Yeah, it's one of the most huge problem of steam. Likely for users, there is a possibility to turn off updates and play at old version, sitting offline. But there are games, where the main game process is going on servers, which need time to adapt to new version, like GTA, GarysMode. So, it can be sad, when you have some free hours, which you want to spend, playing game, but it doesn't work, because you have forgotten to turn off automatically updates. People, who buy games on sites, like https://www.cdkeysforgames.com/ , meets with this problem more often, than people, who buy games on Steam, because there is no notification about updates, during instalation of the game. Maybe anybody knows how another way of fixing of this problem?
