Yeah, you have to play while connected to the internet once every so often to renew the DRM or something.

Hi, did you fixed the issue?  


I'm played JC3 fine on the first launch afterwards upon second launch, I'm facing error to go into online mode from steam :(

I’m trying to play JC3 while my internet is down. It’s fully installed on my computer, and I even played it with no internet yesterday, but today it keeps saying that “for the first launch,” Steam has to be in online mode. Why is this happening, and can it be fixed?
