I presume you had steam running as you posted this, in which case its likely you have no choice.

Final TW Game? I highly doubt it. The game still works well enough for most people, and I have heard nothing that leads me to believe sales have taken a huge hit. People leveled many of the same criticisms at RTW and M2TW, and however justfied they may have been, the fact remains most people still had alot of fun with those two games. The negative (over)reactions or typical of any PC release, especially a well known one. People expect games to work out of box perfectly, and the fact of the matter is, with a few exceptions, no complex PC or even console game has ever been able to do that.

Most people, including myself, are still having alot of fun with E:TW, and I fully expect continued ETW support by CA, and future relases (personally hoping they stay away from Shogun, my least favorite of the series, and return to Ancient Rome and Greece for some Trireme battles).

Not totally effective as Steam has a habit of resetting to auto all on its own.

If you only play SP I suggest my method:
- Set Steam to not start automatically on start-up in MSCONFIG - that way you actually have to start Steam yourself
- When I play I disconnect the internet modem, hit End it All to shut down all uneeded programs and then hit the Empire icon
- Steam will then start and give you the option to play in off-line mode.

This way YOU control when you do an update.
