Can you install Company of Heroes offline?

Answer 1

Yes, you can install Company of Heroes offline, but there are a few conditions that need to be met depending on whether you are using a physical copy (disc) or a digital copy (via Steam or other platforms).

1. Physical Copy (Disc Version):

If you have the disc version of the game, you can install it directly from the disc without needing an internet connection.

Simply insert the disc into your PC, follow the installation prompts, and the game will install from the physical media.

Some older versions may require activation via an internet connection, but once activated, it can usually be played offline.

2. Digital Version (Steam or other platforms):

Steam Version: To install Company of Heroes from Steam, you’ll need to initially download it online. However, once downloaded and installed, you can enable Steam’s Offline Mode and play without an internet connection.

Steps to Enable Offline Mode:

Launch Steam while online and ensure Company of Heroes is fully downloaded and installed.

Open Steam, click on the Steam menu in the top left corner, and select Go Offline.

Steam will restart in offline mode, allowing you to play the game without internet access.

Other Digital Platforms: For platforms like GOG, which support DRM-free games, you can download the game and back it up. After installation, no internet is required for launching or playing the game.

If you plan to install the game offline, the physical copy is the easiest way to go, but with digital versions, you need at least one online session to download and install it initially.

Answer 2

You can't play Company of Heroes offline (if you have OP and ToV). Putting the CD in allows you to play offline, but doing so will take a long process.
