maefire Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I own a copy of Skyrim, but loathe using Steam. I have a version that has been made to not connect to the steam cloud, so that I may better play the game without the darn quirks that Steam insists on pushing upon me. However, this also means that I have a rather *cough* old version of skyrim. Is there a place on the steam site, or the Bethesda site that will allow me to download and manually patch my game, or is the only solution to go and reconnect it with the Steam cloud? Either way, I have this feeling I am in for more work than its worth x.x EDIT: I'm caving in and going to a public wifi spot to just patch it with Steam. no more 'lazy' me. ((aka, I'm just going to reinstall Skyrim completely >.>;)) Edited February 2, 2012 by maefire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly want to know, because I want to get one of the mods working ,but the program I need to get the mod working says i need to update Skyrim -.-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndorilTheGreat Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If you have the Steam version, you will be able to update through Steam alone to the latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maefire Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 If you have the Steam version, you will be able to update through Steam alone to the latest version.except I made it so that it is standalone from Steam. I kind of dislike having to open steam to run my games, so I generally will mess with them a bit so that I won't need to open Steam to access them. Currently I am on a phone internet which is only 2g (slloowww), and even if I could get steam to recognize that I do indeed have internet, downloading it would take ages, compared to me going through the site and getting the patch and doing it manually.

I'm curious as to how you managed that. :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The discussion is now heading perilously close to the Piracy Shoals. Regardless of your connection difficulties, Steam is the only legitimate way to update the game. Topic Locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
