Empire: Total War Message Board  

Well i see that a lot of people are complaining about STEAM patching their game which is causing them not being able to use the trainer i decided to write a mini-tutorial on how to turn off steam from updating your game.

1. Double click on STEAM icon
2) Go to FILE and pick go offline

Now you can play all you want and update your game once CH updates the trainer with the latest patch.
Then simply turn STEAM back on-line, update your game and repeat....

Hope that helps!
Take care.

Sounds great, in theory, but the game will not allow you to play it "offline".

Yes it will...at least mine is letting me.
Well i mean single player YES but multilayer obviously NO.

Works offline for me. Thanks for the tip.

meh, I prefer a patched and stable game to a buggy game where i can haz lotz of moneh... ^_^

Seems that CA is using the steam feature to release patches as they go working on them. I think I will keep it offline for a while, and maybe in 6-7 patches (if they're going to keep this rythm) when caliber has had some time to rest update it again

By the way: what was changed in the new patch? The crashing issues reported by various users after patch#1?
