I tried just tried to play Portal 2 for the first time in a couple of months, but I got the following error:
<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v299/estuans_interius/?action=view&current=portal2error.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/estuans_interius/portal2error.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
Can anyone help? I'd like to know what this means, and how to fix it.
I haven't altered any Portal 2 files, and other Valve games are working fine. Re-starting my computer didn't help. I bought the game through Steam, so I don't own the disc.
Thanks for any advice that's available
<b>:Edit:</b>
Fixed using the 'verify integrity of game cache' function. This is possibly the first time I've ever had a technical problem that was solved by reference to a troubleshooting FAQ.
This thread is now largely redundant.
However, I did have another Steam problem recently, with Steam itself rather than a game:
I was away on vacation and felt like playing some games. I had no internet, though, so I tried to activate Steam in offline mode. The error message? "Unable to perform this action in offline mode". Or words to that effect. Is there any way around this, or has Steam actually become a "you must have internets to play, no exceptions" deal? Either way, it seems pretty darn stupid that "offline mode" can't be activated while offline.
