Workaround for playing Customs/Shoreline/Reserve in Offline mode

(I'm hoping this doesn't violate Rule 7, I don't believe it does, but please delete this thread if so)
As most of us know, offline mode isn't working for the above maps (Reserve works for me but not Shoreline, but I've seen reports of all 3).

This allowed me to get into an offline raid:

– Have your "Network Connections" window open and ready (Control Panel -> Network Connections)
– Select broken map of choice
– Select offline/choose your options
– Alt-tab from the "Ready" screen and disable your NIC/Wifi (or whatever you're using to connect to the internet)
– Alt-tab back to the Ready screen and hit Ready

The game will load normally. I completed an offline raid on Customs just fine, but instead of extracting I Alt-F4'd and re-enabled my NIC, just in case, as I wasn't sure what would happen if I extracted without being connected. I re-enabled my NIC, fired the game back up, and my character was the same as I'd left it.

Just a heads up for anyone who enjoys running offline to test loadouts and such like myself.
