I think the direct purchase version of XP only phones home to check authorization every once in a while, so it's more stable to launch when the Internet is down.Īnd finally, I already have a ton of games tied up with Steam. It's possible to launch games from Steam in offline mode, but that process can be a little flaky sometimes. You'll see fewer betas on Steam.Īnother reason is that my Internet service isn't the best, and occasionally goes down for short periods. They very seldom release any beta stinkers, and when they do, they're usually hot-fixed. Access to all the betas is also worthwhile, I think. This is the only civilian flight sim I use, so I have a strong interest in seeing them supported as much as possible. I buy new versions of XP direct from Laminar, for several reasons.įirst, as mentioned above, to support the developer.
