Your computer seems to be offline. We'll keep trying to connect.

I keep getting the annoying message ‘Your computer seems to be offline. We'll keep trying to connect.’ when I know 100% that my computer is not offline.

Hi @Beee@Shadowan, I've got an update from our developers, and they've acknowledged that this is a known issue.

However, there's no fix scheduled at the moment.

Sorry for the inconvenience.😔

Can we just get a toggle to permanently turn off the message in the app?

The internet on my pc is fine, it’s your detection of it that is broken. I don’t _really_ care if you fix the root cause, I just want the message to be turned off permanently in the desktop app.

Hi ​@thumpingferret201! Thank you for your message.

I’d suggest checking your audio quality settings in the app.

Make sure they match the quality of the content you've downloaded.

Sometimes mismatched settings can cause issues with playback.

Let me know if that helps!

Bad bot. You did not even read my comment or the thread.

The quality of my audio has nothing to do with deezer repeatedly saying “Your computer seems to be offline”. This is a bug with your network detection.

As a helpful assistant, you should file a ticket that the network detection is broken. As a short term fix, you should recommend an option to disable the broken “network connectivity” feature.

Hi ​@thumpingferret201! Indeed, the audio quality setting is related to a different error message.

But since the release of the most recent version 7.0.1 both issues were addressed.

Meaning that the message on top of the screen should be gone.

In addition, we've rolled out a Universal build for seamless compatibility on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs (just one DMG).

We’ve also resolved the title bar issue on Windows and improved the experience with downloaded content.

Hi and thanks for the response but, sadly, the issue persists…
I share with you this screenshot of the Windows desktop app that shows both the annoying message and the app version.So no it hasn’t been addressed yet.

Running version 7.0.1 and can confirm the problem still persist. First post was 4 years ago lol - “we're working on it”. Quite the task apparantly.

Hi ​@DrPoncho ​@werbungspam ​@metafaniel Thanks for your posts and sorry to hear that issue is not sorted yet for you.

Please try to record a video of the issue and share a screenshot of the Windows version and Deezer app version.

Hi ​@DrPoncho ​@werbungspam ​@metafaniel Thanks for your posts and sorry to hear that issue is not sorted yet for you.

Please try to record a video of the issue and share a screenshot of the Windows version and Deezer app version.

I’ve read the entire thread and at some point also a video capture was requested and it wasn’t shared, but screenshots were... As feedback, let me tell you this feels unnecessary at least… It is in fact outrageous and annoying, as some kind of bad joke having given enough evidence and the fact this issue has been around for so long worsens the feeling… If this is part of your procedure, please try to improve it and consider this feedback so users have a better support experience.

So, following your procedure I share with you the requested screenshot that shows my Windows 11 version and my Deezer desktop app version. I also attach a short video that shows the everyday Deezer behavior.

Please fix the problem as it annoys many users.

Thanks in advance.
