You seems to be the only person who sees my posts, so maybe you could answer my question. What's the deal with the offline version? There used to be one with every new release, but now it's just "Glamour [v0.30]".
There was talk of him focussing almost exclusively on the Offline build some time back, owing to lots of people complaining about the lag in server response. Maybe that's it.

So there's no online version now?
There is. No links in the OP. You can get it here:

It's unclear whether it will be supported perpetually or will be abandoned at some point in favour of the offline client.

So, the links in the OP are the offline version, they just removed "offline" from the headline?

Btw, should I still disconnect from the internet when starting the game, like it's said in the OP, and what happens if I don't?

As of 0.29, by default, assume it's the offline version. The online version now has "-online" in the name.

If you're a $5+ patron and signed in to the client, then it will check for updates and download them if there are any when you start the game. If you're not a patron, whether or not you're connected to the internet is irrelevant as of now. That's for the offline client obviously. For the online client you need to be connected to the internet :p

Thanks. They should remove that notice in the OP:
"Glamour tries to download files after the start make sure you disconnect from the internet or block it via firewall!", then, I suppose.

Will have to double check but I believe that currently all "Fresh" updates are "Offline" Versions.

That, and also the "Saves are encrypted and won't work if shared, so please do not ask for save files!" line is completely outdated. Saves haven't been encrypted since 0.27 offline came out, and even before that, we had l8rdude's save editor which could decrypt saves.

There needs to be a more concerted effort to direct people to the FAQ which Ayrik Eyronphist actually keeps updated.

To get those removed you have click report on op and select other and fill in what you want changed.

I have already done this a few times. Mods won't remove the "Glamour tries to download files after the start make sure you disconnect from the internet or block it via firewall!" because it still tries to access the internet. I haven't heard back anything on why they haven't removed the encrypted saves part.
