有时，您只想安静地玩游戏。这是可以理解的。但是，当您打开Steam玩游戏时，您会看到您的个人资料将设置为Online。这可能会提示您的任意数量的朋友向您发送消息或邀请您加入游戏。
那么，您如何才能进入Steam并以隐身方式玩游戏呢？实际上有一个非常简单的方法可以做到这一点，通过改变您的在线状态，让您在Steam上显示为离线。以下是如何做到这一点，以及一些你应该知道的事情。
在 Steam 上将您的状态更改为离线(Change Your Status to Offline on Steam)
只要您需要更改您的状态，您就必须至少在线显示，因为在您启动Steam之前无法将自己设置为离线（除非您处于离线模式(Offline Mode)，如下所述）。启动Steam后，请按照以下步骤快速显示离线。
- 在右上角，点击好友(Friends)。
- 从下拉列表中，选择脱机(Offline)。
您会看到还有一些其他选项可供您选择以设置为您的状态。当您将状态设置为离线时，其他玩家将不会看到您在线，并且您将退出Steam社区。这意味着您无法向朋友发送消息或使用其他需要在线的功能。
还有另一个选项，称为Invisible，您也可以从中进行选择。这使您可以离线显示给其他人，但您仍然可以在Steam 社区(Steam community)中发送和接收消息、查看您的朋友列表或执行其他操作。因此，根据您是否想要真正离线，您可以选择其中任何一个，您仍然会显示为离线。
还有“离开”(Away)和“请勿打扰(Disturb)”选项。离开(Away)只是作为您不可用的消息，如果您在一定时间内不活动，您的状态会自动更改为此状态。
开启勿扰(Disturb)模式后，您将不会收到来自聊天或其他请求的通知。如果您正在流式传输或录制一些游戏，这可能是一个不错的选择。
将您的帐户切换到离线模式(Switching Your Account to Offline Mode)
简单地将您的帐户设置为在Steam(Steam)上离线显示与将您的帐户置于所谓的离线模式(Offline Mode)之间是有区别的。这使您可以在完全不连接到Steam网络的情况下玩您的Steam游戏。(Steam)因此，如果您想在无法访问任何社区方面的情况下玩Steam游戏，这可能是您正在寻找的选项。
在将您的帐户设置为离线模式(Offline Mode)之前，您需要确保您的所有游戏(games)都已完全更新。这样游戏就可以在离线模式(Offline Mode)下启动，而无需连接到Steam网络进行更新。您首先需要在在线时开始您的游戏，以确保不需要更新。
然后，前往Steam > Settings > Account并取消选择不要在此计算机上保存帐户凭据(Don’t save account credentials on this computer)。确保您的登录信息也设置为记住我的密码( Remember my password)。
然后按照以下步骤操作：
- 在Steam(Steam)窗口的右上角，前往Steam > Go Offline。
- 选择以离线模式重新启动以(Restart In Offline Mode)重新启动 Steam。
在离线(mes)模式下(Offline Mode)玩(playing ga)游戏时，您需要确保您玩的游戏不需要活动连接，否则它们将无法运行。您还需要定期重新上线以确保您的游戏得到更新。您可以像进入离线模式(Offline Mode)一样执行此操作：
- 在窗口的右上角，前往Steam > Go Online上线。
- 重新启动 Steam(Restart Steam)以重新联机并再次连接到Steam网络。
如果您愿意， 您也可以在离线模式下启动(Offline Mode)Steam ，而无需在Windows上打开程序。(Windows)
- 转到您的控制面板(Control Panel)，然后选择网络(Network)和Internet > Network Connections。
- 选择您的Wi-Fi或您用来连接互联网的任何设备。
- 在窗口顶部附近，选择禁用此网络设备(Disable this network device)。
- 启动蒸汽(Steam)。它会通知您无法连接到Steam的网络，并会为您提供在离线模式下启动(Offline Mode)Steam的选项。然后，您可以离线玩游戏。
(Offline Mode)如果您想在Steam上长时间离线，或者想在没有互联网连接的情况下玩游戏，离线模式是一个不错的选择。但是，不要将这两者混为一谈，因为它们的功能不同。
出现离线和离线模式(Appearing Offline and Offline Mode)
当您的状态仅显示为离线时，您仍将连接到Steam网络，并且您的游戏仍然可以更新。这对于您的游戏正常运行很重要。如果您处于离线模式(Offline Mode)并且需要更新游戏，您将无法玩它。
每次您可能想要使用其中一个时，都有优点和缺点。如果您处于离线状态，查看您状态的人会觉得您是离线的，但您仍会连接到Steam网络。但是，Steam社区将不可用。
大多数时候最好使用此功能，因为您的游戏仍然可以正常下载和更新。如果您是多人游戏的忠实粉丝，您仍然可以在离线时玩它们。您还可以轻松快速地将您的状态重新设置为在线状态，而无需重新启动Steam。
但是，如果您遇到有限的互联网连接或不在有任何互联网连接的地方，离线模式(Offline Mode)可以帮助您玩游戏。两种选择都有效，这取决于您想要什么样的体验。
How To Appear Offline On Steam
Sometimes, you just want to game in peace. It’s understandable. When you open Steam to play a game, though, you’ll see your profile will be set to Online. This may prompt any number of your friends to barrage you with messages or invites to join a game.
