    First of all, I wish to thanks the developers for creating such good trainers. You are doing a great job.

    The issue what I have is the following: my Internet connection is sometimes extremely slow therefore I have obtained an offline key to be able to use all the trainers offline even though there is still a connection. It didn't cause any problems in the recent past. But with new trainers (Mass Effect Andromeda, Outlast 2, etc.) it's a different story. Every time I start a trainer it seems like it's trying to connect to the server despite an offline key is resting together with the trainer. Probably because of extremely slow Internet connection the trainer just won't start: Task Manager shows that the process is active but the trainer still doesn't show up. Killing the process and restarting the trainer doesn't always solve the problem. Only when Internet connection becomes more stable I'm able to launch the trainer.
    In the trainers FAQ it is written: "Note that offline keys only work when the network/internet connection is completely disabled/absent." Does it mean that any trainer will always try to connect to the server if a connection is detected (even if it's extremely slow and jammed) despite an offline key is obtained and is located in the trainer's folder? Can you help me to solve the problem so as I can start a trainer at any time? For the moment I'm using Windows 10 Home 64-bit Creators Update (version 1703). Thanks in advance.

    As you already quote the FAQ: Yes, whenever an internet connection is available the trainer tries to authenticate that way no matter how slow your connection is. You have to disable your network adapter to make the offline key work.

    Thank you for your reply, I understand that. I just don't get why a trainer tries to reach the server despite it can be authenticated with the offline key? I thought that the presence of the offline key automatically tells a trainer not to search the server. I understand that all new trainers are developed that way but can this logic be changed? This will make users' life much easier. It is my question to dear developers. Thanks.

    No, it won't be changed. Just block the trainer from accessing the internet via firewall rules and you can leave your internet connection enabled all the times and use the offline key.

    Thank you for your reply. I'll follow your advise. As soon as I don't use any third-party firewall I hope that native Windows firewall will be enough for this purpose. Cheers.
