this problem occured when in offline and the dongle was not connected. i have to physically plug it in to go online. as to being offline, i have a usb dongle internet connection. i havent had the completing installation thing before nor did i see it go to more than 1%. I use avg free but it hasnt updated recently that i know of and hasnt caused any problems. As long as your computer is on it will constantly monitor that condition, and if it sees that you are online, it may try to auto update behind the scene, because that is how it works. No, Steam does not assume there is no internet. The solution would be to uncheck the ability to auto update in each steam game, or actually go offline with your computer and not just Steam. If all your games are enabled to auto check for updates, then that is a part of such monitoring even if you think that you are in offline mode. If one still maintains an online connection, why would they need to go into Steam in offline mode? There seems to still be a part of Steam running in the background at all times that monitors if you are online. When someone says they are playing in offline mode the default thought is that they have no internet connection. If you are still online but are just attempting to trick Steam into thinking you are not, this is a bug with Steam. Steam seems to operate on the fact that you are offline not just the game. I have seen where Steam knows that you are online, even if you shut down Steam to go in offline mode. If Steam does not go into proper offline mode, then yes it still thinks that it is online. Oh and there was no error codes, just the completing installation window which got to 0% or 1% offline and stuck there. so is it a steam problem? or a civ 5 update which i missed seeing about? but steam has verified itself each time afterwards and this is only time it has not run civ 5 when i asked.
I HAVE had issues with skyrim going to infinite loading screen or hanging and i have had to restart the laptop with steam and skyrim open and that was only way i could get out of skyrims full screen nothingness. My questions is, why is it messing around like this when i have touched NOTHING with my civ 5 install? the mods i have had for some time and nothing like this has happened before when i tried to start it. it went to 1% and stalled until i tried to play civ with steam in online mode, where it went through twice, from 0% to 100%. I just tried to play civ v offline and got a window come up Completing installation. i comment on mods that i have in steam when online but i dont play online, unless i need to update a mod. i only put steam and civ 5 online to download mods first of all.
