Is it still possible to host a CSGO lan party without internet access?
- Start steam in Offline-Mode (should be done automatically if you don't have Internet anyway).
- Make sure all of your computers are connected via LAN.
- In console type: map map.
- Kick the bots with the console command:
bot_kick all
. - Allow people to join via LAN on your server with the command:
sv_lan 1
(not sure if it is on1
or0
by default). - With the command
status
you can see details of your server (e.g. IP). - Your friends are able to join your server with the command
connect <IP>
.
Matter, that neither Achievements nor the EXP System are available off-line. Connecting should be also possible via the client (Community Server), but I don't have personal experience with that and heard that it is buggy.
Don't forget to allow CS:GO through the Firewall when the notification pops up.
