Counter Strike SOurce / Steam - Playing Offline
Ok, i thought it was a bit bad letting someone else use my pc, but whilst he has become an avid fan of computer games whilst using my pc,my room-mate (at uni) has prevented me from playing counterstrike source in the near future.
I created my own server and played against bots (on cs source) but when i came back today, the lad must have clicked the wrong button, and because we are connected via LAN (to the internet) and that the uni network is shockingly strick steam cannot connect.
Ok so i was playing it hunky dory offline, until my friend must have clicked play online or something, it was then unable to find the connection (to the net - due to blocked ports) and thus everytime i start up hl2, cs source and steam, it just comes up that offline mode has been disabled because there is no stored password.
How can i now play offline, i.e. so my password is stored, (can i somehow change something) as i have absolutely no access to the internet via any normal way (adsl etc) in any time soon!
Please help me, everything would be greatfully appreciated
Ian

If you can't get permission for hardlined broadband what about mobile broadband? Although you may well need to check that the ports you want aren't blocked before you sign up!

If you have a friend who can get online then do this.......
Install Steam, log into your account, do all the updates, exit from Steam, make the copy of the Clientregistry.blob file, start up and let it fall back into offline mode, make sure it all works, then exit again.
Then burn a CD of the install and take the CD to the remote computer and copy the install there

Haha, nice new thread.
An easier way of getting steam to allow offline mode again: Disconnect all access to the internet (turn off wireless card, unplug lan cable etc) and start steam up again and it will ask to go in offline mode. Works everytime for me
