- I tried a few things and here's what I found: It works when offline, without update, works offline with update. Being logged out while online doesn't work. Disconnecting from internet when launching and connecting back when on the main menu didn't work, as the game changed the network card used - shared my connection to it and the game froze the instant my GFWL profile was logged in.
