Is there a way to play AoE2DE singleplayer offline? I found some instructions for playing Windows Store games offline, but I have the Steam version. Ideally, I’d like to be able to do it without having to disconnect my computer itself from the internet, although this is not essential.
(For anyone wondering why I want to do this, the game is hogging my bandwidth and consequently messing up my internet connection when it’s running; see AoE2DE hogging my bandwidth when open – unable to play multiplayer)
Yes you can play single player offline against IA, campaigns, scenary editor…

Or you can start the game in steam offline mode.
There should be an option top left of the steam box for turning all of steam into offline mode.

Thanks everyone. Not sure how I missed that option in Steam…
Also, if you just launch steam without an internet connection, it will go into offline mode (you must have checked “stay signed in” the previous time, as it cannot do sign in verification offline.)
