Resume DeathMatch 2 Offline Game Subject description: Resume DeathMatch 2 Offline Game |
|
Purchased HL2 a few years ago & got so frustrated trying to play a single player game in offline mode that did not bother to reinstall it on our new PC. Just remembered we had game & wanted to take another shot. Installed it yesterday & was able to play a game. Would like to resume that game tonite & cannot find that option. When we launch the game, it goes to a menu screen that has only 4 options:Find Server, Create Server, Options & Exit. Lockdown firewall to force Offline option, which seemed successful, but cannot get to the "Main Menu" as described in booklet...only to the above 4 choices. Game seems to be fully updated, Do Not Store info on this PC is unchecked. Can anyone tell us what is needed to have game launch bring us to the menu that has resume game or even start a new game on it?

For starters welcome to the forums.
I used to frequently play offline mode deathmatch due to a sketchy internet connection, but recently I haven't even been able to get to the option....I think something has changed in a recent update and now I don't know how I have a feeling there is a new method of accessing offline mode.

Hi,
Is the game you are talking about is "Half-Life 2: Deathmatch"?
This is a multiplayer mod of the single player game "Half-Life 2" and it does have only 4 choice in the menu, probably the one you started at the second time.
"Half-Life 2" is the game you are probably looking for (not Half-Life 2: Deathmatch).

Agreed. The offline option referred to playing Half Life 2 offline (and without having to connect to steam). Have a look at the Installed Games profile in your steam account. It should show Half Life 2 as ready (in which case double click it) or purchased, in which case download it.

Thank you to all who replied so quickly. You are wonderful. Really thought we had understood what we were reading, however, we were way off. Thanks to your clarity, we have now chosen the correct game & can finish. At some point, we may go online for the other game(s). But this is fun for us.
