@rotopenguin @r0k @schmaker no, just temporary deactivate network and start steam - offline mode. But there are some games that require permanent online, these will obviously not work. I played over months without a connection
Perhaps people prepped this when Steam was online before the current outage. Perhaps once Steam works again, people can prep for a future Steam outage.
@schmaker @rotopenguin yes, but you don't have to pass the login server *right now* (during an outage) if you follow those directions. (people don't seem to be understanding that.)
Incident Review

Based on the bug reports, it seems to be something to do with a WebSocket server somewhere going offline, I think.
