finch Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 So, because in the other thread steam is offtopic I will open a new one asking what is the difference between the new 2.5.1 system protection and the steam version of DCS. What i understand is that the offline mode button in the steam version will not be present, and will only use the steam protection, is this true? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrylx444 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I don't even know what the offline mode is supposed to do, since it already asks me if I want to log in or not in a separate dialogue. But FWIW: I have Steam version and the Offline button toggle does exist on my main screen. However, playing with it just now: If I do log in then click offline mode, the icon changes to offline (works?). If I don't log in then click offline mode, I get the following error: "Can't enter offline mode: error 502." <Shrugs> [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Setup: Vive Pro 2, RTX 3090, I7-11700K, VKB Gladiator II/K conversion, TWCS, TPR pedals, PlaySeat, SimShaker, VoiceAttack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars Exulte Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Generally, there isn't much difference between the two on your end, except Steam handles some of the functions that otherwise ED performs. The offline function not working yet in Steam is likely because of one of two things : Steam has its own offline functionality and ED's is either being integrated into it or is made redundant by it It has not yet been rolled out for Steam because it's still in beta and not 100% finished, thus still being beta edit It appears it's a conbination of both pointa, redundancy and not being finished yet Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted May 5, 2018 ED Team Share Posted May 5, 2018 Hi yes I spoke to a team member this morning, the offline button currently in the beta on steam is going to be removed. Steam uses its own off line mode. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
