steam always auto update my game on steam launch even though i set the "only update on GAME launch" setting to all my games.
forcing me to manually stop the update every time i start steam, obviously this is not a praiseworthy "feature" on a game distributor that receive a lot of praises lately. so since i have no plan on playing the game in near future, i decide to uninstall it so i don't have to manually cancel the unwanted auto update from steam. is this disappointing "feature" a sign that steam / valve is not as "honorable" as portrayed by most internet influencers?

Have you changed your global update settings to reflect your desire to only update games upon launching them?

Can't say I've had this issue before

I wish they had a pause all updates because it can slow me down quite a bit at time for single player games if my connection is slow.

This auto update has been part of Steam since it launched. It was one of the selling point for it.

Yeah they may want to rethink that, in the day and age these updates tend to be more unpopular.

I thought they did, in the "pause updates while playing" prompt.

How would that slow you down for single player games?

Anyways, there is a setting that you can use to prevent Steam from downloading anything while that particular game is open. I usually use it for MP games.

Edit: like Rangers suggested right above me too, as I can see now.

The download is only part of what's happening. Stuff is being written to disk, shoved into/out of RAM, and CPU is being used to decompress/decrypt the data. Especially if you don't have beefy hardware, it could definitely hit FPS.

Sounds more like a capacity problem to me. I've had the same and I've limited the amount of max incoming traffic in the Steam settings. No more problems for me.

Actually, with the much better, faster Internet speeds (on average) now than it was in year 2010 or even 2000, regular game updates are in the best shape than ever before! :) So, you got that backwards.

Obviously, if we compare usual Internet speeds from year 2000 and now in 2025, the difference is astounding.

Yeah that strategy could cut down on the amount of resources it is using and leave enough to be unnoticeable.
