Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Yeah, it'll say "Quit Steam" or "Play Offline", and play offline 90% of the time works for me.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
It didn't use to work 99% of the time, it used to be you had to be online then switch to offline, but thats been fixed, iirc. I think now you still have to launch the game at least once to get it working offlin - that information may be out dated to now. But for those that do have the problem there is/was a solution that involves changing some of the steam .ini s. Its been a year+ since I needed it though, so I have no idea where it would be except maybe lingering somewhere on the steam forums.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
I believe you can say - owned?
So much this
No. Just - no. Paradox must learn players don't want ****ty 5$ DLCs. Songs are fine, mini-expansions are fine (although Paradox used to release full expansions for less...), but sprite packs and absurd one-off scenarios, something the modders provide just fine, should either be in game or called blatant cash grab -.-Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
To be fair, that's more a problem with really awful internet providers than Steam. Admittedly, being able to reconfigure steam's downloads would be nice.
Also, I'm reasonably certain that Steam only polices its online games. I've used cheat programs extensively in Just Cause 2 with no repercussions.
@Dishonored: I noticed that the game tracks never being seen at all, but I'm curious as to precisely what that changes.Last edited by shadow_archmagi; 2012-12-24 at 02:30 PM.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Odd. Because steam won't open in offline mode for me. If itt has that option and I click "open in offline mode" an error pops up that says "Unable to validate". I have to set it to offline mode when I'm online.
Although, that's not much of an issue. Since I'm on a laptop, I set it to offline mode whenever I'm traveling just in case theres no chance to connect to the internet.Last edited by Silverraptor; 2012-12-24 at 03:40 PM.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
I experience problems with offline mode only when I don't properly quit steam, such as letting my computer close it when I shut down. Validating files for offline play seems to be a normal part of steam closing itself.
And an a more festive note: I'd been waiting pretty much all year for Mass Effect 2 to go on sale! I wouldn't say it's the best christmas present I've gotten, but it's making me pretty happy!

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
So, my friend actually bought The War Z, and I can't help but laugh at him.
Though I think that the issue with the name and the copyright is typical bull**** major media companies messing about with copyright law.Last edited by TechnoScrabble; 2012-12-25 at 02:44 AM.

This is true, but then a bit later there was a trademark issue dragged up as well.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Steam sometimes acts up and doesn't recognise your PC, even though you already logged in and are actually using the Steam browser to... yeah, you get the picture. Something to do with different IPs or different configurations, I reckon, since I had that problem on and off some time back.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
I believe it is even possible to download a steam game, back it up on a flash drive and then install it on a computer that doesn't have internet, but I haven't tested it yet. Has anyone?

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
That only works for certain games. (Usually non-steamwork based games or old games which have been ported over to Steam. AI War is one such game.)
I haven't tried actually installing a game without connection though, but I am reasonably certain Steam needs an internet connection to verify the game files and download any that might be missing. Need to investigate this further.
