Steam stuck in offline mode

[dfibno]

Hi,
I know a lot of people have been complaining about this today, but does anybody know a reason yet as to why steam has kept going into offline mode since the steam update? I've reinstalled a couple of times but it makes no difference. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!

Thasin, had the same problem today when I did install. Go into steam folder under programfiles and delete everything except the steam.exe and the steamappdata or other ( I forget the name of the folder. Didn't exist in mine, but help topic said not to delete it). Then shut down computer and after reboot, go into steam folder and double click on the steam.exe file and it will repatch and update. That allowed me to log in without that message.

To the people saying just click up in the corner and change it, they don't understand that this is a different issue where you can't even log in at all.

Click Steam > Settings
At the bottom, tick the "Don't save credentials" box. This will disable offline mode. Restart Steam and see if it works. If it does, try unticking it and see if that has resolved it.

I did that and this happened:

I still have the exact same problem and I have done everything you have done, including editing the registry, which didnt work because the offline mode was already set to 0. I am getting the error message still and cannot even open steam. This is getting kind of ridiculous.

Okay, so, Steam works for me now, but only sort of. Maybe this will work for you too.

What I did was I completely reinstalled Steam, which obviously uninstalled all of my games as well (at least my computer now has like twice the free space it had before, lol). Suddenly, it was working again! I rejoiced for a while!

Then when I woke up the next morning and rebooted my computer, it was locked in Offline Mode again, but this time I had zero access to any of my games before they were all uninstalled. Choosing to "Go Online" and all that stuff once again failed, BUT... if I clicked to log in as a different user (Steam > Change User), then re-signed in, suddenly it would work!

So now every single time I turn on my computer I need to boot up Steam, log out of Steam, and then log back in again in order for it to work. It's annoying and pretty messed up, but at least I can use Steam again!

Somebody is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with us. I couldnt get online or play in offline mode because of something. I can't explain it, I don't ordinarilly even play in online mode unless I coop. But This is what I did -

"Windows XP/Vista/7/8

Completely exit the Steam client.
Open the run dialogue by pressing windows key + r (you can also navigate here from the start menu by typing run).
Type steam://flushconfig then press enter. (If asked to allow this website to open a program, please click Allow or OK).
Restart your computer.
Now, launch Steam directly from the installation folder, not from a pre-existing shortcut (~C:\program files (x86)\Steam).
The Steam application will either appear as Steam or Steam.exe depending on whether your settings show file extensions.
"

I only had to run "steam://flushconfig" and hit enter for it to come up and Steam online mode came up. My library is there and my games are there. Aswell as alot of trial-period FTP crap I don't want.

Thaks to FrozenArrow...unless this is just hack/backdoor into my account and he can play online as me. Then it would suck.

Sometimes steam won't properly close and when you try to close and reopen to go online. If you are getting straight into steam without the login screen this is most likely the problem.
Check task manager to close steam and next time you open there should be a login screen, login and it should be in online if you are connected to internet,

Make sure Steam is up to date. I believe that was my problem. Click the Install Steam button from the Steam website and it will make sure you're all up to date.

Yea I have the same problem why?
