Hi

If I bought the Steam version of this game will I be able to play it in offline mode without activating Steam on my computer?

thanks

For the first two identical questions, I believe it is cross-distributor yes. Doesn't matter where you bought it.

 

I reckon you would be able to play in steam offline mode, but you'd have to have steam running, unless you ran it from the game files themselves (which I believe is possible, you won't get the overlay obviously). The game itself can run in offline mode, without any restrictions other than a lack of multiplayer from what I know.

And the game's career mode.

I don't see any exe. file to start the game from its files. So I think, you have to use Steam. So for not being online in Steam, disconnecting internet and playing offline should be the way to do it.

There's an IL-2.exe in the 'bin' folder and starting the game from there gave me the option to play offline too but it asked for a log-in first.

Just saw this the first time.
