    This type of warning message need the special task to remove such complicated messaged. Then you need to do opening registry.vdf file which is present inside the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/Steam/ URL path. Then open this file using the text editor. After that you need to search the “Offline” “1″ line in this file. If you found this line, then set it to the “Offline” “0″. Finally save the file and then start the Steam. I hope this will be work and problem is solved.

    The Offline Mode facility of the steam allocates the user to play this game not including the Steam Network. This will be allowed to play the game in the preset players of the game. Hence if you want to play this kind of games, then there is no need to every time set the option to the online mode. This option is helpful for the single-player games. Then use this option and avoid such message which is appear at the time of staring game.
