BG2 EE 2.6, Steam updates the game automaticaly Options

[Badgerlad]

Heya all,

Just a warning if you happen to play on steam. Beamdog just launched a new update for BG2 EE, and there is no way to prevent steam from updating it, unless you go to properties>update and choose "only update the game when I launch it" and disable your internet connection while playing...

I'm so pissed you can't properly prevent updates...

Is there any solution to fix that, as in making IA viable with BG2 EE 2.6 simply ? Dunno what it takes.


Edit : Nevermind, I was just stopping not to make a shortcut to avoid steam-shit to launch anytime I play. Careful with their auto-update if you do though

Open up the game's properties in Steam, go to the "betas" tab and select version 2.5

On a more general note, no, I doubt that IA (and many other mods) would just work on 2.6 without adjustments. I'll go through the changelog more thoroughly later and decide whether IAv7 would be compatible with 2.6, depending on the amount compatibility changes required.

Yeah, did that of course, but if you play on steam, it auto-updates to latest version, no way to hold on a beta it seems.
But doing so and launching the game from shortcut and not from steam definitely does the trick.
