Use your backup folder if anything goes wrong to restore your original save data. 3. launch the game with Steam Online and with a internet connection. You should automatically be signed in and load into your new save data. 3b. You will need to repeat the opposite process when you need to play offline.
Before the first loading screen, I get the following message: Activation requires an internet connection and you are in Steam offline mode. Your offline activation data could not be loaded. Please verify your internet connection and restart Grand Theft Auto V." I can fix this by quitting, loading the game in Online mode, quitting again, thenNo, you do not need to update GTA V if your going to play offline. But if it does come in contact with Wi-fi at any given time and you go to play the game. It will not let you play the game unless you update it. So if you don't want to update it I would suggest to keep the Wi-fi off.
