Steam surprize

[xracer]

It had to be something that wasn't right with the way Steam do certain things. Started Steam in offline mode and played a little on a game. Then i went online which i really wish i shouldnt. Had forgotten to back up my Arma 3 Beta and also not set auto update to off. So the update process started of course. Then after a couple of % of download i read something about ppl getting lower fps in last update. So wanted to back up my beta before updating it. That can't be done since there is no cancel just pause. This is funny since the updates are kept separate until download is finished. Also when first entered update state you cant back up the allready non touched installed game. I tried altering the appmanifest.vcl file to different states, but Steam allways override it for the update part. Only way i managed to keep the old beta playable was that i manged to alter the vcl file so that the state of the game in offline mode got back to "Ready to play". I then backed up the installed beta and kept the vcl file with it.

Also ppl report that many times it doesnt work to turn off auto update, Steam still updates some games no matter. Anyway learned from that and will try and remember to back up straight after an update.