So, how can you get onto Steam and play your games incognito? There’s actually a really simple way to do this, by altering your Online status so that you appear Offline on Steam. Here’s how to do it, and some things you should know.
Change Your Status to Offline on Steam
You’ll have to appear online for at least as long as it takes you to change your status, as there’s no way to set yourself to offline before you launch Steam (unless you’re in Offline Mode, described below). Once you launch Steam, follow these steps to quickly appear offline.
- In the top-right corner, click on Friends.
- From the drop-down list, select Offline.
You’ll see that there are some other options you can choose from to set as your status. When you set your status to offline, other players won’t see you as online and you’ll be signed out of the Steam community. This means you can’t send messages to friends or use other features where you need to be online.
There’s another option, called Invisible, that you can also choose from. This allows you to appear offline to others, but you can still send and receive messages, see your friends list, or do other actions within the Steam community. So, depending on whether you want to truly be offline or not, you can choose either and you’ll still appear that offline.
There’s also the Away and Do Not Disturb options. Away simply acts as a message that you’re unavailable, and your status is changed to this automatically if you’ve been inactive for a certain amount of time.
When Do Not Disturb is on, you won’t receive notifications from chats or other requests. This can be a good option if you’re streaming or recording some gameplay.
Switching Your Account to Offline Mode
There is a difference between simply setting your account to appear offline on Steam, and putting your account into what is called Offline Mode. This allows you to play your Steam games without being connected to the Steam network at all. So if you want to play Steam games without having access to any of the community aspects, this may be the option you’re looking for.
Before setting your account to Offline Mode, you’ll want to make sure all your games are completely updated. This is so the game will be able to start in Offline Mode without needing to be connected to the Steam network for updates. You’ll want to start your games at first while you’re online to make sure no updates are needed.
Then, go to Steam > Settings > Account and unselect Don’t save account credentials on this computer. Make sure your log-in information is set to Remember my password as well.
Then follow these steps:
- In the upper right corner of the Steam window, go to Steam > Go Offline.
- Select Restart In Offline Mode to have Steam restart.
When playing games in Offline Mode, you’ll want to be sure the games you play don’t need an active connection, or they won’t work. You’ll also want to periodically go back online to make sure your games are updated. You can do this similarly to going into Offline Mode:
- In the upper right corner of the window, go to Steam > Go Online.
- Restart Steam in order to go back online and be connected to the Steam network again.
You can also launch Steam in Offline Mode without opening the program at all on Windows, if you wish to do so.
- Go to your Control Panel, and select Network and Internet > Network Connections.
- Select your Wi-Fi or whatever you are using to connect to your internet.
- Near the top of the window, select Disable this network device.
- Launch Steam. It’ll notify you that you can’t connect to Steam’s network, and will give you the option to start Steam in Offline Mode. Then, you can play your games offline.
Offline Mode is a good option if you want to appear offline on Steam for an extended period of time, or you want to play games without an internet connection. However, don’t get these two mixed up, because they don’t function the same way.
Appearing Offline and Offline Mode
When your status only appears offline, you’ll still be connected to the Steam network, and your games can still update. This is important for your games to work properly. If you’re in Offline Mode and a game needs to be updated, you won’t be able to play it.
There are pros and cons to each and times when you might want to use one over the other. If you’re appearing offline, you’ll seem that way to those who look at your status, but you’ll still be connected to the Steam network. However, the Steam community will be unavailable.
It’s better to use this feature most of the time, because your games can still download and update properly. If you’re a big fan of multiplayer games, you’ll still be able to play them while appearing offline too. You can also easily set your status back online quickly without having to restart Steam.
But, if you experience limited internet connection or aren’t in a place where you have any, Offline Mode can help you play your games anyway. Both options work, it’s just up to you what kind of experience you want.
