Hi,
Steam has issued a fix in the beta client which will now let the workshop items be in offline mode (so no more copying to local folders required).
It will be available in the next Steam public release, however, it is already patched in the Steam beta client, so if you want to take advantage of the offline mode already, you can join their beta program already.
To join the Steam client beta, go to your Steam settings, in the Account section (which should be selected by default) there is a Beta participation area, click Change and in the list select Steam Beta Update. Steam will probably require you to restart it in order to install the beta version, do what it says.
Once installed, if you wish to use the offline mode, toggle it like you would normally do, launch the game normally and your workshop items which are already subscribed and installed should remain in the Content Manager just as it currently does when you are online.
PS: Strangely, I had a problem when launching the game after the update and I would get: "Failed to Contact Key Server", it is unlikely to happen for everybody, but if it does for you, I just followed the steps from the Steam support (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2204-OPGC-4862) to get it sorted out.
Problem Occurs After Updating Steam
If this problem occurred directly after a Steam update and the firewall is already disabled, please try this process:
1. Log out and exit Steam
2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Steam (the default location). If you have installed Steam to a different folder, please locate that folder now.
3. Rename the file "ClientRegistry.blob" to ClientRegistryOld.blob and then close the Steam folder
4. Launch Steam and login. Steam should update, re-create the file, and then you will be able to play
Cheers !
