Luy22 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It says I am not connected to the internet whenever I try to play the single-player campaign, and wont allow me to log in. It says I am disconnected. Steam has the same problem. Anyone else have this problem or know what to do?

Iron Father Rik Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Have you tried the age-old tactic of turning it (DOW/Steam/Your PC) off and on again?

Gillyfish Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 What does your computer say? Does it think you are connected to the internet? One option could be that you may not be signed into Windows Live in the game. Check that out by clicking on the button at the top of the main screen. If that doesn't work, try checking to see that you are logged into Steam.

Idk what the problem is, since I obviously am online (as I am writing this). I'm totally stumped. Also tried restarting and reinstalling the game. Nothing.

Gillyfish Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Try asking Steam to connect, then enter the game. Windows Live have changed the user agreement recently, and this requires you to log in again. Try doing both of those. If neither works, contact Steam customer support and Windows Live support.

THQInsider Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 It sounds like Steam is in offline mode - if you start Steam while you have no internet connection it will ask if you want to start in Offline mode. They do this so you can still access your singleplayer content - though for some games it doesn't seem to work too well! B) To get Steam back online.. Double click the Steam icon from the taskbar to get the Steam window up - then from the options in the top left corner, pick 'Steam' and 'Go Online'. (If you were online and wanted to go offline, that option would be displayed there instead). It should then confirm with you that you want to go online, and that it needs Steam to restart.

Aqatone Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 The windows live integration into DoWII is possibly the worst thing since non sliced bread. The need to have you log in to an annoying service that very few like or tolerate. A dirty smear on an otherwise polished game.

Aqatone Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Do you have a firewall active or any anti virus's blocking your connection to the game?

Hubernator Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Sounds like a firewall blockage to me. Best thing to do I'd think was to check the router and the connection and see if steam has been blocked from gaining internet access.

straud13 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Log in to Windows live and click off all your microphone options. Then unplug your microphone. This will solve the issues. The Windows Live update broke DoW2.
