We were doing a presentation off site where there was no wifi available and it appears that the Oculus app wants there to be one. Has anyone else encountered this and have a workaround or solution. Seems silly for Oculus to require this just to start the app and run a local file through it.

Hmm, that really does sound silly. As far as I can recall, we never really required any active internet connection when we were on exhibitions, showcasing Enscape VR. Is there a particular warning or something you're receiving when you're offline and trying to use one of the standalones with VR?

Update - It turns out that even though the Oculus app says Offline, you still just minimize it and run the Enscape file for a demo.
Ah! That is good to hear.
Thanks for the update! -
Yep, coercing users into signing into your account just for the sake of signing in is indeed dumb as all hell.
We also did exhibition presentations (with rather shitty local wifi) with an Oculus setup. We found the Oculus app needs a internet connection at least for signing into your account. We ended creating a local wifi hotspot on a mobile phone, did the Oculus login, disconnected again and carried on with the presentation. ?
