[0.86] Fallen Enchantress won't start offline / keeps hanging if I go offline after starting

from Elemental Forums

Not sure if it's trying to report stuff back to a master server or what is going on, but when I play the game offline (by starting the game when I'm online and then going offline), lots of things hang forever. Battle resolution is one of them. The game will just sit there for a solid minute before allowing me to do anything else. If I go back online, everything's instantaneous again. Is there some workaround? (I am traveling and Internet is VERY expensive)

Lol. The beta has to connected to the beta server to function.

Oh wow. I had no idea the beta needed a constant internet. They should make that clear in the download/sign up. Its like having Steam but for one game.

Did you read the Beta FAQ, EULA, or dev journals? They all talk about this. It is a great way to run a beta. They can get much better feedback this way.

Frogboy has said the final game won't require a connection to play.

No one reads EULAs. I mustve missed in in the others (not in the beta FAQ that I can see). Regardless it wasnt made clear. Didnt know I was being recorded. Better start playing with pants on.
