Steam will offer to enable offline mode for you. Launch Steam and, instead of attempting to contact the Steam servers for a period of time and failing, it should immediately notice that the network connection is unavailable.

Your Internet connection will be disabled. Right-click the network adapter in use and select Disable to disable it. To view your network adapters, click Start, type Network Connections, and select View network connections. You can also disable the adapter completely in Windows. If you have an Ethernet cable plugged into your computer, unplug it. If your laptop has a hardware switch for Wi-Fi, disable it. To force Steam into offline mode, you can disable your network connection. However, in some cases – say, if your Internet connection isn’t working properly but you appear to be online - Steam may just display an error saying it’s unable to connect. If you didn’t perform the above steps, Steam should prompt you to enable offline mode if it can’t connect to Steam’s servers. If you’re performed these steps, Steam’s offline mode should now work without any problems until the next time you tell Steam to go online. Steam will launch in offline mode each time you use it until you manually re-enable online mode. When you’re ready to go offline, click the Steam menu and select Go Offline.Ĭlick the Restart in Offline Mode button and Steam will restart in offline mode – features like Steam’s server browser, friends, and achievements aren’t available offline. Often, when you start a game, it will need to perform a first-time setup process – this process must be performed while you’re online.

Launch each game you want to play offline at least once. If you see any sort of progress indicator next to a game’s name, you can’t play it offline – ensure each game you want to play is fully downloaded and updated before going offline. Next, go to your Library tab and ensure that each game you want to play offline is fully downloaded.
