What the....
I'm a bit confused about this (nothing new:O:).
But It seems to me that I've played the game when my internet(s) was down and didn't have a warning screen or anything reminding me of it.
Quite often, my wireless connection gets so weak that it disconnects (the usual service in CA) and I just keep on going.
I understand that this launcher is completly internet free, but as far as playing with the DRM disconnected, I thought I was unhooked then. (Even though my games continue to save online, which can be a two sided sword).
Anyway, so I'm taking it that disconnecting the DRM is not playing internet free.:hmmm:

If you have play offline enabled then i would say that the game is syncing with ubilauncher , not online .
