Problems with Offline Mode

A lot of times I run steam games liek Left 4 Dead or Counterstrike with no internet in offline mode. Recently whenever I attempt to run a game and choose "Run in Offline Mode", the game just says "Cannot connect to steam network try again later" and behind that pop-up is another message saying "Could not run game".

Anyway to fix this? Be a great help :D

I think what you are saying is a prob that i have had before...I think what causes it is when u disconnect your internet while steam is still open in online mode, then when you try open it when you not connected to the inernet it wont open..something to do with account info being deleted i think? So make sure you exit steam before you disconnect your PC from the net..Hope I helped!!

doubt you'll be able to do it anyway. Cause steam needs to connected to verify you're the only one using that copy of l4d. For example say you install l4d on your friends comp, he dosnt go online and is able to play it then you do the same ;) you'll both be playing the same copy. cause he wont be registered as even logging in. it used to work but i think steam got smart :p i used to play cz agianst bots without internet. but i doubt its even possible now havnt tried. Also im using l4d as an example. It should be the same for any game :p

Figured, tried checking steam, msot of the stuff says you need to Log in first, then restart in offline mode.

This is a pain in the butt when I'm somewhere with my laptop without connection :/

Oh well, thanks anyways Drifter :D

The most logical reason why your having this problem is because your running steam without no internet and thats why the connection is bad so you might have to relogin into steam with your internet connection on. hopefully that helps

Hi your problem might be just because of the internet connection.You need to login again in online mode and after that you exit from it and go offline so you may not get that mgs again..gud day
