[TF2 SDK] Local Inventory won't load offline

[Bitl]

Kind of a small nitpick, but the SDK's local inventory system does not load any items even if the local loadout has been saved prior to the item server or the user's network going offline. The image was taken with the wifi turned off to simulate the item server going down.

EDIT: The items can be accessed on an offline network only if the client has been opened and has been connected to steam once before the network/item server goes offline. The title has been changed to the TF2 SDK as I feel this issue affects mods more than live TF2.

i think this is normal

it's normal for live TF2, but i think offline inventory loading would benefit mods in particular

and also, since the inventory saves locally, why not use the local inventory if the item server goes down?
