Offline play.

Master_Flagg

Sorry Gorb if this is in the wrong area. I currently live out in the sticks. so my ability to get logged into steam is very rare. so this makes it impossible to play against the computer due to the fact of losing the offline play, Does anyone have any idea as to when they will bring it back? i really don't wanna loose one of my favorite games, just because of something like this...

Master_Flagg

Well, seeing that I've posted this here and messaged both Sega and Relic about the offline play, with no response i will be uninstalling all Dawn of War games. Very saddening to not be able to play this series...

I haven't tried it myself, but wouldn't it be enough just setting offline mode in Steam? -> http://www.aidtheboss.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/steamoffline.jpg

Perhaps I misunderstood the problem.

Gorb

As per what molul said, restarting Steam in Offline Mode should be enough.

Master_Flagg

No, this does not work. You need to be Online to play offline. there is no true offline play anymore. as to whatever made them think it was a cool idea as to take offline away is beyond me.

Gorb

I'll test this myself later if I can, but this doesn't sound intentional if it is the case.

There is a difference between offline play in Single Player, I think, and offline skirmish against the AI, however.

Master_Flagg

Offline AI Skirmish is all i want back. Thats the way i play the mods and all that. Without that in the game this game is pointless for me to have on my computer due to story mode being boring as hell.

Gorb

Can confirm this, given the message that pops up I would imagine that this is a bug.

Master_Flagg

I wonder how long it'll remain like this. Dreadfully miss playing elite and destroyer40k mods

Master_Flagg

So i am assuming that Dow2 isnt being updated again, they took open beta away

ShadowArm

Sega being SEGA

and this simply confirms that Relic lost all of their w40k rights to geedubs

so, no more DoW 2 Remastered or even Space Marine

This game will die once again along with clasic DoW, Living only with UA, Firestorm or Titanium Mod

while DOW 2 continues with the Vanilla vs Elite Mod flame wars that made Relic lose interest in updating this game

You think the Elite Mod made relic lose interest? I don't even °_O

Master_Flagg

So this means I'm effectively can't play skirmish on a game I have 700+ hours on anymore Cuz neither Sega nor relic gives to shots. What the flying **++heresy redacted++** is this **++heresy redacted++**. This'll be the past time a buy from either company. As I stated before I've contacted both companies and neither side responded.

the only thing that the yave to work now its CoH 2 and maybe CoH 3, in fact ,by now all of DOW assets can be used even in SC2 or Dota 2, now that the contrack is over thanks to GeeDubs, even The now dead witch hunters mod is now public domain and being used on Titanium mod, even if relicnews denies it

Please don't spread things that are completely untrue. While news on the game's updates would be great for all of us, making stuff up is only going to confuse other posters.

So, please don't.

I'm bumping this just because we need a patch to fix this. We need offline play.

Master_Flagg

Don't bother. Its not like it matters anymore. I'm positive that Dawn of War will be left as is.

Gorb

Says the guy indavertently bumping the thread by posting

Just have faith. It's evident that DoW isn't one of their priorities right now, but I doubt they'll sit on the collection (with a Steam Sale coming up) for long.
