mlequi Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Right now I am in Indonesia, so can't download 150mb file from steam easily. (I know it's the new patch) However when I went online on steam to see achievements, it automatically updated the game. (Yes, it's my mistake not to turn off automatic updates) Right now have stopped downloading, but then again, the game cannot be played until I finished downloading. I have a backup of steamapps folder elsewhere which can be used easily, but when I replace the steamapps in steam folder with backup, the game does not start. I am able to download the patch, but it is the least thing I am going to do to play the game. Any suggestion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I believe you are stuck, from memory once the download starts it must be completed before you can play the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted December 17, 2011 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm afraid as far as I'm aware you'll have to complete the download. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlequi Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Okay, noted. I'll complete the download over three days, 50MB each. For those who can't afford internet, maybe reinstall steam will help I don't know and haven't tried though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poyns Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm afraid as far as I'm aware you'll have to complete the download. Dreadful. Please change this for the next version. And please add an option not to download or apply updates. People make thing using the editor which is then unusable through no fault of their own, negating hundreds of hours of work.

You cannot, if Steam starts updating a game it must be completed before the game can be played again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
