How do you get a non-steam?

I heard about extracting the GCF files and such...

Also, I can't connect to Steam either, and many others can't either. I hear it's because the storms in Seattle.



Could be. Last I heard we still had about 600,000 people without power from Puget Sound Energy alone. There are a few other power carriers in the area that I'm aware of. I myself just got power an hour ago, about 45 minutes south of Seattle. Valve is 30 minutes NE of Seattle.

Steam is up, but purchases are still unavailable. Don't know when that will be fixed as some locations won't get power back for more than a week! I consider myself very fortunate with only 36 hours of black-out.

Due to technical difficulties, Steam purchases are currently disabled. The rest of the Steam service is operational. We apologize for any inconvenience.

a bit late but thought i'd reply. basically as long as you have logged in once before all i have to do is switch off my router and "lose"my internet connection then it comes up troubleshoot or start in offline mode. that should work.

if not your screwed.
