PC From Dust now playable offline

The patch that enables From Dust to be played offline on PC has been released on Steam.

This is applied automatically when a Steam client is restarted.

The update, specifically, does two things:

• Title can be played in offline mode (no connection to the Internet is required after installing the patch)
• Save file is moved from the Uplay/Ubisoft server to the local machine

In other words, this patch removes the anti-piracy DRM element from From Dust. This required PC gamers to verify, online, their copy of From Dust every time they played.

Such a requirement punishes laptop gamers on aeroplanes or trains, or those with inconsistent or non-existent internet connections.
