play offline with AI, I assumed that you would be able to do exactly that.

Except you can't. Because it won't even start with Uplay in offline mode, no matter whether you turn off automatic updates, cloud saving, overlay and all notifications.

Awesome. Ubisoft strikes again.

Guess its refund time as 'not as described/fit for purpose'?

they never said it will work offline. infact they said from the start you will always have a connection to play.

Not sure who 'they' are but I've seen multiple sources including interviews with the developers where it said you would NOT require a connection to play, even commenting that it was a refreshing change from the current apparent norm.

Also, it isn't mentioned in the system specs.

Try to run it (GRW.exe) directly from the game folder, I tried this even without internet connection, and it works.

I have a hunch you're the same Buster who just helped me out over there -->

Thanks, dude! I wouldn't have thought of trying that particular brand of crazy. I just assumed when it kept insisting I had to go online to start the game I was going to be screwed.

I guess you posted some sort of link, but it's empty. I saw the same question in steam, so must be I'm the same Buster Anyway, glad to help.
