smr1957 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Heads up for everyone. Check your Steam account settings. I just purchased something from Steam and my saved payment info was gone, and I had to re-enter it. BUT, more importantly, update information for games was changed. Games set to only update on launch were still set for that, but also had the update info being overwritten by Steam, under the Downloads tab in Steam settings - which had updates changed to "Let Steam decide when to update" for games installed in Steam Library - and even though I had games set as exceptions, they still showed a pending download date - and I certainly DO NOT trust Steam to respect those exceptions. I had to change the global setting for games in my library to "Only update at game launch." I strongly suggest that everyone check their Steam settings and fix them as needed. IMPORTANT NOTE Upon checking the Manage Downloads page (accessed via the bottom of the Steam page), I observed that Steam had once again set a date to download updates for games, despite them being set to only update on launch and despite my changing the global parameters to only update on launch. So this needs to be checked on your end - Do NOT rely upon Steam to correctly apply changes. Just to re-emphasize, Ii you have pending downloads for games on your Steam "Manage Downloads" page, even if they were in the "Unscheduled" section, and you do not want them updated, you WILL need to check after launching Steam, as Steam may have reset them to a scheduled time for download and moved them to the "Up Next" section IN SPITE OF YOU SETTING THEM NOT TO, except upon launch.
