Rome II

No, I don't.

Maybe turn down the "AI behaving like a total sod" modifier so I can feel more like a man and turn the difficulty back up to normal.

What do you expect Gus, playing a faction who's name jumbled-up is "I Nice" ;D ;D ;D

[Gusington]

I think you just solved the problem!

Just noticed, I had another download, around 12mb.

I know this is a noob question, but is it worth backing up Steam games, and if so, does that allow you to play them off-line. I was kicked out of Steam earlier and could not get back in, although our internet connection was working fine.

Gah!  The game is still CTD'ing with the new patch!  :'( 

if it crashes on startup, Martok, I would try to do a clean reinstall if the verifying cache integrity option in STeam doesn't work.

The whomajigawhatnow?  :o  Please help a poor dumb Klingon understand.  (You can use small words with me; I won't be offended. ;) )

Right click on game. Click "delete local content". Once done, click on "install" and re download.
Once it's re downloaded try again. You have a left over mod/beta in there

dont worry solved

I'm not sure what the Steam "backup" option is supposed to accomplish but it certainly doesn't let you install your games independent of the Steam client. 


You're supposed to be able to play your Steam games in an Offline Mode but I wouldn't be surprised if that was as buggy as some other Steam client features.  It will also eventually require you to login again at some point anyway so you can't do it indefinitely.

[Gusington]

You are correct...well in my case anyway, Steam offline mode has never worked properly.

[bob48]

They really have got us by the short and curlies, ain't they.

[Gusington]

Most of the time Steam works aight. When it doesn't...

[bob48]

..its bloody frustrating. Take last night for example. Just after I downloaded the last Rome II patch, it kicked me out for no reason that I could see, and it took about an hour to get back on, saying 'No Internet Connection', yet Mrs.B was able to log on without any problem.

[Sir Slash]

Should we start calling them, Steam-ed At? Patch 9 won't let me load my vanilla Suebi saved games and only some of the earlier saves for other vanilla games. Very frustrating and who knows what's coming next with the Year of the Patches.

[Gusington]

What typically soils my knickers is a Steam update.
