Hi, I got home today after a hard day of work, looking forward to continuing my modern warfare single player campaign that I just started, only to find that it needed a 20gb update. Unfortunately I am on 4G internet, so have to take my PC to work every time I want to download a big update or a new game. My work is closed down temporarily and I’m working from home. I was wondering how to launch battlenet in offline mode so I can continue playing the single player campaign without installing the new update?
I hope during these tough times that battlenet caters to us poor folk who can’t afford premium internet, and at least lets us play the single player campaign.
You can change the update settings to never update by clicking the Blizzard logo > Settings > Game Install. However, the game may still require an update when you launch the game before you can select the campaign mode, even if you are manually launching the game from the folder. If you would like to suggest an offline mode though, please suggest that on the Activision site here.
