I figured out that apart from the resources, even the license check is needing internet. Today, I tried to startup the program and my computer was not connected to the internet. It was continuously showing a message box "attempt 1", "attempt 2" and so on. It was continuing like this even after 5 minutes, and eventually when I connected to internet, it retrived the license info and started.
I would recommend to store the license key and a validation flag somewhere locally on the PC (eg., in the registry). On the first run, you can check the flag and see if the license has been validated, if yes, then save the flag and the license key in the registry. Subsequent program runs can be done without internet connection.
Hi JagiChan, I heard about this issue with downloading resources and activating the program without internet, and it's really annoying. So I've decided that internet will only be required the first time you install the program; after that, it won't be needed. Once I send the update, your program will update automatically and work! This will happen within one or two weeks!
Awesome. By the way, I encountered another bug. Today I got a Windows update (some hotfix). After update, the program lost its license and I had to request another key. Please check and if possible fix that too for the next update. Thanks.
