Already downloaded, how can I play without Steam

June 11, 2013 12:01:13 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums


I've already got 1.1 up and running, but whenever I launch the game, Steam launches. Is there a way to play in offline mode, so that Steam does not have to connect to the internet?

No, the game uses Steamworks and needs Steam to be running.

You can start Steam in offline mode and play from there.

LH is a "steamworks title"  so it's not possible to play without the client like with FE.

Steam has an offline mode, but it can be temperamental: the rules to follow are:

1) Always log out of steam manually. Don't trust windows to shut it down when you turn off your computer.

2) Create a text file called steam.cfg containing

BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable
ForceOfflineMode=enable

and place this in the steam main folder if steam fails to launch offline.
