[Suggestion] Offline play

Hello,

currently you are not able to play the game offline since it tries to download/verify the latest version of the spring engine on launch and exits with an error message stating that no connection to the server could be made.

I suggest not blocking the player out of the game but instead starting the game in an offline mode where logging in/multiplayer games arent possible. (which doesn't seem hard to implement since you can already play single player without logging in).

I never play multiplayer since I prefer being able to pause the game to give me time to think about my next move, also most players are too good at this game for me. Today I was looking forward to playing the game on my laptop at a place without internet connection and was sad that it couldnt work.

I like this game and would love to be able to play it at places with no internet connection.

Thanks for reading.

As you correctly noticed, the game actually supports offline play. The easiest way to enable it is by using the steam version.

I sent you a steam key via in-game PM if you want to try it.

Hello and thanks for the replies,

after updating to the latest version I am still not able to play the game offline on GNU/Linux.

Yes, nothing has been changed. Would you want to try playing zk using steam or are you looking for a different solution?

I once tried to make a [url=https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/pull/2008
]version of the launcher that should work offline[/url], but left that be in favour of simply using the steam version.

AUrankSortale what do you mean by "My wrapper launch zero-k offline"? Your crash log says that the AI you were using is incompatibile. This is unsurprising if you didn't update.

CHrankAdminDeinFreund I'd love to try the steam version, the key you sent me ingame was already used though.

I was just assuming that a change has been made since I was told to update and try again.

Sorry, I sent you some more keys (which should work I hope). Maybe you can even share some of them with your freunds :)
