May 10May 10 It does says Steam must be running in order to connect to servers. Even if I was just going to play with bots, is there a way to not make it connect to steam when creating a server? Thank you

Turned off the Steam networking when creating a game just to be sure, but even if I did enable it the result is the same. Thank you Edited May 10May 10 by ComFarce additional context

Thank youSimply copy the files I provided to the folder containing the csso_win64.exe file. If the x64 version doesn't work, you can try the 32-bit version.

May 14May 14 I don't have any luck, i tried the steamclient_loader_x64 as the admin suggested, but it just crashes if I do run the executable the either win64/32 it doesn't really work, I can load up the menu just fine. but when it comes to just playing with some bots I really cannot play it saids something like it needs the steam must be running. It just might be my OS acting up or just a skill issue finding a solution.
May 22May 22 does this work for those files in gmod that need cssource to load? cuz i dont want to "get" it for it to not work for the sole purpose i was hoping for
