    Re: Steam down

    looks like its down as all their web servers are dead as well. This is the problem with Steam, if they fail all your games go with them.

    **edit**

    Looks like ther webservers are comeing back up but they are very very slow.

    Offline mode? I haven't had much time to play games over the last couple of years but back when I used to play CS all the time and steam first came out there was an offline mode. I don't see why it wouldn't still be there. Not that I remember exactly how it worked

    Re: Steam down

    I'm not sure all games allow it, but yes, for ones like HL2 if you can't connect after 60 seconds or however long you get to start in offline mode.

    Re: Steam down

    I'm starting to go off steam. I've never had a problem with it before, but now, however many times I set all my games as "Do NOT update content" (coz I don't like waiting for the updates, would rather play now and update at my leisure) for Portal, Ep2 and Audiosurf, it always reverts to default "Let me waste precious seconds of your life" setting.

    I think they're ruined Audiosurf as well, with the announcement at the front about today's artist, and the epilepsy warning. FFS, show us teh warning ONCE, on first play, then get rid of it. And put the todays artist thing somewhere discrete.

    I do like the comment boards, though. And users have ruined it to a degree by renaming some 52 minute opera as a 3 minute Nirvana song or something so they can get 1,000,000 points compared to everyone else's 20,000.

    Gripe over.
