Ok that is now resolved, thank you very much..

So............

I enter the game......it gives me the option to log in off-line mode...
Game starts up....tells me about a synic save game with server failuer...
I start a game anyway....it tells me a synic with server failuer and aborts ANYWAY ....

I do not have any issues and I am in offline mode. Getting the Uplay to start in offline mode is wonky. When you selected offline mode, did Uplay restart to begin in offline mode? It sounds like you have found the option, but it is not taking.

Well I had tried out a mod and it turns out I had to remove and re-install the game to get certain options back. So maybe it when I install the game and start it up, the autoupdater will do it right this time. And I will try again.

If it dose work that will be cool and that can be resolved, but if you can not save it, then the problem stands.
You can save and play SkyRim in offline mod not connected to the internet at all. But that is the way STEAM dose that, even for their own games by Valve like Half-life 2. I may not care for STEAM but I give them that. You can play dissconnected from the Internet and still play the game in off-line mode.

Ok, Here is how this works....

I just re-tested it again, this is a clean install of SH5. I even started it online so it could be reg and updated. With the disk still in the drive, I go dissconnecte from The Inet, because this is "REAL OFF-LINE MODE" on many levels. Game claims there is no internet connection. it tells me it saves and then aborts...So it is a "FAIL" at playing off line all togeather.

When I say playing in off-line mode I mean like how STEAM dose it. Logged in "OFF-LINE MODE" and dissconnected from the Inet. This is "REAL" off line mode because there is no internet connection at all. And you can play Half-life 2 or SkyRim or what ever all day long and not be bothered by STEAM for anything.

When I hear it is fixed I am thinking like ROCKSTAR games of GTA V, were you can play in "OFF-LINE MODE" Dissconnected from the Internet. But you can not save games.

As long as you have to be connected to the Internet in order to play anything, there is no Off-line mod. So this option is redundant by 100 fold... My statement still stands.....

Well, I just tested this and it worked for 2 hours with no glitches or problems.

I launched Uplay Launcher.
I disabled my internet (by shutting down the controller completely)
I played for 2 hours with no CTDs or any other problems.

I understand what your saying....Let me try it like this, because the pics tell it like it is....

To me, this says the game can not be played without a inet connection. Just returns me to the bunker for nothing.... So for me, there is no playing the game off line .

This topic is very old now.

If you have setup for offline mode correctly - you only need an internet connection the very first time you sign in.
There after if you start with no connection - uplay will check for any updates to the launcher - find no connection and let you start the game

I agree with you the topic is VERY old...

And if you have looked at the pics. I do not see how much more is needed for a "Set Correctly off-line mod" than what is done. If there is another selection that no one is telling me about, then I can see were I am unable to do this. If in the "PICS" is the way to set it for off-line mode. And as seen in the "PICS" I can not do so.

Then it is what it is. I am NOT a "SOFTWERE COMPUTER IDIOT"! I Do not see what is so hard to understand that! I am not NEW to "PC VIDEO GAMES" world! I have been understanding the concept since 1994!!

I know what "ON-LINE" is and I know what "OFF-LINE" is, My goodness I network my very home computers for LAN play with the kids!!! The "PICS" show what happends, that is the out come. There is nothing more to it! It is that simple. So unless there is something in the "PICS" that is not there that I need to do, then tell me. Do not not tell me if I set it the right way it will play off line!! What right way? What advanced setting that my stupid self over looked that makes it not work like everyone else sir?
Because it is updated, and this is the $8.00 game available in the US.
And it can play with no disk....

Perhaps a slow down and wee think may help

You were not called an idiot

Ok first things first...

GLOATING about WHAT? IS that how you provide tips to people? "Let me gloat over your ignorence... because I PROVEN MY POINT."

Lets examin that point...of what you showed off in mockery about... Guess what?

IT DOSEN NOT WORK! PERIOD, IT HAS NOT BEFORE, IT WILL NOT NOW. IT SAYS THE SAME THING EVERY TIME I TRY IT!!

"The internet connection experiences problems and
the current game session was saved. Please wait
until the internet connection is restored or
press OK button to return to the main menu."

Quit trying to make me out to be a IDIOT!

Quit trying to make me out to be a LYER

Because I am getting fed up with more than just the game not working off line.

All my pics are placed in the post I have made. IF YOU choose not to want to see them, making or just are incapable of helping with the problem with out makeing me look like a fool. Then your help is pointless to me...

FOR THAT REASON I AM DONE!!

I thank those of you that gave "USEFULL TIPS" that did resolve issues. For that I am very thankfull .

I am REQUESTING the Web Master or Moderater to please LOCK THIS THREAD to prevent further posting. A problem is unresolvable and I am tired of be made out like a fool or lyer when this by fact before my eyes on my system CLEARLY not working.

Once again...I am REQUESTING the Web Master or Moderater to please LOCK THIS THREAD to prevent further posting.

Hey Kessner

I am sorry that my post has upset you
It may help others.

Kessner,

I am really sorry that you got upset with Trevally, because he is one of the friendliest, most helpful and lesser conceited forum members around here, and I am sure he didn't deserve your anger

Talking about your problem, my ubi laucher settings are exactly like yours, except for the "Enable in game overlay" checkbox, unchecked and the "Disable all in game social notifications" checkbox, checked (but these should be unrelevant anyway). I have a question though: does the top right corner of your launcher's main tab display your username, as clearly shown in the second picture posted by Trevally?

In my post #21 page 2, there are two pics, I have no way to past the whole pic in the text spot on the fourm, But if you click on the lil pics, they WILL display what I have done. Yes my name shows up on the bar. I CAN start UP the game in OFF-LINE mode all the way to the menu. BUt when I go to to play a SAVED game or START a new game, it loads and then stops leaving me a Inet message of a NO connection, aborts and takes me BACK to the menu. The two pics are in my POST #21 page 2, they are the small pics below the post, Click on them to expand and you will see for yourself.

But NO ONE wants to LOOK ...Instead of looking for them to see what I am talking about. It is easer to claim "I do not see a THING..." mock me and make me a fool or lyer WHEN THE PICS ARE RIGHT THERE! Than be ANY kind of help. So due to this action I realized that the problem can not
be-resolved because it is beyound anyone's understanding. Its $8.00 junkwere with a ball and chain, I will put up with it.

I suppose you have already tried switching the launcher to online mode, launched the game, closed it, switched back to off-line.
I am just guessing since, as you have correctly said, your problem is beyond our understanding... nonetheless, sometimes the solution to the oddest problems is in front of our eyes and we just can't see it

Wish you good luck anyway
