Play Rome 2 offline? and Warning Memory? - Questions

[Sixer19]

I tried looking at the past threads but wasn’t able tofind what I was looking for.

I finally downloaded and installed Rome 2 even though I did a pre-order. I washaving a hard time downloading the game via steam. Steam keep losing internetconnection. Finally got it to work. I am little unsure if I like Steam at themoment.


1) I was wondering how to play the game offline? Looks like I have to sign onto steam and be on the internet to play the campaign map?

2) I was doing a historical battle and got a memory low warning when loadingthe battle. I have gtx 660 nvidia and 16 mb of ram. Is this not enough orsomething else in play here? The graphics setting was on Ultra.

Also, the game crashed on me during the battle and took me to the desktop.After the crash, I lowered the graphics setting. I am assuming I am on patch 3as steam updates automatically.

Thanks

I'm getting the "are you running Steam?" prompt when playing offline atm. Quite insane.

To play offline you got to sign into steam and then put steam in offline mode or if you have no internet connection and Rome 2 is fully installed then Steam should ask you to go into offline mode because no connection was found.

16MB of RAM defiantly isn't right... also there is different types of RAM you got VRAM which is video RAM and is what is found within your graphics card, and computer RAM which is found in your PC.

Rome 2 requires 512MB VRAM (1GB recommended) & 2GB Computer RAM (4GB Recommended)

EDIT: If you believe you got enough and the game is trying to downgrade it, you could use the "unlimited video memory" option in settings, but I only recommend that if you got a good amount of VRAM or playing on a lower setting where the game is not taxing your PC so much.

Sounds like your issue though may be lack of computer RAM but that's just a guess with lack of info, which means you would need more RAM.
