    The problem is the following:
    with steam offline, the menu continues to attempt to authenticate itself online.
    It's a problem, because every time you change the menu, you try to authenticate again, and it takes time (almost 1 minute) every time you try to authenticate.
    Ex: you are in practice, and you click ESC to return to the pits (menu), you wait again for authentication. If you now want to go to the settings menu, try to authenticate again, and we spend our lives doing this, which is annoying enough, at the beginning I would lose my patience and alt-f4 the game, because I still hadn't understood what was causing the problem. delay.

    I play offline, because I share the account(Steam) with my son. And because my interest is just to race, when I want and on the track I want, with the car I want.

    That does sound like a useful feature, something like during the new player creation they ask if you want the game to Authenticate your ID each time or not.
    But a simpler method for you, rather than waiting for DEVS to decide if that feature is useful, would be to just create a 2nd Steam account.

    The game should be able to request Steam for the online status and do it automatically.

    Good for you buddies. But i think i"ll wait a little longer for a new update maybe. If the problem persists, then i"ll revert to the old build. Cheers
