Quick question about the Steam version

Recommended Posts

Unfortunately, one of the safeguards to prevent KOTOR 2 from being updated (and having TSLRCM being erased along with it) seems to have been removed whenever Steam got its new makeover. Is there a way to prevent the game from being updated now, or is it too late?

 

Sorry if this was already covered a few weeks/months ago, just wanted to make sure.

wait..what's wrong with the steam version? ohgodhowscrewedamI

To use TSLRCM, or mods in general, you have to turn off the Steam Updater for the game.

 

With the newest update, turning off the Updater was thought impossible...

From what I can tell this will not effect modding... Not without a new official version of Kotor coming out at any rate. 

 

According to a Valve Rep "Do not automatically update this game" toggle set the game to only check for updates on launch. It did not prevent updates for a very long time and modding has worked since then. They only changed the name- at least from what they've said. I've been running without changing anything since and haven't had a problem.

That's what I was thinking, updates on would only mean trouble if a new update were released, but that seems rather unlikely.

 

Unless there was some other reason beyond my capability, also possible, with you guys talkin of .wavs and modules and other fun things.

nevermind i found it but i am unable to find where to turn auto updates off, the three choices: are always keep up to date, only update this game when i launch it, and high priority always auto update this game before others.

 

how do i turn it off?

That's the point of this thread.  It's no longer possible to turn updates off, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter which setting you use (unless an official KotOR update is released, which is pretty unlikely). Mine is set to "always keep up to date" and I had no problems at all.
