Request: Ability to start local private server without Internet access


  • I often travel and so I have no Internet, or limited Internet.  Even when I'm supposedly getting Internet while flying over an ocean, connections to Steam seldom work - I think the airlines block Steam or something due to the potential for high bandwidth connections.

    I'd love if I could start a local private server that would actually run even though I have no remote networking capabilities and I cannot login to Steam.

    I know it's probably a niche feature, but if it's easy to do, I'd appreciate it.  🙂

    You can start a local server without internet using the javascript packages... the problem is that the client login uses steam to authenticate you... so you can't log in into your server without internet.


  • Which obviously defeats the purpose of using it without Internet. Perhaps caching our log in info? I can imagine there might be a "hacking" solution to get round it. But on local servers...is that really an issue?
