Hi,
I was looking for some support on overcoming my problems with launching my games when offline. I frequently spend alot of time travelling without wifi access and like to play games in my downtime.
When I try to launch offline I get the attached errors, 1) gives me the option of "Start in Offline Mode".
Error 2 then says "could not connect to the Steam Network" and says it could be a problem with my internet connection (no - I'm trying to play offline) and to visit the website for details (is this a joke? I'm trying to play offline)
I have spent nearly 2 months grappling with the lame technical support at Steam.
I can confirm that:
- I have tried using Steam's offline mode (it took me over a week to get this top tip from Steam, AFTER I'd told them offline mode doesn't work...!!!)
- I have started the game at least once in online mode. In fact, I usually start the game online, with my wifi in the background at home.
- All updates are downloaded
- My games work fine with an internet connection live.
- My games work if I boot with a connection, but switch to offline mode.
My problem comes when I have no connection present to start with in the session.
Put simply, "offline mode" doesn't work and just tells me I have no internet.
Any help greatly appreciated. If I have to go through Steam's lame support one more time I think I'm going to redefine corporate manslaughter.
