[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63892, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/payday-3']Payday 3[/URL] developer Starbreeze Entertainment is finally adding what it's called an "offline mode" to the game but it requires an online connection to access and runs worse than normal. As reported by [URL='https://www.vg247.com/payday-3-offline-solo-mode-beta-boys-in-blue-update']VG247[/URL], Starbreeze claims to have finally addressed the "online only" criticism by adding what it's dubbed the Solo Mode Beta. The mode will be updated over time, seemingly to make it a legitimate offline mode at some point, but for now players must be connected to the internet to access it and they won't receive progression rewards until they connect again. When will these updates come? "[Solo mode] will be improved once we improve this feature," head of community and global brand director Almir Listo said in a developer update [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r26hIijRoRo']video[/URL]. You will still be required to start the game while online in Solo Mode, which will be improved once we improve this feature. "It's not our full vision for this feature," he began. "For now, we're setting it as a beta to see how it runs. We expect the performance to be affected since the parts normally frontloaded by our servers will now have to be run on your own hardware. "It will work though, and you can get progression that will update you once you return online. You will still be required to start the game while online in Solo Mode, which will be improved once we improve this feature. For now though, we want to test that the features that went into this work work properly." The initial release of the Solo Mode Beta will be released as part of a greater patch to go alongside the Boys in Blue update, which adds a new playable character, weapons, and more on June 27, 2024. Payday 3's launch in September 2023 was somewhat of a disaster, plagued with server issues that [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/payday-3-devs-ceo-apologizes-for-server-issues-at-launch']forced then Starbreeze CEO Tobias Sjögren to apologise[/URL].
