Offline mode after update

After the update I can no longer use the Offline mode on steam any more. It keeps telling me there is no steam log in information but then when I open steam it logs in just fine on it's own so the log in information is there but it won't let me use it for offline mode. Anyone else having this problem?

I have the same problem. Fresh install of Steam on fresh install of OS.

Same issue with me, I've tried everything! Including fresh install of OS. I'm desperate for a fix as I use a laptop with little access to the Internet. I can play no games currently.!

Same here, since yesterday. But not fresh install of anything, no laptop neither.

I was offline since months, went on to grab Skyrim & CK 1.9 two days ago, everything was fine. Then since a restart of my computer yesterday, it's impossible to go offline anymore.

I hope this will be fixed soon. An official statement would also be appreciated.

Yes an official statement would be great at the very least. ive been trying since the update to find a fix and after trying every suggestion i can find its still not working. Just reinstalled everything this morning and yet again same problem, its something in the update that is causing this. I would suggest steam support but i got a reply from them last night and the moron who replied had just copied and pasted from the support articles even though my email to them clearly stated i had tried that fix several times. It looks like there is nothing we can do about this and steam don't seem to be bothered.

Sorry - it's "OUR FAULT" not theirs .... they have no answer ... just excuses and people that drink the kool-aid, "But STEAM is so wonderful...It has to be YOUR fault."

Yes I'm a bit frustrated - well more than .... because of STEAM. . o O ( sorry )

The one I'm trying to figure out, is that I was told - STEAM DID NOT DO AN UPDATE ... HUH?

Still nothing, week-end is coming, no Skyrim nor CK, just because of steam !

Even the Atari 2600 is better than this♥♥♥♥♥♥ because on an Atari 2600, you can play offline the game you BOUGHT !!!

Thanks SerfT, but i already signed in the beta, hoping it'll do something (how wrong) and all my games are fully updated ... so i guess i have no choice other than deleting all but steamapps and exe, and it's not even sure that it works ...♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!

If anyone at Steam is listening, I've had the same problem. Every time I try to open Steam when I do not have an internet connection available the program tells me that no Steam login information has been saved to my computer. For several years I've been using offline mode without any problems. This just started happening this past week. Thank you.
