enforced internetconnection on gamestart

[Pluto]

Hi there,

I have seen many many topics here talking about loads of problems with IL2-CoD. As I could not find a tread that already deals with my problem, I`ll quickly post it here.

I just got the game, installed it, everything ok so far but when I want to start the game without beeing connected to the internet, it says, "you cannot run this game offline". What the f... is that? Again one of the Ubisoft "obstacles"?

A year ago I swore that I would never again buy a game from them just because of that, because all their games are made like that, you cant play them offline. If I had not waited for so long for this new flightsim, I would have never got it from Ubisoft again but someone told me that this policy is not applied for IL2-CoD. Apparently it still is applied!

Is there any way to play the game without beeing forced to be connected to the internet?
