zambian Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 My internet connection was down for a few days and I could not access steam and therefore FM as a result. Is there anyway to play 2010 without having steam connected? I really really detest steam running in the background. I know in 2009 you had the option of at least closing after loading.

kerching Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I am asking a question rather then offering advice but can it be played from the disk instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if you haven't got one! like others have said, just run Steam in offline mode. I play FM on the train all the time, when you start it up it says something "can't find internet connection, do you want to play offline?" Just click yes and away you go...

Hearts1874 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I no this an old post, but when I press run in offline mode it comes up saying it can't because there's no Internet connection. Which I don't get because that's why I said run offline line mode. Does anyone no why it say that and how I can get it to play. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise no idea but try the steam forum.
