Don’t forget the changelog that reads something like:
- Fixed a number of bugs
Which, judging from the update size, makes you think the bugs are misnamed HD textures.
You guys are finding spare hours!?
I recently moved to a place with fiber and paid out the ass for gigabit. I just got a new game on Steam that was 130GB, and it downloaded in about 30-35 minutes. Insanity.
paid out the ass for gigabit
That’s an odd payment method tbh. Fiber isn’t available in my area yet so that may be the reason for the difference, but my isp just subtracts money from my bank account! There’s little to no ass involvement at all!
Yeah fiber so so good, I pay like $22 each month for 500 mbps. It’s a bit expensive so I don’t dare go for full gig
I once had a full gig fiber connection for free in my student apartment, it was glorious. Before that I had like 50 mbps so it’s hard to go back to that after the full gig
$22 has to be bundled with something like phone right? $22 for 500 is crazy cheap.
It’s cheap? Well call me ignorant or uninformed then.
But no it’s just the internet plan with a discount of $11 per month because my apartment complex has some deal with the internet provider.
When you’re already losing interest in gaming, there’s nothing worse than having to sit through long updates because you haven’t turned on your machine for a while.
On steam if you go into offline mode, then restart the client you can start a game without updating.
unless this changed in the last 2 years, steam detects if a game has an “update pending” so regardless if you go offline, if it detected there was an update it prevents the game from launching. I tried to get around my parents crap download with that trick and it failed.
Which is stupid! I want to play.
Well my Internet connection makes it a 3 Minute wait for 40 gigs.
But steam should stop the Update if I want to play
A workaround you can do is, before launching steam disconnect from the internet, then launch steam, when it launches it will say no connection and give an option to launch in offline mode, once offline mode is launched you can turn your internet back on. Just keep in mind steam also has to refresh your games every once and awhile as well so you have to go online at /some/ point or it won’t let you play the game offline anymore. Steam is super annoying in that matter.
