DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE

DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE

Xenoverse Offline Launcher!
I was a bit upset with having to shut my internet off every time I wanted to play the game because the servers were so wonky so I decided to create a batch script that launches the game in offline mode for me so I can skip the formalities of the spinning circle of death and just get on with my life.

This script will launch the game barring its connection to the internet forcing it into offline mode, after a short amount of time the script will revert any changes made so you can use the Online NPC's to go PvP or whatever and alert you with a BEEP before closing.

In the even you get disconnected from the servers for any reason just know it's actually the servers fault, although I've run into much less ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ disconnections using this route.

You can view specifics at this reddit thread (which has been downvotes to oblivion):

The instructions are quite simple;

Download file.

Run file. (Run as admin if you have UAC enabled.)

That's it!

Note: You must have steam running, but that goes without saying doesn't it?

Also for the sake of convenience;

Edit: For now since I don't use firewalls this only supports pc's that aren't running third-party firewall.

Edit 2: If you are running AVG firewall please test this and get back to me; https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-K22b_rKRM_WjRDUVB6c2FBWTA/view?usp=sharing

Edit 3: Confirmed! The above link to AVG version works with users of AVG firewall!

Or you can just put steam into offline mode. Do so many people really not know about this?

You could just have switched Steam to offline mode. Thats what I do.
✪ April O'Neil 9 Mar, 2015 @ 10:23am 
You can't switch steam from offline to online while the game is running, so you can't talk to people or invite friends. I could be wrong, but it didn't let me switch over when I did it.

At any rate I still find this more convenient since it's just one thing I have to press and then fugheddaboutit'. No alt tabs, no hassles.

The advantage of his method (or of disabling the network adapt and re-enabling it) is that you keep your steam online to invite friends or chat ;)

Does this work with firewalls that is not windows firewall. i see your using the netsh so i dont think it will.

I will test it out.

It does not as I don't think it's possible to toggle firewall exceptions for third-party programs via batch files. If you fnd a command I'll certainly create a revision for it!

Although this toggles windows firewall for you so I assume it would work either way.

Considerd i actaully could join the server and enter the multilobby, i would guess no. Does only work with Windows firewall..

This takes less than that and one entire button click. :/

If you can tell me the service linked to AVG's firewall i can create a revision that will pause the firewall service -> turn on windows firewall -> proceed with tasks -> turn off windows firewall and turn on AVG firewall service again. Should take all of 5 minutes and it should work.

UPDATE: Added a revision that SHOULD work for users with AVG firewall. If someone could test it out and get back to me that would be great.

Update: Tested and confirmed working on PC's with AVG Firewall installed.
