Lord Elathorn 1 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 If I have the game installed but am away from internet connection, can the game be played on a peer to peer set-up or LAN/WLAN mode? Essentially, do you need internet to play? Link to post Share on other sites
Liesel Weppen 241 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 No, it does not work without internet. However, the only internet traffic that is required is the server authenticating the steam ids on player connections. The actual game runs completely in the LAN. Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Elathorn 1 Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 No - not a play pirated games question. I have the game legitimately, but I wanted to know if I can play it when I'm out of internet range on my boat Link to post Share on other sites

Pichii 20 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) If you put steam in offline mode maybe 1p will work? (Test it and if it works you have your answer since you own a copy. :)) This game requires a 3g connection minimally to play with friends tho. Even if its LAN which only improves ping. Also, just putting it out there but satelite internet works anywhere and if youre in 1p it wont matter what your ping is cuz youre connected to yourself. lol Edited February 8 by Pichii (see edit history) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Elathorn 1 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Thanks for the advice guys. I tested the game by disabling wifi on the laptop and launching from the c:Drive rather than Steam and it worked for a solo game, so I think I'll be good when out of internet contact 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Even if its LAN which only improves ping. Pretty sure not. The connection speed between clients and server should be at least at 3G-speed. If playing in LAN, THIS connection part is way faster than 3G. Not tested in a real environment anyway: The server in opposite only verifies the logindata of players via internet. That's very few traffic volume and not time critical (at least not in matter of ping times, of course the requests will timeout at some time). Basically from what i saw from all my traffic, this should work with minimal internet connectivity (like GPRS) and should even work if the clients have no internet access, but only the server. So if you e.g. put up a LAN with 4 clients + server on a boat and (only) the server hast internetconnection, e.g. by using his built in cellular device, you should be able to play multilpayer.

Still have to have a data connection to play 7d2d in the first place tho. Even if its LAN or you cannot login. I have tested this when my internet has gone out. Data traffic is about the same as discord usage. Its just that you have to have a data connection in the first place. Its kinda laggy depending on the network you connect to but playable. Using LAN merely avoids going thru steam servers and routing so you get alot of ping boosts. (If you do a 3G connection, I strongly recomend LAN to make it a enjoyable experience.)
