Oh, that DLL file removal sounds cool. It would be neat to rename the DLL, make a little daemon to rename the file to original name, open the game, run deamon in background while gaming, and then rename the file back to the fake name when the daemon detects that Steam closes. That way you can use the deamin to play online when you want and not have the offline check when you're offline.

Also, I was able to filter a lot of the queries with NextDNS if anyone is interested. The Steam trackers are shitty. They don't even suggest good stuff based in preferences either.
