I've already looked on the main Steam forums. There's nothing that works.

How am I supposed to be able to play my games then? I can't access it offline, even.

No, this happened just recently, ever since Valve's adapting Steam to Linux.

Yeah started happening recently for me too. Luckily after many tries the update did install for me but it took over an hour as apposed to a few mins. And now that I have steam running the store/community pages are super slow. Weird because my internet is running at normal speed too.

Some time ago Steam was saying that it needs to be online to start in offline mode.

try deleting clientregistry.blob file in steam folder, when you delete that, steam is forced to reupdate on next start up (which creates a new clientregistry.blob). If this doesn't work... i guess reinstalling steam or waiting for a fix is the only solutions.

i hate that error, i had it some days ago, try backing up your steamapps folder, delete the steam folder, reinstall steam and put your steamapps folder again. that solved the problem for me

Some steps to try.
This should fix your problem.

I've already tried. I looked into it and I don't actually have the folders that thread talked about, so I can't do anything.

You aren't reading properly then:

And what you didn't understand was there was no listing for the offline option in the folder. Seriously.

When I open up a "Run" window by holding the Windows key on my keyboard, and pressing "r", then type "regedit" and start it, then navigate to the key posted about, this is what I get. I somehow think you're failing at navigating correctly, or aren't even starting up regedit.

Yeah, I know. Except there's not listing under for "Offline." I'm not acting stupid here. I'm being honest.
Oh, and I also actually tried making up a registry string for Offline. Know what happened? Nothing. Nothing changed. It's still the same error.

I had that on Linux once i signed in for the beta, go into the desktop Steam shortcut and add -clearbeta
At worse, uninstall and re-install it, remember to move your steamapps and userdata folder out to the desktop.

Sorry, I'm running on Windows 7. I tried, but couldn't see anything on the shortcut for inserting anything on Properties.

"Steam needs to be online to update. Please confirm your network connection and try again."
Anyone else got this thing recently since the new update? I can't access my account and library. :( Please help me...
Edit: Before anyone asks, yes, my internet connection is fine and has been fine all this time. This just happened the past couple days after the Linux update.
