Stampler Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 create a steam.cfg file with the following text in the folder where you installed steam: ForceOfflineMode=enable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwfan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 create a steam.cfg file with the following text in the folder where you installed steam: ForceOfflineMode=enable Looks to me like he has a Mac, so there will be no install folder.

wwfan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 For the OP, the registry.vdf file is found in: Macintosh HD / User / [username] / Library / Application Support You open the file with Text Editor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarochelli Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks guys, I'm poor with stuff like this but I've pasted what you said next to ''language'' and ''english'', get back to you in a minute, such a frustrating problem! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarochelli Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Does it matter whether there's a space after "english" or anything? Or if there's a space between "language" and "english"? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBarochelli Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 "Registry" { "HKCU" { "Software" { "Valve" { "Steam" { "Language""english" ForceOfflineMode=enable } } } } That's a paste of my registry file btw, and the update nearly always stops at the 14k out of 40k mark, if that helps.

MBarochelli Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Cheers mate, about to try, here's what it looks like now: "Registry" { "HKCU" { "Software" { "Valve" { "Steam" { "Language" "english" ForceOfflineMode=Enable } } } } } Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarochelli Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 No luck with that either, stick with me mate, if you get it working I'll never forget it lol! Thanks for your help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwfan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Here's exactly what I did. 1: Copy my user files onto the desktop 2: Delete all other Library/Application Support files 3: Send Steam to trash 4: Reinstall Steam from Steam website download 5: Edit the registry as in post # 24 6: Paste user files into Library/Application Support 7: Start Steam (which fully updated) 8: Reinstall FM Might we worth looking at Console to see which errors you are getting when Steam tries to update. I was getting a total fail. However, sometimes it simply fails to download a few files, which you can add manually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarochelli Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Must have done it wrong (I didn't copy and paste the user files etc because I don't know how to and does that make a difference?) and then it didn't even begging to update then suddenly it did update (this times with 49k not 40?) then failed on 14, 580 again. This is pathetic ffs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarochelli Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Plus when I deleted the Steam file it did nothing and so I downloaded Steam from their website but it made no difference, thus I didn't re-instal FM, it just comes back again once I click on FM? I despair now, I really do, just ****ing work! Shouldn't have got to this point in the first place! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwfan Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I've looked further into that specific error report, and it might be that you need to restart your Mac after Step 3 in Post 26. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwfan Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Another option is to try and install as the root user: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528 However, if you try this, be sure to log out of root again. You DO NOT want to be running your Mac as a root user. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwfan Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 A third option would be to run a disk permissions fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim_Less Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 go to: /Users/$yourusername/Library/Application Support/Steam/ and locate registry.vdf The variable you need to set is Registry / HKCU / Software / Valve / Steam / Offline, which you set to "0".

elgreenio Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 go to:/Users/$yourusername/Library/Application Support/Steam/ and locate registry.vdf The variable you need to set is Registry / HKCU / Software / Valve / Steam / Offline, which you set to "0". there's also a config.vdf in the config folder, if you get errors after doing the above try with setting the firsttimerun to 0 in that config.vdf file. Absolutely nothing was working when my one screwed up (and on too many occasions it screws up btw, Steam's grasp on macs is poor) so I ripped it all out, couple of reboots and full re-install. Crashed with the usual needs to be online error a couple of times but evenutally got through and installed. Just a small matter of re-populating all my games now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBarochelli Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 the variable things is set to nothing on mine, it was originally like you said with ''1'' next to various things but now it's changed, it's as it was in post 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwfan Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 If none of the above has worked, then you'll have to contact Steam. I've run out of ideas. On a side note, I'm not impressed with the Mac coding on Steam. It's basically a Windows port, which explains why things don't work as well as they should.

rossonero11 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 the only thing I didn't try is uninstall/install steam because I've read that several people uninstalled/installed steam but the problem still exists and nothing changed.

It failed the first couple of times with wanting to be online but eventually worked after around 20mins of trying to install. Of course I then had to re-download FM (not sure if you can simply back them up before you uninstall and place back in the new steam folders instead of downloading, will probably be some related file somewhere i'd miss) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did the same as others who didn't uninstall the game but they just kept trying to update for 100s times untill one of their tries fininshes the update succesfully without deleting/editing/uninstalling any file, they just kept re-updating! I'm not sure if this is a logic/efficient way to do it though and to be honest, I don't have that luxury time to keep doing this as i can only play my game in the weekends. has anyone got a final solution other than what was posted here (thank to everyone though)? can anyone help me out? i really need to play the weekend just started...
