I’ve had Darkwood on Epic Games for a while now and since now I have a steam deck, I figured that it would be awesome to play Darkwood on it. But the game refuses to launch in offline mode, and there is also no options for offline mode in the settings of the game on Heroic. Are you guys experiencing it too while offline? I thought this game doesn’t require you to be offline or something.

    This has happened to me for various Epic Games titles. I bought Sonic Origins (which has Denuvo) and played it on WiFi, then if I turn off the WiFi it refuses to launch. I turn on the “Play Offline” setting in Epic Games, connect to WiFi again and the game refuses to launch. No matter what I do, the game is essentially locked to “always online” for some reason,

    What makes this infinitely worse is, I played this for 5 months hassle free offline and suddeny out of this restriction has been set upon me. This pissed me so much, I just bought it on Steam where I only need to go online once every few weeks and then I can play it fine without wifi. I hate double-dipping, but I need to be able to play on the go.
