MSI GT 80 titan will not play games offline

[Badwizard]

Had my titan for a while, issues the entire time.
Sent it to msi because steam or gog.com w o uld not play games in offline mod. Sent it back. Fresh windows install. Worked great at home. Forst time I take it to work to use with no Internet. Exact same issues.

Do you have a main computer at home with the same steam account that steam is trying to stream the game from rather than actually installing the game?
On the laptop, go to Steam > Settings > In-Home Streaming > Uncheck the "Enable Streaming" checkbox > Click the OK button and then try installing a game and playing it when not connected to the internet.

If it's not connected to the internet, when you try to launch steam does steam say it's going to run in offlline mode?
Are you sure there's no network the laptop is trying to connect to at work, like maybe a public one or something? like have you tried disabling the wifi adapter?

 

[Badwizard]

yes it says the staring in offline mode
I even selected it to offline mode while online, since steam sometimes has issues with that.

ive turned off the wifi router. always the same.
slow when not connected to the internet... very odd isn't it.

steam and Gog.com
both say nothing is wrong on their end.

Specifically what games are you trying to play?

 

[Badwizard]

Stellaris, Mount and blade war band, napoleon Total war, Warhammer Total war, Banished, Xenonaughts, Battle fleet gothic, all on steam

on GoG.com Republic, Masters of Orion, Vampire the masquerade Redemption.

Hmm, what about... like running a graphics benchmark, with your internet offline: https://unigine.com/en/products/benchmarks/valley
Do you have any non steam or gog games that you can try?
Like GOG doesn't have DRM, so it not being online shouldn't matter to the games you play with it.
What if you go to GOG.Com, go to your library, and do a manual download and install not using GOG Galaxy?

hmmm that's a good idea. im taking it to MSI support in El Monte CA tomorrow morning. ive run it a few months ago. before I got it back from MSI for the first time.

no all my games are GoG and Steam.
