Title: Steam Cloud opt-out? Post by: Azazel on June 17, 2010, 02:19:29 AM Just owndering if it's possible to opt-out of steam cloud "support" on individual steam installs? I've got steam on my work laptop, but it pretty much has to live in offline mode. When I bring it home now and then I like to sometimes add a new game or what have you, but the fucking steam cloud updates ruin my shit since I sometimes don't have time for them to finish their endless auto-updates
Title: Re: Steam Cloud opt-out? Post by: caladein on June 17, 2010, 02:56:50 AM There's no way to turn off Steam Cloud machine-wide, although most games I've seen have some way of turning it off.
Team Fortress 2 has the option at the bottom of Multiplayer -> Advanced. (I'd imagine HL2 would have a similar option somewhere.) Torchlight has a config file tweak (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=13533815#post13533815). Title: Re: Steam Cloud opt-out? Post by: Prospero on June 17, 2010, 09:55:28 AM Is it steam cloud that is biting you or product updates? I think you can turn off the latter from your Steam preferences. The Steam Cloud updates should be lightning quick; saved games and settings don't take that long to transfer. You can also stop any transfers inprogress.

Title: Re: Steam Cloud opt-out? Post by: caladein on July 02, 2010, 08:56:26 AM Progress! From the latest Steam patch:
Quote Added UI to disable Steam Cloud per-game and per-account.

Title: Re: Steam Cloud opt-out? Post by: caladein on July 02, 2010, 09:07:18 AM Just got the update this morning, so try a Steam -> Check for Steam Client Updates...
Title: Re: Steam Cloud opt-out? Post by: HaemishM on July 02, 2010, 09:11:51 AM Ah ha... after I closed Steam out, then it started an update.
