{{ii}} Restart Steam properly before accessing online mode again, as spoofing the online status can put the Steam client in a pseudo-offline/online mode where it is technically running in offline mode, but is still able to access certain online features (friends list, community, etc.) if an online connection is available.

    Back in 2018 Special K introduces a mode that spoofed online connectivity for Steam games which was enough to get this game running while offline. However due to changes within the Steam client itself this method is no longer possible as of 2022, and now a full circumvention of the DRM protection of the game is required to get it running while offline.
