I upgraded the game yesterday to build 73939 and I wanted to play completely offline, but now neither singleplayer nor multiplayer lights up, only "System designer", "Settings" and "Quit" are lit. What's going on? Have they removed offline gaming?
First of all to play offline your OS have to be 64-bit. There also two requirements game check before it's enable offline mode: 8+GB RAM Quad core CPU You can bypass this check by setting "Offline Server" option to "On", but keep in mind your PC likely not met requirement for offline play.
I am using 73939. If I bypass the launcher and start the game directly, it's the same problem. I have attached a screenshot of the problem. I have attached dxdiag output too. Before the upgrade there were no problems.
You don't have the minimum requirement, memory wise, to run offline. You have 4 GB, and 8 are required. EDIT : + your CPU seems to have only 2 cores (even if 4 threads)
The problem was "Offline Server", because I wanted to play it on my laptop too, but the laptop is a i5 dual core. Normally I play on my desktop which is Quad Core. Thanks!
Just a FYI, if you extend your memory on your laptop to 8gb it will work. I have a dual core (4 thread) i5 laptop and offline works fine, I don't think PA differentiates between physical and logical cores so it will view your laptop as a quad core.
