Empire Total War uses Steam Copyprotection? - Page 2

What's that?
Console games and gamers tend to not be as complex as PC games, due to limited buttons. Silly consoles.

I see your boycott starforce sig there, and I guess you also assume that steam invades your computer. Or is there some other reason that you would switch over?

Not only did you not read my post, if you knew anything about me from the 10K posts I've made on this board, you'd know I buy every damn game I play.

Still, no need for the comment that I edited out.

I disagree when he is implying something that is not true. It was accurate, though I won't make a war out of it.

At least something we agree on since the feeling is mutual.

Just a quick comment on this..
Unfortunately not every and all games are playable in offline mode, which imo stinks when you want to play while on the road or got no internet access for whatever reason.
So far, I got only one game (X3:Terran Conflict) over steam, and it will be likely the last for that very reason.

Well, you obviously can't play MP games without internet, but I don't think thats your problem.

What games do you have trouble with?

SUBMAN1 · 03-12-09, 09:07 PM

X3 that he mentions above is a single player game.

Indeed. I tried it.. pulled the network cable and started Steam in offline modus, and the game wont start.

Question , was it fully updated first? , I went to play Empire - Total war after I'd bought and installed it yesterday, and I couldn't play offline till I'd updated it.

Yes, it was. I started it first to see if there was an update, closed the game and steam and unplugged the cable.

I don't think your can start steam with the cable unconnected. Set it to offline mode first, then unplug and try.

I just tried ETW in offline mode and it works just fine.

You can. It will ask if you if you want to start in offline mode or cancel.

However, I did test some more just a few minutes ago, and now it works.

Strange technology, nowadays.
