Bug report PS5..offline mode greyed out

[aceguy7]

OK so apparently if the PSN network is down or no internet there is a bug that does not let you play in offline mode...offline mode is greyed out... The fix was to turn off the network in ps5 settings then relaunch the game seems to fix the issue.

Also while playing in "offline mode" I was unable to name or rename my storage boxes. Don`t know if related to offline mode or not.

I just wanted to report a user from Reddit posted the same issue today about offline mode not allowing them to edit Signs or Storage Chests. They can lock or pass code the chest and unlock it. They have no internet so are in true offline mode in every sense of the word. They confirmed it was in issue in 1.1 and now in 1.2 still.

Playing your own game without being disturbed by people taking all loot, blocking your build, kiting zeds your way, testing new build ideas...
Or in case of topic starter: PSN down or ISP down.

To be fair, sofar there's not a lot of reason for me (or any other PS5 player I think) to play online as long as no dedicated servers are supported. You are too much depending on other peoples game times as it is now. Every time I joined another game it was only a shortlived session, ended by "lost connection" or a kind request to leave.
