MoldeFK15 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Steam updating my game has a few disadvantages as I use FMRTE and have Germany and Japan nt's active. However it seems that offline mode is the way to go. But I have heard on the grapevine that after a while Steam will require you to go online for verification??? Can anyone confim/deny this please? Basically an update can muck up my long term save as it affects the above. So if I have a long term save with steam offline, will Steam eventually require me to go 'online' at some point for verification, thus downloading the latest updates and ruin my save? ( on the assumption that the 'broken' "do not automatically update my game" option is still broken. Thankyou for any assistance in this matter.

Matt ex SEGA Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've run for months in offline and not been asked to go online. It should be a one-time only... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoldeFK15 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks for the reply Matt. If that is the case then I can hopefully start my long-tem save tomorrow. I had just seen a post earlier today by someone stating that it required you to go online after a period of time but if you have had no issues then that should be enough for me. Cheers. Also - is there any news of Steam fixing the "do not automatically update my game" error where it does update even when the option has been selected for it NOT to?

Matt ex SEGA Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Pleasure - happy to help. I wasn't aware of it to be honest so I'd have to dig in and see what they say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senak Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've had a few problems with the offline mode, not often but it's really annoying when it happens, it'll start by loading up and saying can't connect online do you want to go to offline mode, then it pops up you need to be online to do this, counter productive much?

milnerpoint Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I have a freind who played FM11 in offline mode for about 8 months with no issues at all, he has not internet so never ever changed it to online after the last FM11 patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Just off topic abit, is it possible for them to stop reminding me that I won't be connected to my friends and etc if I set it to offline? It's annoying they have to do it everytime I start my computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've got it in off-line mode and get no messages at all. I did faff about and turn all kinds of things off that looked unnecessary - might be worth going through all the menus in the Steam screen one last time.

It has been a while since I used that but I think that works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
