Hello everyone.
I just purchuased the game and am trying to run it from my USB Stick. (the Win x 64 Zip-version)
The loading screen freezes at about 10-11% every time my PC is not connected to the internet.

I disabled the "check for Updates" etc option, but the only way to start the game properly is with an established internet connection.

Isn't this supposed to work without one?

The game should work without an internet connection, even if it is trying to check for updates. The check is also done after the loading process, so I don't think this is the issue.

Is running from the usb stick working on the same computer without internet connection? How long did you give it? Is it possible the loading takes longer than you are willing to wait? usb sticks are slower than hard drives.

Thx for the reply,

i waited for more than 20 minutes. With internet connection, the loading process does not take longer than 1 minute, even from the USB stick.

That's weird. I suppose posting the log file may help shed some light on the problem (see https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=7&t=3638 ).
