Steam offline mode stopped working after power outage

[TankError144]

So I've been out of internet on my PC for about 2 months now and as long as I can remember I've usually played games in offline mode. The issue that I am facing now is that while I was playing yesterday we had a sudden power outage, then after the power was restored steam wouldn't let me play offline. It would only ask to sign in, then say "cannot connect to the servers" which obviously duh, I haven't been online for months now. Any help would be great aside from suggesting a pirated api or something. Things I've tried so far are making a "steam.cfg" file with

 

"BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable

ForceOfflineMode=enable"

Setting the time back to see if it was some type of DRM time out 

 

And changing the "login users.vdf" script to "Wantsofflinemode' '0"

 

Honestly I'm at the end of my wits here.

as above say try loging again so you can play again offline , if you dont have internet service on your home try using one smartphone as a modem just to login

 

 

or try reinstaling  steam
