legitimately why the hell can i not choose to play a game without updating it on any console or steam or epic or probably anything but gogwhy is there no optionwhywhy do people spend 100 hours modding games just to have them all break when the game gets updated 3 days later?they dont even seem to know or care you can often if not usually just copy the game to another folder or something to keep it safe from being moddedthey just say fuck it im going to spend a bunch of time to mod a game and then have it break in a weekwhat even are we doing here
i love that every time i want to play a game, if i havent played it recently or left my console running to autoupdate and rape the SSD 24/7, i have to wait 5-20 minutes for an updateeven for every game that isnt even multiplayer or multiplayer centriclegitimately why
>>739020417because you'll run into a bug and shit and piss yourself before leaving a bad review, then everyone will mock you for complaining about something that has already been fixed
>>739020417Toxootransmosis moment
>>739020417Ah, I see you've tried to mod a Bethesda title. Here's why you shouldn't....
>>739020920yes and thats fair because games are released unfinished and riddled with gamebreaking bugs
>>739021770you are brown
>>739020417Because retards will bitch if they run into some bug.If it has no multiplayer I agree you should be able to play without updating, like just put up a warning or reminder and if the person doesn't want to update it's on them. Or allow people to set what version they want to play like Noita let's you do.
>>739020417because you're technologically illiterate? steam offers branches to play old versions of games and you can tell it not to update a game if you want.
>>739023187only on a minority of games
>>739020417if you know how2 use CLI you can request different old manifests to be downloaded.that's how i cheat in indie games that decide to implement anti-cheat measures. download an old release, cheat, transfer save.
>>739024387nice
>>739023187That's up to the devs. Most games don't offer the option to switch to prior versions directly. It's a pain in the ass having to go through steamdb to pick up older version IDs, pin those to the version you want, use the steam console to download them, edit files to make it think you're on the current version, then make certain files read only so steam doesn't change them. I had to go through that when Crapcom decided to add DRM to the DRM free version of monster hunter stories 2 I bought.
