Not sure about playtime, but no, you can't get achievements while offline in my experience.
Take a picture of your screen with a piece of paper with today's date written in permanent marker, obviously.

You can but it depends on the game.

Playtime won't be tracked offline. Achievements - its up to the individual game, some work offline, some don't.
I've had achievements tracked offline, but I'm not sure why when others say they haven't. Either it's on a game by game basis or it's something like you need to have played that game online at least once before it'll track achievements offline (which then sync when you go back online).

sorta late to the party, but excited for RE4. won't pre order though. i'll wait some days and see the port reaction.

The only game I've played offline that has achievements is The Walking Dead, and I didn't get any achievements while I did it. I had to play through the last episode again to get them ;~;
I suspect photoshop! Paint it directly on your monitor in Maybelline nail polish. I'll know if it's not Maybelline.
i seem to be the only person left with this problem, but offline mode is still hit-or-miss for me. after the "steam could not connect to the internet, retry/start in offline mode" option, i click start in offline mode, and it says "could not connect to the network" and closes.

Have you tried disabling your network completely?

There is only one way to play Dishonered : Full on murder simulator
yep. only way i got it working was to turn my network back on, wait a minute for steam itself to come back, let the client open and connect, THEN switch to offline mode.
obviously this wouldnt but an option if i really had no internet or if steam went down for an extended period
It's all about getting the name out their during their Kickstarter sequel.
We don't have nailpolisher in the house so you will have to take my word for it
Ticket closed :3

g2a seems fishy, why not get the bundlestars brutal bundle that contains Day One (and might even be the source) for only slightly more?
I have a hard time describing a site that would sell a game that will shortly become unplayable due to GFWL (Viva Pinata) as "reliable". If you were in the US instead of SG, I would send you my copy for the price of shipping.

Quick question guys as I'm freaking out...
I just got a random error while converting a file to another format and now my desktop folder is empty. My desktop has nothing but shortcut icons left. I had tons of work documents on my desktop... I'm running Windows 8.1.
Any ideas?

Man, I am really enjoying the pirate theme in AC IV. Are there other games on Steam I should look out for? For that matter, are there other 3rd person games that have a historical bent? I find myself really enjoying just wandering around.
Define "random error" and "converting a file"?
Also, check "This PC\Desktop" in windows explorer.
thanks for the reply guys! is Viva Pinata a steam game/code?
haha if it's the latter, you can probably send it to my friend/courier address lol
GFWL, hence the death in a few months.

I now own the whole Hitman collection on PC, can't wait to play some Contracts!
No unfortunately, that game never made it to Steam at all, so it's strictly a GFWL game, not a hybrid like Batman.
It's a great game, for all ages, which makes the whole situation more of a shame.
oh well guess not then. thanks for the offer HoosTrax!
was hoping to add it to Steam and maybe give it a try (since the game generated quite some buzz on release right)
The one with no music?

Ripping an .mp3 from an .avi for work. I got a "desktop error" window and then my screen flashed and everything on my desktop was gone. I restarted and then only shortcuts were there and my desktop folder was empty. Everything else on my PC is fine though.

That's fixed, they just pushed a patch out.
Ozgameshop is a fantastic place to shop at. That said, Viva Pinata might be unplayable in the near future due to GFWL.
Oh cool, didn't know they did that!

Ozgameshop is very legit. They are the "Australian" arm of 365 games (uk) and I've been purchasing from them for many years (albeit mostly physical games).
Their download store is actually worth a look for the occasional deal. http://www.ozgameshop.com/stores/email-codes ($40 Dark Souls 2 preorder)
Nice, voucher + playfire credit gave me a free game.
Sorry, no idea. Couldn't find anything similar to it either.
Were you ripping the mp3 to desktop and might the program have deleted it's "work dir" contents on crashing?

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Never got to fully play it since it ran like shit on Win8. Found a fix for it but I already uninstalled.

The 2nd and 3rd ones are better.

Yep. 2 is the one you want to play (and some like 3 which is the most polished)

I was ripping it to desktop. I don't know if it deleted the contents upon crashing but it sure looks that way... Ugh, I'm gonna be sick.

Same here, I'm really liking this Playfire credit thing.
I'm not sure what to think. $1 for Millenium 3, $2 for Millenium 1 & 2, $4 for Millenium 4... but the greenlight link is for Millenium 1-2-3-4-5 (full series). Is this going to be one of those things like Cognition where you can get some episodes from bundles but still end up having to pay full price to get the full thing?
