Steam not launching

Post by Ximmy »

All of a sudden. I am in offline mode due to no internet (except on my phone). I run in offline mode for weeks on end due to working away from home, but its now coming up with the message no logon information found on this computer. Anyone seen this before? I havent done any defragging or cleaning recently.
Cheers

I have seen this mentioned before, that if you have not logged into Steam for a while it will ask for your log-in again. Maybe that has happened here?
You can see our current work in progress and any recently completed on our wall at http://steamcommunity.com/id/rosgar/screenshots/ or on our Facebook group "Rosgar Scenarios" at https://www.facebook.com/groups/rosgar/

You can only go off-line if you've successfully connected to the Steam network and allowed it to locally store your username and password.
You need to have the circled box ticked to be able to then go off-line.

If you've already done this, have you perhaps cleared cookies and/or temporary internet files?

I believe that's more an 'urban myth' than fact, I've certainly had no bother staying off-line for prolonged periods.
