IC. I was mainly pointing out that it depends what the game developers do with the options. GfWL in Dirt's case doesn't store any progress locally, so it doesn't compare and update online details, after connection has been re-established.

So it all depends on what the developers decide to do with a tool; limit/hamper offline enjoyment or improve online service and roaming freedom?
