Descriptive Problem Summary: Whenever I run from the source without access to the internet I've found that there is a long pause with the screen blank before the game opens; the amount of time suggests an ad should be playing but there is just black if I recall correctly.

Now, if I do it with internet access, but without being logged into the pager then I get an ad even when running from the source as a guest. I don't remember this happening a couple patches ago, but that was before I transferred to a new laptop with windows 8 instead of vista, and I had my password saved so I wasn't logging in as a guest. The second one is likely the difference.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:For issues one: 1: Open a project in DM. Anything you can run. 2: Keep your internet off and run from the source to see the first issue.

For issue two: 1: Open a project in DM. Anything you can run. 2: Don't open or login to pager, and don't have your password saved, then run from the source.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem: Unnecessary

Expected Results: To be able to avoid ads entirely when running from the source, no matter what.

Actual Results: Ads play during offline work, or when your account is unavailable for auto-log in.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time.
In other games? Not tested.
In other user accounts? Not tested.
On other computers? I think so, but not tested well enough.

When does the problem NOT occur? Having internet access prevents issue #1, and having your password saved should stop issue #2.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? I'm pretty sure it would occur in any version that utilizes the new pager. I'm using the latest 1195, for the record.

Workarounds: Don't work with Dream Maker while your internet is having an outage and make sure your password is saved? Haha

Neither of these are a big deal. It was two different, and very rare events that made me notice them. It's also tolerable, but it does get pretty annoying if you need to test little changes frequently.
