Pinball818 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I installed pinball fx3 and would prefer that it didn't try to connect to the internet each time I loaded a table. I have Steam in offline mode and my computer's wifi is off. If there a way to just have the table launch without having the "No Internet Error" Screen pop up each time?

rablack97 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Try going to Steam\config loginusers.vdf open the file using text editor. look for your profile and change "wantsofflinemode" to 1 and "skipofflinemodewarning" to 1 make the file read only in the properties of the file so future updates won't override it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoCOrtex Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I cant seem to find these entries "wantsofflinemode" to 1 and "skipofflinemodewarning" to 1 in loginusers.vdf its pretty empty in that file ....Unless they moved it "users" { "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" { "AccountName" "xxxxxxxxxxx" "PersonaName" "xxxxxxxx" "RememberPassword" "1" "mostrecent" "1" "Timestamp" "1508997961" } } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rablack97 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 You can't make the internal warnings of PBFX3 go away. Those will pop up from time to time, mainly by table on first run. Once you cancel or exit out of it the software acknowledges that you cancelled and it normally doesn't show up again. Once i played all 68 tables, I dont get those warnings anymore. This is part to being on steam, steam expects you to be on the internet, and so does the game. If you want to get rid of the PBFX3 error notifications altogether you might post this over at zen, theres probably a registry hack that will disable all error messaging notifications. The fix i gave you disabled the steam notification which was stopping my tables from loading. If the error/warning notification pops up just hit your plunger button and all good. It's just a warning, thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rablack97 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Ok I did some more research on this, the Devs have acknowledged the issue. Right now there is no know workaround. Hopefully they will add a don't remind tick mark in future releases. https://forum.zenstudios.com/showthread.php?18117-Steam-and-Pinballfx3-pincab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
