Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / March 2005Steam switches back on to "Automatically update......."
Don't take my word for it. Try it out. Switch all your steam-f.cked games to "Do not automatically update this game". Wait a few days, next time they have any updates for the game in question, this game will switch back on to "Automatically update...."! This does not appear to be a bug! I want a reply from a valve employee on why this is happening? Why even bother giving users the option of choosing between the 2 options when eventually only one is given? Is it for 'show'? Just to pretend to give users this option to stay 'legal'? There are some serious legal issues here. But doing such things, you are seriously violating your end-user's privacy. I knew Valve is a M$ ball-licking company But I just found out that Valve is a far more worst company than M$ when it comes to privacy and respecting their users wishes. I mean come on! Switching the automatic updates back to 'on'? How despicable and pathetic can you people get? To e-mail, remove the obvious Hi... This is Gabe.... Yer an idiot who deserves extermination... Send in the clowns..... "By our efforts we have lit a fire as well; a fire in the minds of men. It warms those who feel its power. It burns those who fight its progress. And one day this untamed fire of freedom will reach the darkest corners of our world." Try asking Valve? You son of a blithering idiot. > Try asking Valve?

I'm pretty certain it's the one with Big Brother and the test tube babies at the start. Anyway, back on topic, the suggestion that the op should ask Valve seems like a good one. Maybe Valve do read this forum, but you're more likely to get a response from the Steam forums. Or even try mailing them direct. I've never seen Valve openly respond to a thread here, so it's probably a bit pointless demanding they do so now. A little while ago, someone posted here that this was fixed. Apparently not. But I agree with the op that a program should not change its settings behind your back. I would like this to be fixed in the next patch. Does anyone know if there is a place where you can submit bug reports and change requests etc to Valve?

I guess the steam forums would be a better place to start than random_usenet_group01 > I can never remember if 1984 is the one with the Savage Reservation, or > the one where the lovers are betrayed by the shop keeper.

Savage Reservation is from Brave New World by Alodous Huxley.

A day in a life of steam in my world: I wanna play CS, I click steam, it connects, I click play games, I double click on CS:S, 10 seconds later I am at the front end, 10 more, and I am in game.

Switch all your steam-f.cked games > to "Do not automatically update this game". Btw just checked my Condition Zero and various old HL installations Guess what? They still have this "Do not automatically update this game". option selected Been like this since I installed Steam on my laptop - that'll be mid december My HL2SP is now switched to "Do not automatically update this game". For five days now! Your old HL games probably don't need any updating. I've never seen any updates for them for quite some time. There might have been small updates, I probably missed them. 5 days is a relatively small time to wait for updates. I know you will eagerly post your results if HL2/CSS does not swtich back to automatic updates, but plz do not be one-sided. Do post your results too when it switches back to automatic updates. FYI, I'm not the only one who is reporting this issue. Here's a sample link: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.games.half-life/browse_thread/thread/9b0 ba647a70753a2/417b6af40bbd024f?q=steam+automatic+updates+group:*half-life*&rnum= 4#417b6af40bbd024f >> Don't take my word for it. >> Try it out.
