Rasikko Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Lol, steam actually remembers that a game COULD be updated, and refuses to start it? What a bunch of assholes... You could try backupping your *.exe, let steam to it's worst, and then restore the backup.edit: it seems like you need to backup the libScePad.dll as well I set my steam to offline mode since the first announcement of this whole crap. Seems like that's the only way to be sure. Maybe that's why. I didn't set it to not-to-autoupdate until I leaned this was already on beta. Now it says Update Required. I'll try your suggestion, but won't steam re-update it when I try to play? Putting steam in offline mode prior to an update is the only way to keep a game from updating I find.. Eh no autoupdate has never truly worked for me. If you're like me and was caught with it online, well.. Beth games seem to be the only game where having steam online can be a problem.

babydiehard Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Set steam setting to "Only update this game when I launch it" and launch the game through F4SE.exe file. If you launching the game through steam or default laucher it will force update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukull90 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 no..launching the game through F4SE also opens Steam and depending on your settings, forces it to get updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revus Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hey, just tested this out. I was able to launch the game through F4SE after cancelling the download completely and setting the automatic updates to "Only update this game when I launch it" as mentioned before. However, it is important that you launch steam first, since running F4SE when steam hasn't started causes it to launch the game normally and trigger the update.

chillshock Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well, I didn't realize that fo4 was set to update. I guess I'm out of fallout4 gameplay now. :( DAMNIT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikr Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 @chillschock Can't provide links here (apparently) but you only need to find a couple of files to revert to 1.9.4. to fix your game. Go forth to the google machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
