Some Steam services were working and some were not... apparently due to wide-spread power outages in the area. While I can certainly understand circumstances beyond Valve's control causing authentication and connection problems relative to Steam servers... what I can't understand is why my stand alone single player versions of Half-Life and Half-Life2 wouldn't work. These are legal versions of software running on my computer with no need of Valve intervention or authentication. Why should power problems on the other side of the country stop me from playing a single player computer game on my computer?

Also the Forums seem to be down. Is this a hack attack? Is there any way to play Steam games stand alone? I want to play but it won't work unless it sees steam. What do I do now? -- [ image001.jpg of type image/jpeg deleted ] -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
