No internet - how do I start the game?

[andyw248]

Seems we're having an internet outage here tonight. Does anyone know how to start the game in offline mode? I tried but the launcher says it's unable to find updates...

I'm not sure if this will work because I'm connected and can't test but...

In the game folder / bin / game check for il2.exe this may skip past the patch phase and then you'd hopefully be able to click offline mode.

Works! Thank you, this should get me through an evening without internet Might be something for the FAQ section too...

If you has saved you email/password, you can open the game offline when you want.

 

Start the game be il-2.exe skip de Launcher, but not the authentication, if you password was no saved, and you don't have Internet connection, no play.

Actually I unsaved my password recently, but by skipping the launcher I was able to start the game directly, then enter my password manually and click the gray "offline" button, and a somewhat reduced offline menu was presented which worked fine for me.
