Steam Validation Rejected

[Leysritt | アホイ!]

Hi. During my trips I have no good internet access but I tend to play L4D2 on offline mode on my laptop.

I don't know what changes happened but recently I can't start playing anymore via the "map mapname" command. Is there any way to fix this up?

not if you don't give more details.

What does the console log after the map mapname command

The ones in red state that "Unable to enumerate user's file" and "RejectConnection: loopback - STEAM validation rejected" respectively

Offline mode?
Use sv_lan 1, lan games dont validate steamid, should work for you.
