My internet conx went down. OK, I can play CloD in SP while it's being repaired or so I thought. But, you have to be connected to the Internet in order to toggle Steam into 'Offline' to launch CloD for SP......damn!

In future I am going to toggle Steam to 'Offline' every time I finish a MP session because Winter is coming and we get Broadband interruptions with lines down, etc.

Would be nice if you could select 'offline mode' without an internet connection.

gripe over........:evil:

I think it is possible to connect via Bluetooth or cable >> mobile phone >> Internet for a short session to switch it to offline mode.

To start Steam in Offline mode (PC) https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3160-AGCB-2555
1. Start Steam online - make sure the Remember my password box on the login window is checked
2. Verify that all game files are completely updated - you can see the update status for a game under the Library section (when the game shows as 100% - Ready it is ready to be played in Offline Mode)
3. Launch the game you would like to play offline to verify that there are no further updates to download - shut down the game and return to Steam once you have confirmed that the game can be played
4. Go to Steam > Settings to ensure the Don't save account credentials on this computer option is not selected
5. From the main Steam window, go to the Steam menu and select Go Offline

6. Click Restart in Offline Mode to restart Steam in Offline Mode

I unplugged my modem and started Steam and received this:

I guess since my copy of Steam and CloD are both up to date Offline mode is available (perhaps once you go into offline mode once you no longer have to be online to get to offline mode).
