- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Isn't there a way to disable automatic updates?
There is.... But let me tell you... I've had to restore my backups several times. Occasionally steam just will update it... It drives me nuts
Can't you start the game from the copy? You might have to manually set the Steam app ID, but that should be the easier way.
i cloud game and luckily there's back ups. but i boot the cloud, boot moonlight and click skse64... about 1.5 months skyrim will update. and its a pita. steam just be like that. it's honestly why i havent tried fo4 lately. i wanna bad.
What i did with Skyrim was setting the update option in steam to only update when i launch the game. But then only launch the game with the script extender.
