@Jip said in Offline Line Campaign/Skirmish:

You need to host at least one (coop) game through the client. That will retrieve the file in question. Then you can play offline again.

The game files are not included with the launcher by default.

Thanks for the help Jip, I appreciate it.

No, i don't whant that 😄
I was searching for a beginner in AI play.

Then i can only advertise the debug function from my AI mod.
You can set a endless loop for games, so it will restart the session after the game is over.
It will also log additional script tasks / memory using information for debugging.

To copy stuff over from my old PC was the way I broke it here. I now deinstalled downlords client and tried to clean all remainders of it. With a clean install and all mods installed again from the vault it now really works like a charm.

Thx

Absolutely none; the game is bone-stock. However, the replay I'm attempting to load is from an ancient version; over 7 years old. (I'm not sure if we had mods enabled then, though...)

Possible to change video settings (resolution, etc.) from FAF or do I have to go to vanilla game?

Restart PC then Uninstall(like executing the uninstaller not just install the new, also make sure the folder of the program is gone after that, tick the checkbox to install all) and install whatever version you like.

Might be a permissions thing. By moving it, it would get new NTFS permissions, inherited from the parent folder.
