Steam Offline mode problems

Post by phil_4319 »

Hey!
I have problems to play games in offline mode. Since I don't have Internet on my Pc I can't play Online Games.

Well, I started steam as usual in Offline but then no games are listed. It says they cannot find any games and if I start them over folder :
Error! wrote:Setup file 'gameinfo.txt' doesn't exist in subdirectory 'hl2'. Check your -game parameter or VCONFIG setting.

Can't fix it by joining in online mode.

Xseba..? Or someone?...

I already connected with internet to change my name.

But maybe there was a update after this...

This is my worst problem... To get internet back.
