Unable to play offline with new update

[Cynical Bird]

@lewie4 With the new 1.2.4.10 update I’m unable to play offline. I don’t always have data or wifi. The game gives a download failed error if not connected and won’t let you continue into the game. You can’t clear nodes offline, use the lab or collect/run missions.

Check out all the threads about the new update not working. They can answer your questions

Edit- Sorry, none of those threads talk about playing offline vs. online. Brainfart on my part…

Try putting your device into airplane mode.

I tested this on my phone (IPhone 5) and with no internet the game doesn’t load and says to check your internet connection.

I don’t always have internet access and offline mode was handy.

don’t know why it has been put back in for

I bet it has something to do with those annoying ab blast ads that pop up whenever you log in

@sam-spargo lost track of how times I accidentally clicked on them due to delays and overlays. #a-n-n-o-y-i-n-g

The .1 soft update fixed the offline play.

@mightydove that happens to me alot on epic

[Mighty Dove]

@millforce2k – EEP! nope, it doesn’t. :) Offline play at least when loading the game doesn’t work.

@sam-spargo – Ads ruin the game at the best of times. Maybe give people the option to buy an ad-free version or use in-play features like gems. I already know the answer to this btw, just wanted to give some consumer feedback ;)

@millforce2k There is still no offline play.

[MillForce2k]

@mightydove @datguygamer Are you on ios? Just tried again and it’s working for me on Android.

[datguygamer]

@millforce2k I am on Android and on v1.24.10.2. I cannot play offline.

[MillForce2k]

@datguygamer Hmm, that’s odd, though not surprising.

[datguygamer]

@millforce2k While I can expect this sort of thing from Rovio, what surprises me is that you can apparently play offline while I can’t.

@datguygamer nothing surprises me these days with Rovio when v 1.24.10.0 came out waited a bit to to ensure it was working and my friend and I both upgraded and we are both on Android and he could watch ads and I couldn’t. I generally only watch them now for the extra guess on missions and double the gems in daily rewards but the fact he could and I couldn’t was just strange. Couldn’t watch them until the soft update to 1.24.10.1

[datguygamer]

@phillips Well It would have been great to play offline but….

[prisoner1969]

Still can’t play offline after the latest update. Still hangs on title screen saying check wifi. Dumb *^&!*$@ Rovio.

[datguygamer]

Nope, new version still requires internet to launch. Note that after you’ve launched the game, you can turn off internet but it requires internet the first time and that bugs me.

[ED209]

I just tested on my iPhone 5

I’m on 1.25.4.3 and on iOS 10.2 and when I load the game I get a message about not being able to. Connect and will not load

[datguygamer]

@ed209 On my android, I need internet to launch the game, not play it.
