For three past patches, I have not been able to play my game without updating. I have set the automatic update to Off. The first time around, I failed to go offline, which was the problem.

I worry about future patches, if there are to be any more, if I'll run into the very same questionable tactics. I use mods, and if I wish to wait to patch until the key mods I need to play the game I play are updated, I should be able to do so. Twice, using the workaround, has failed me.
