@tintifaxl Yes but those cracked games only allow single player so intake it you don't want multiplayer

yea but with steam you need an online connection to go offline:rolleyes:

Only once, ever. :confused: Is that an insurmountable difficulty these days?

Actually if you start it up without an internet connection you can start it up in offline mode straight away ;)

No you don't. :cool:

A common problem when people don't know what steps are needed to play in offline mode:

You only ever need to connect ONCE to the Steam Network and do the following:

1. Enter in your CD key or what ever code that is required.
2. Have the game updated to it most current patch.
3. Ensure that your login details are saved on your PC via the Settings page.

From that point on you can physically unplug your net connection, open up Steam itself or run a Steam linked game from a desktop icon and you'll be presented with this:

You can now play in offline mode till your dying day.

Codex you are wasting your time, they won't listen!

Just sit back, relax and let the tin foil brigade gyrate themselves into a whirlpool of hysteria. I heard steam eats babies.

A glass of water. :P

half empty glass of concentrated hydrochloric acid.

Just because I´ve got a quite negative attitude today ... :cool:

Happy about steam
 

The only games I play on line that are not massive hosted ones are steam ones. And they have always worked great for me.

Actually I didn't like Steam too much, but I have come to the conclusion that it will have a very positive effect on sales amount and so players amount.
Better have plenty of full servers with Steam than the opposite.

Can't wait for the first 70+ player servers ...
