Go into Steam's Offline mode after updating, DS2 has an offline mode. ^-^
If you can't get that to work, skidrow (Bad Word) has it's own version up and I'm pretty sure it doesn't connect to steam servers. haha

yes skidrow is a bad word not only becouse they do *cough* bootlegs *cough* (not preaching about piracy.) its also a bad word in denmark. im not going to say the danish word becouse its a insult, our danish brethren can confirm it.

I suggest first purchasing a legitimate copy of DS2 for Multi-Player then torrenting a cracked version for Single-Player for use with a Trainer. That way you aren't really breaking the law as you legitimately own the game.
And you don't get banned from their servers for using a trainer(assuming one gets released)
Win/Win for both the player AND the dev.
Edit: I done this with many games I own on steam due to cheat protection in steam's version. EG: Realms of Ancient War (owned on steam but torrented version required for cheating purposes.

Purchasing a legit copy of a game does not legally entitle you to pirate it.
When you resort to software piracy you not only download the game but share it as well (it's the essence of P2P), which is still illegal.
Actually for US Citizens us law allows for the use of drm bypassing aka cracks if the drm in play prohibots the proper use of the software or device (for blu ray etc.) So if you own the game and say securom won't let you play do to having a dvd burner as a second disk drive. You may legally download and use a crack to play the game. The same would apply for offline play if you are unable to use the product in single player due to no internet.
However as this would technically be warez legal or not I will not comment further on this subject due to site rules. I also am way off the OP's intended subject so there is that too.
