Yes. Yes we do. It's attempting to DL the art assets and renders it needs to diaplay anything one may fap to.
It also attempt to connect to the 'net because it uses Clloud Saves while offline. It's always been this way.
Using the O/L clients (for example; 0.21 free as opposed to 0.21 offline) results in some scenes being unattainable... Or worse.
The only two (and a iut) choices are:
1: Support DeepSilver
2: Wait for the Offline build to be released (which coincides with the $5 Patreon build release)
(2 and a half): Not play this game until a later date
If you're waiting for the offline build, wait for 1 - 2 days after the projected release. Then you'll know where there are bugs and that somebody at some point will have infrme Silver.
