I suggest the following:
Self-contained offline install-and-play package,
with offline/LAN only "play offline" button without any login requirements.
Reasons: totally offline install and play (no faforever.com login requirement, offline DVD FAF install and manual update assumed)
when going into game (single player private lobby against random ai, not yet in game), then alt-tab several times in variable ways, then both screens go to grey and the uncaught exception window happens:
