Steam has plenty of downsides, one is that I have to run it offline to avoid updates, which also basically means I have to avoid going online on steam at all until I'm sure all mods are updated since mods automatically update the moment I connect as far as I know.Īlso mods update one by one (whenever the author updates it obviously) which from experience almost always makes the updated mods incompatible with the previous patch and the non updated incompatible with the new patch, and since I want to keep my game and mods on previous patch until all mods are updated I find doing this outside a third party software which automatically wants to change my game files much easier.Īnd since you're nice enough to take your time to reply maybe you also could answer my question, is it possible to run a steam bought CSL copy without running it through steam? So whatever the patch, I could keep my working CSL game and custom content folders backup'd knowing it will always work independently from what happens on Steam.
