Also this.


Half that thread is people saying it's fine as long as you take steps while you're still online, the other half is people saying even after all those steps it still doesn't work. I'm in the latter group.


Bullshit. If you're offline and you're not in cached mode, you are indeed screwed until the next time you're able to get online to turn that off. The thread also suggests you uncheck the "remember password" box, which is good policy anyway. Beyond that, this works. Not a SINGLE PERSON says otherwise on there. Nobody quotes the two replies that solve the issue and then say, "I did that, no dice". A few people mention what I said, about unplugging or disabling the network connection.


Alright, still examining the thread, I see "EliteTemptation" reports he did what was requested and it failed. Since this happens to me every single day where my users tell me straight-forward directions don't work, I have to wonder if I sat down at your machine or his and unchecked "remember password" or verified the cached mode setting or unplugged the ethernet, if this would just work. I'd note anecdotally that I've now tried this on three steam accounts on three different machines, and cannot reproduce the magic "just doesn't work" issue.

                                "turn that off" = uncheck the not-cached mode checkbox. Confusing wording. NT by laudablepuss 04/15/2012, 10:45pm PDT NEW
