I cannot start any scenarios that have been loaded from the steam workshop in offline mode. Since I often don't have an internet connection this makes the steam workshop useless to me. BI claimed before that it should work ( https://twitter.com/bohemiainteract/status/507185448373190656 ) but it is definitely not working.

To reproduce:
This is the same with mods, you cannot launch any mods from steam workshop when not connected to the internet...
"This is the same with mods, you cannot launch any mods from steam workshop when not connected to the internet..."
You means it's not possible to play with mods (after they are downloaded) when there's no internet connection? Should be totally possible. What is the game error?
There is no error, it just says on the launcher waiting for initializing mod management. Bearing in mind I use the dev build... And windows 7.
Could you please upload Launcher log files?http://arma.jiripolasek.com/howtos.html

Ok, seems your missing a launcher dll. Could you please do verification of local data of arma 3? (via Steam->library->arma3->RB click->properties->local files tab->verify integrity of game cache). Thank you
The fix of verifying the game cache does not solve the scenario load problem that I am seeing. I uploaded my logs as 'Logs-scenarioloadproblem.zip'
I just encountered this issue in current stable build 1.64, when my connection to the internet failed.
I use stable build as secondary install, using game updater
When offline, Arma 3 allows you to run up to two different scenarios you are subscribed to that you have already download and used previously. They get little play icons next to them. Just two... any two you have previously used and downloaded... will work in offline mode. It remembers these two. Then Arma 3 says you need to be logged into Steam to play any others. Screwy. I have crazy GBs of these things already downloaded, but can't use them unless I'm online. If I go online in Steam, though, it wants to update Arma 3 past 2.08 legacy now and mess up the thermals on me, which I have to cancel to preserve the good thermals.
How to keep using 208 while staying online: Make the application manifest file in the steam folder for Arma 3 read-only. You can also turn off workshop updates in Steam settings. Pause the download, clear Steam cache. Viola! Start the launcher directly.
