    – If you have offline mode does not work, then play the game in online mode and turn off the Internet for the duration of the game after loading the game menu.

    – If you get a message when you log in to your account “Your account is currently being used on another computer” you need to close Steam, wait a few minutes and re-sign in to your account.

    

    – You can also be periodically thrown out of your account and write that “Your account information is outdated” to solve this problem, you need to restart Steam and enter your account password again. If you were thrown out while downloading the game, you can leave Steam as it is until the game loads to the end. After the full download, restart Steam.
