Heiho I have a problem with settler 7: Everytime I try to start a game (no matter which type of game), the game tries to connect with the internet (Connection to a network is searched). I know that several german players had the same issue, but there is no soution to be found online, and unfortunately we havent fund a solution in the german forum. Its a bit hard to google the problem in egnlish since I dont know how the error is expressed accurately in English
After starting a session settler 7 is in the offline mode (a red spot, offline and the button 'connect' is shown on the upper left side in the start-menue), after beginning a game the error occures (Connection to a network is searched), after going back the the menue the display still shows the red spot and offline, but the button is on 'disconnect'). It seems that the programm itself doenst realize in which mode it is..
I installed the newest patch, put Uplay completely into its offline-mode, blocked the game with the firewall - nothing helps.
Now the odd thing is: if I try to play with an internet-connection, lower the firewall and everything and the game obviously realizes that its online.. the same error occures. Now we have a green spot, online and the button labled disonnect beeing displayed on the upper right corner, but the button itself doesnt react.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve that problem? I installed it again, started it as an admin, I manually pulled the plug to the internet, and have now no ideas left
It it helps, the game is run on a Win8 machine, with a Nvidia GeForce 710M and 8 GB Ram. Despite the network error it loads smoothly and pretty fast
