Steam offline mode.
« on: January 02, 2013, 08:44:33 AM »

I am attempting to play a few steam games now that i have no internet for the time being. But steam just says that i need to connect because it doesn't have any login details. Anyone that knows what i can do? This way worked for me yesterday, and i didn't have any internet yesterday either.

Offline mode is renowned for being broken, try to restart your pc and try again

Just checked that you aren't "logged on", there is a problem when steam thinks you already have logged on but you need to re enter the details, I think you can solve it but its somewhere in one f the directories, Im looking for the forum stuff now...

Aside from the fact that my computer doesn't have an built-in wifi card.

Actually, there is a way to run steam in offline mode w/o internet...
 Make a text file and put this in it:

 BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable
 ForceOfflineMode=enable

 Then save it as a .cfg file and put it to the folder with steam.exe...
 Might be a little annoying, but to play in online again, you have to
 move the file out of the folder... 
Try dat

Nope, that didn't work either. Says that i need to go online again to make it work since it didn't find any login details. Though it does have my login-name on me.
