how to cancel the update?

[Hakkix]

i dont want to update just to have the garbage modding drm in the game, id rather play solo instead. do i have to?

[CasePB]

You can't. If you want to play the game you are forced to update.

[DarkSide]

You can't.

[Hakkix]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There has to be a way around it, surely. A modded executable file maybe?

go offline when you play I assume would work.
Also should always put your games on "update when I launch it" instead of auto update,to avoid sneaky things like this

[Stumpy]

so installing select mods through fluffy mod manager still works, only RE Framework needs an update

[GerryWJH]

If u use REFramework related mod then just update to the latest REFramework Nightly on Github.

If you have not started downloading the update yet -- it is queued in the dl list or you wisely set the game to only update on launch before today -- you can do this.

Close Steam first.

In a text editor, open the file appmanifest_1446780.acf located in the Steam\steamapps\ folder (or SteamLibrary\steamapps\ folder) of the drive Rise is installed on. Under "AppState" in this file, change the number besides "StateFlags" to 4. Edit "buildid" number to 13235540. Then below this there is "1446781" under "InstalledDepots". Change "manifest" there to 8060856335387709364. Save and start Steam. This will work for now, until another update changes these IDs. So I suggest if you haven't to set the game update properties to "Only update this game when I launch it".
