I was trying to get clarification, and this explains what was meant by 'logging in to log out," so, thank you.Īnd just to be clear, I hate the Origin requirement too.First of all, make sure your Mac meets the minimum requirements: ETA: But I'm glad you pointed out that if you currently have an internet connection, Origin will open in online mode. Okay, but even that is different from the statements I was questioning and doesn't really change what I said. Otherwise, I feel that Origin's 'running offline' is a sham.

If this is actually a glitch and 'offline mode' is supposed to be a persistent setting (as I'd like it to be) then I hope to learn how to fix that. (Like most people, I have an 'always on' internet connection, unless something's gone wrong.)

Yes, I could do something like block it via firewall, but I'd rather not have to mess with the firewall rules every time I actually want to let Origin talk to download a new update or whatnot. The next time I start Origin, it will again go online and remain so until I specifically take it offline. Which lasts precisely until I exit Origin. It always starts in online mode, has opportunity to 'phone home' with whatever advertising info it wants to share, and then I can set it to 'offline' mode.

To elaborate: I can't set it so that when I start Origin up, it starts in offline mode. Which is to say, I can find no way to set Origin so that it -stays- offline. The problem, from my own point of view, is that there really -isn't- an 'offline version' of Origin. I hate it when companies intentionally lie about their products. My Sims computer does not have internet access in any form, so these supposed 'does not need the internet to play' claims of theirs are false, as proved by everyone who has even installed the game, and that made me so glad I held off on buying the game.

It's also why I refuse to buy the game: they either need to stop lying about the requirements or put out a patch that fixes their stupidity. It's EA failing at their entire business model. Forcing players to log on to another program to even play the game at all, especially a program as craptastic and prone to crashing as Origin, is beyond flaming piles of poop stupid. But it would be incorrect to say you need an internet connection to play the game.īut by needing to go online to validate the game in order to play it it means that the game REQUIRES the internet to play, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. (Guessing here)Īgain, I hate having to do this, too. I'm never going to be Origin friendly so my point is moot.Įdit: Or, people are assuming they are going online when they are logging into the offline version of Origin installed on their computer. If it were that I had to log in every time, I would have stopped playing a long time ago. I guess it's just me, but I enjoy the simplicity of it and prefer to keep it that way. Outside of the launcher, I click a shortcut on my desktop and I'm in game. It's easier to convert everything that can be converted to package files which has a secondary benefit of files being smaller in size. If I use the launcher in TS3, I have to log in, but I avoid the launcher as much as possible. Unless we're talking about the initial validation - which they said would be the case. I'm not sure why I've been reading 'have to go online to go offline'. I would rather not have to log into Origin, heck, I would rather not have Origin, but, they weren't wrong in saying you can play the game without internet access (once it's been validated). But, I thought we we're talking about how, after the initial activation, you don't need to have internet access to log into Origin and play the game. Somebody asked about this very thing, and one of the responses was: I just saw something about this on the official forum. The spin of this word is complete and utter bullshit. However, in the land of EA, 'offline' now means that as long as you are not connected to the internet via Origin, this is 'offline'. If I attempt to go anywhere online, Windoze is going to spit out errors telling me that I'm not connected to the internet or that there is a problem with my internet connection.

To be offline means there is no internet connection between my computer and my ISP. I take the literal translation of the word. Yeah, the definition of "offline" has changed. I don't want Ea's spyware on my pc, it also messes up my sims 3 launcher. This isn't like simcity 2013 that you must have origin always, riight? Because I installed my game and now I seriously just want to uninstal the origin. Every time I launch sims 4 it forces me log into origin or the sims 4 won't start.
