This is starting to piss me off...
I can't get the offline mode to start. All it does is try to connect to Steam, even though it says it is offline ready. By clicking on Hijack's link it just brings up a Steam - Updating bar and unless I am connected, nothing happens.
This is the most stupid CP I have ever heard of or have seen! Valve and VU are going to get much crap over this methinks!
EDIT: It's working now. For some reason it'll only work if I have have the modem off as the PC is booting up. If I have it on at startup and turn it off to play the game, it won't work. I also found out that it is an error causing the crash, not my firewall. I read something about this at the Steam forums, all one needs to do is push enter a few times to complete the loading. I just wish I knew what was causing it and what the actual error is. HL2 won't minimize to find out...
Oh well, at least I can play now and haven't notice the level of stuttering that I did the first time I tried playing. Whether this is in due to the game being played offline, while before I was online I have no idea. Again thanks for all the help everyone!
