I am also having this problem and I am not very good at fixing this, surely the game should just work? Keep getting "You are not online" Even though I blatently am :/

I recently brought shootmania on steam, when it was installed I attempted to start the game and was faced with a screen saying "You are not online" And two options, one to connect, the other to stay offline, when I clicked connect it took me to the same screen, when I clicked stay offline ...
