It also refuses to launch the game unless you allow it to patch. Even tried it in offline mode; either you apply all available patches or you aren't allowed to play. All turning off auto-patching does it stop the game patching without your permission.

2) It automatically patches when it updates, so basically the 2nd never happens at all.
Never happens? It happens every time my steam game has updated since I don't have steam running unless I want to play the game tied to it.

3) Many on-line games demand the latest patch for the on-line aspect to work.
I know and understand that but the thing is I don't play MP and don't want to. My singleplayer game shouldn't be affected, it's bad practice. My other games allow SP to be played at any version and force an update if you try to launch MP.

So yes, it's a total non-issue provided I don't want to play my game. ~

I just want to play version 1.0 of my game in singleplayer because I feel that the patches break more than they fix. That's all. I could do it with any other title in my library but not this one because steam will not permit it. I always say that I shall be most happy to be proved wrong; tellingly no one has managed to offer a solution.
