Merlindad Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Make sure that you run your game at least once before you go offline. Even if it is just to quit moments later, just do so. Oh, and if you don't want to update remember to set your properties for Skyrim to not look for updates. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the info. I got the game to run offline after I accomplished what you stated. http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryAtrick Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hi Mike, been having exact same prob as you and many others by the sound of it. I DO believe I've found the answer: When connected to internet, go to Steam and click on 'Steam' in top left corner, then click 'Go Offline'. I just did and it works treat. Hence you have to use this for when you click start in offline mode when starting game, only there'll be no need for it. The game just starts. BINGO!! Hope it works for you, Good luck mate.

Brandy1123 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) I dislike STEAMypile for many reasons. This is among them. Many people think STEAMypile is wonderful. It's not. From what I know as my own personal testing is this. You need to have a legal copy of the game. (I don't care where you play, you need to have a legal copy of any media you use, period). Then you need to allow STEAMypile LET you load all the updates it tells you to take and how you must love them for it. After you launch the game (online) let it open up a save or new game, then close out the game. Goto your STEAMypile (spyware) main page and select "Start in Offline Mode". Then close out STEAMypile's page. At this point you can disconnect yourself from the internet. STEAMYpile serivce still needs to be running at this point. You must select start in offline mode at the querry window. If you don't, you will never be able to run the game until you again log into STEAMypile. If you want to play without intervention from STEAMypile , once you get the Skyrim game window (the small window where you can selecet game options, start game etc, you can tab out, kill STEAMypile services and let the game continue. You will get a "We hate you for not letting STEAMypile run" window, but it does not affect your game. It only slows down the initial game load by about 45 seconds while it throws a tantrum.
