Steam Update Failing and cannot access Off-Line ??

[wiltshire_bee]

There was an apparent update on steam last night, since when I can no longer access the game. I cannot seem to connect to the steam server either to update, or switch to off-line mode as it says there is no user details on the laptop, yet I've played off-line most days as well as on-line. any ideas ?.

I think I'm having the same problem. I started FM13 up about 1 hr about but the game itself isn't starting, I'll click the icon on my desktop but nothing happens. so I've tried it through Steam and it comes up with the little 'Preparing to launch' message and again nothing happens. I've tried looking for an update on Steam and the SIG website but there's nothing on either.

I had problems too, but just restarted my laptop and all seems to be working fine now...

Mine suddenly worked. After abour 16 hours the update finally went through, but it deleted some FM13 files, so had to re-install via Steam and now all seems OK, but somethign in this steam update is corrupting the game. There's some helpful stuff over at SI Community Forum try this link if it helps they replied to my post with some options you guys could try also......good luck!! :- Sports Interactive Community

Have the same problem. Yesterday it worked perfectly right, but this morning I couldn't open steam anymore. It always says that my connection is not there, but my internet connection works perfectly.
