Post 7005 update cant play offline...

[MontyThrud]

Installed 7005 yesterday ran game, everything fine, ran the game today offline, all I get is Loading screen, please wait, zero over 45 fps and message list stating #1 No connection with authorization server. #2Your connection to master-server was temporarily lost. Check your internet connection.  repeating over and over.

Also ran Steam validation and it said could not validate 14 files(just redone now 1 file), re-acquiring files....?

Any help appreciated...MT

Thanks LukeFF, forgot to mention this only happens Offline, online all works fine, just that I'm offline only and can't spare the resources for online.

 

Also, went to TechFAQ which said "#2. Try clearing the contents of the folder C:\Program Files\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\updates"... I have IL2 on D drive and Steam has no Updates folder so can't send Updates Log...?
