I did a search for "offline" figuring it might already have been mentioned, but I still didn't see this exact issue addressed. So here goes:

For months I've been playing HL2 no problem, online or off. Starting 2 days ago, I cannot play in offline mode. Two things are happening.

1) I get the steam dialogue informing me there's no network connection, and that I can either "retry" or play in "offline mode".

2) I select "Offline Mode".

3) I get an error stating that Steam cannot log into the account, and the application closes immediately.

OR the following happens:

1) I get the steam dialogue informing me there's no network connection, and I can either "retry or play in "Offline Mode"

2) I select "Offline mode".

3) Steam opens the main steam window.

4) I choose HL2 from the menu.

5) I get the message "This operation cannot be completed when steam is in offline mode."

I have NOT checked "Don't save account information on this computer".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
