hi, if I make a rule to block the internet of GTA5.exe it does tell me saving failed but I would like to get the same result as if I would disconnect the Internet completely, which usually leads to being forced back to single player and going offline in R* social club menu. Do you know which other Program I need to block in order to get that result?
