How to Launch Vortex OFFLINE? without logging IN?

[Drivinghard]

Is there someway to launch and use Vortex WITHOUT having to be connected to the internet at ALL when the program is launched? I don't always have access to the internet while i am traveling it is such a nuisance!

Thank you.

What is stopping you from doing this? Vortex will probably show a bunch of errors related to failed network requests but otherwise it should work

well ONE of the red errors Vortex will display OFFline if launched is "Unable to Load Master List" . . i have never tried to use Vortex's features whenever i have seen this i thought "Loading a Master List" was important for Vortex to keep track of mods installs etc..

so whenever that has happened i shut Vortex down and relaunched it AFTER i connected to the internet, then it does not sqwak . .

I haven't tried just ignoring the warnings yet but i will make a Clone of my ssd and try that i guess...
also there is a setting somewhere in Vortex to DISABLE UPDATING i think i read somewhere?

thanks a lot,

The master list is the list LOOT uses for sorting.  If it can't check for/download a new one it will use the most recent copy it has.

Thanks for the info . . I launched Vortex OFFline and it works perfectly, except i had to watch 3 red nag boxes for a few seconds.
I was also able to change the:
"Settings -> Vortex -> Update" and select "No automatic update".

so perhaps NEXT time i launch Vortex OFFline i won't see those 3 red nags but most importantly it does SO work offline so far.

Thanks again,
Wayner
