FF thinks Steam is in Offline mode.
 

I re-installed the game last night, and opened it today. Today I tried opening it, and I cannot connect to any servers because it believes I'm in offline mode.

I tried deleting the client registry blob file, twice, with Steam fully exited each time.

Is there something else that needs to be done? I'd like to return to this game after not having played it in far too long a time.

Thanks,
Aper

Someone help him get playing ff before he goes aper shit

Is this Fortress Forever specific? Is Steam itself in offline mode? Do other games have the same problem?

If not, the Steam forums/Steam support would be more helpful.

Actually, either way, this is a Steam issue. The version of the engine that FF is on has zero Steam integration on the mod side; all of that stuff is handled entirely by Valve.
