Defold Editor Offline mode

[My English is bad]

Hi, there I am new :smiley:

I’m learning Defold and I realize that it takes a lot of connecting to the Internet for many things.

My current Internet is very bad and I need to somehow work offline. For me an offline mode would be very useful.

The following areas could be improved:

  • Optional background updates.
  • Optional plugin updates at project startup.

That’s all for now. Thank you :smiley:

Editor updates are downloaded in the background. We have in our backlog a task to make this optional and instead indicate that there is a new version and let the user decide when to download the update.

The editor will always update project dependencies at start. I think you can get around this by disabling internet completely when you start Defold. We should probably make the dependency update optional as well.

Feature requests such as the two above are best reported via Help->Report Issue or directly via GitHub issues: https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues

A button indicating that there is a new version appears whenever there is a new version, so just to be clear, a download happens in the background regardless of whether one presses this button or not?

When the button appears the update has already been downloaded. Which is bad.
