PAYDAY 3 Finally Getting Offline Mode That Requires Internet Connection Runs Worse
"It will work, though".
Developer Starbreeze Entertainment says PAYDAY 3 is finally getting what it called an "offline mode," but one that needs an online internet connection and runs worse than normal. Apparently, the Solo Mode Beta will be updated over time, removing the requirement at a later date.
As reported by VG247, Starbreeze said it's addressing the "online only" criticism the game has received by adding the mode in a developer update video. Global brand director Almir Listo said: "It's not our full vision for this feature. 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 a 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."
