What do you mean it didn't work?

It should (eventually) recognise you have no internet and go into offline mode, where it should be fine.

I believe you have to logon to Steam through an internet connection then set it to offline mode. I am not sure though.

It is eternally frustrating. You can theoretically play something like Portal in offline-mode, but every second time you boot up your PC it asks you to go online again. It tries connecting to steam.. doesn't... asks if you want offline mode... then tries connecting again!

I'm probably missing something though.

Theorically is for the Half Life 2 programers, Half Life 2 is a game, and have to work. Off line or on line. What´s that?

Steam is a good protection, but is looking for me like a joke, no sense in physical Logic.

You can play any Steam game offline (except multiplayer only games obviously.)

Yeah I believe it works, sequentially is more reliable, but the point is how it works. How they are selling it and how they are updating it. I know that have to get proportion, but we don´t have the same proportion when we buy it on a shop. and it can´t install Half life 2:episode one Disconnected (off line) for example. That´s not conclusive.

Do you know anyone who speaks English?

in order to play any steam game offline, you need to first boot up the game while you are logged in online. after that they should work in offline mode.

Half Life 2 did not work? Why? My advise goes to HF2 but, why do you want a game provided by steam offline? Steam is mostly for online gaming and chating, i don't see why offline but ok
