I am always seeing people asking FatShark for Solo Mode, and it always leads to nothing. No matter how many times people ask, “Why not?” all they are ever met with is silence. People want to say that they do not speak of it because of Malice, or they just don’t care. But while the second option is p…

To be fair they didn’t specify a year and we’re arguably still in a period which could be described as “shortly after December (2025)”, solo mode is right around the corner I’m sure…

Ah yes they clearly meant “shortly” on a geologic time scale. Ill be eager for solo mode some time in the early post-holocene epoch.

Okay but realistically speaking its also very likely that their first solution was done without taking into account consoles and intergration with other live services past steam

I mean yeah, obviously part of the reason could just be performance issues/incompatibility with consoles. Probably also combined with issues with bots and it not even lining up with the goals of the team for the game anyways. The first response in this topic was my more serious answer lol.

IMO… the issue is single player mode won’t be fun for 99% of players who would buy the game to play single player. The bots suck. Very few people who haven’t played the game yet would have fun playing with the bots we have. Trying to solve one of the puzzles while the bots defend you is a crap shoo…

About as likely as Anders de Geer tripping over a wire pulling the plug on the only PC in the office with the “ready to go” code for solo mode. About as likely as their CM just pulling a fast one to try and placate their audience on launch week. If only Chunky Carcharhiniformes would have said any…

I think the most likely explanation (and this has been posted several times before by others - apologies - I forget exactly who - but the point is this is not my idea, I just happen to think it’s the right one) is that Fat Shark has to pay for server instances that get spun up. Ultimately, it’s che…

[image] Treadstone71: Ultimately, it’s cheaper to pay for one server instance for four players than it is to pay for four server instances for one player. Refer to: Community Update #1: Pre-Order Beta Hotfix 1.0.6 We’ve been working on an option to play exclusively in Solo Mode, where yo…

Yes, but as soon as they do that, they lose control over the players character data which opens the door to game data alteration.

Interesting how that wasn’t a problem in their two previous games.
