Play offline

[The Ferox]

When you are asked to login at the EA/ Paradise server, press backspace. Then you can get into offline mode.

I guess some people (including me) did not know this. I just post it for those who can't get on because they think you MUST be signed in.

Or you can press cancel. Either if you cancel or fail to connect, the game will continue automatically in offline mode. The game won't exit, so I'm sorry and no offense, but this bit of info is pretty useless.

If you had a problem with the game exiting if you failed to connect to the EA server, that's a problem with your PC.

I'm trying to find a way to not log into the dumb servers. My game locks up once I enter the game if I'm online. As soon as I enter the option menu I freeze up so I don't even know if there's a way to disconnect from the online server.

This is beyond annoying.
