I am travelling all day tomorrow. Will no internet connection block me from playing?

Long layover/travel ahead and there is no better way to pass the time than FM12. Do I need to set up play without internet connection, or just go like normal?

Last thing I want to do is have to pay $15 for 30 minutes airport wifi connection.

Thanks!

I mabye wrong but if you turn steam to offline, you can play as normal. Well thats what i do when i get no internet connection.

Make sure you have the box ticked to save your login details (username/password) when you open steam. As long as you have this, you should have no problems playing without an internet connection.

In my experience, as long as you have your account details saved, starting steam without an internet connection pops up a box saying something like "steam couldn't connect to the internet. start in offline mode?". But just to be safe, you might want to put it in offline mode in advance. Open steam, click 'account', and then 'go offline'.

if you want to be triple safe, start steam, set it to offline mode, make sure FM starts, and dont shut it down, that way you wont have to re-load it and it should avoid any problems.

Make sure you set offline mode properly whilst online before you go. (And check it works)
