Will Only Launch in "Airplane Mode"

The game will only launch if I have my laptop in "airplane mode". If I am connected to a wireless network it won't launch; I see the first splash screen with the game's title and then the second process starts but exits before the loading screen is displayed. I purchased and run the game through Steam.

With the laptop in "airplane mode", the game runs just fine. It's truly odd.

Is this a known issue, is there a workaround?

Thank you!

I went ahead and blocked the first executable and then both, but the issue persists. After I read your message I was kicking myself for not thinking of this myself, I was really surprised to see the issue even with these rules in place. I've attached some screenshots as proof that I did setup the rules!

For me, playing the game with the wireless turned off is not a big deal. I can still eyeball mail and stuff on my phone.

Thank you for looking into this issue, I appreciate it. :-)

Thanks for the update Cmiles74 and Apologies for my delayed response.

It's truly peculiar, I'm going to ask if anyone else on the team can think of any reason this might be. Logically if it was WFTO misfiring blocking its access to the internet via the Firewall should have resulted in the same workaround.

Most interestingly another user reported that they get a different result when blocking the game in the firewall. I wonder if there's a potential conflicting rule. Have you checked the normal "Allow apps to communicate through Windows Defender Firewall" list. It's possible WFTO is allowed in there and removing it may allow the block to work correctly.

Hi Cmiles74,

I'm pleased to report that the upcoming Patch 2.0.8 should resolve this issue entirely. It's not yet on the default Steam branch but is available as a beta. How to: Access the Debug Branch on Steam.

Cheers,

Lee
