I have no gripe with the “always online” model, so long as the company does not pull the rug out from under the community that has come to enjoy the offline gaming experience. It’s not like offline melee vs. AI is some new feature Blizzard decided to test. This has been a core gameplay feature since SC1. I think Blizzard should have stuck to the simpler SC1 model - Single Player (with custom melee), Multiplayer via Battle Net, and the map editor. Why fix what is not broken? This is how Blizzard accumulated such a rabid RTS fanbase. The gradual turning away from this model is also why so many people are ticked off about the lack of response and support.
yes I remember those days of SCI using dialup modem or networking in house. The latency was rediculously slow and made game play no fun. The only real joy was offline vs AI, those old champaigns. It was really how SC began wasn’t it.
Still not working. Not sure what the latest patch is for.
Hello I found a way to continue my training in offline games.
Simply you need to find old save or replay in MyDocuments/StarCraft2 folder and double click on it (I think replays are even better cause you can start a game in whatever moment you pick). Then you can use REWIND feature as load tool.
When you finish you push alt+F4 and double click another save or replay.
Still I’m looking forward to fixing offline games. It’s my main training tool and I can’t train builds without it.
So far, it seems like this is a problem they’re not going to fix anytime soon, which is unfortunate. This is essentially a game killer for me. I truly enjoyed offline game play.
I have also been having this same problem.
I have the problem also. Please fix.
Problem still present. Several topics now, more useless updates and Blizzard doesn’t care. Maybe they would be more receptive to keywords like collective judiciary action.
