Well, thanks for the suggestion though that sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I like what few improvements they've made to the game since it came out (actually, they update a lot) ...it's just those events, you know?

But I did find a work-around... unfortunately it involves turning steam into "offline mode" which means all of the other features don't work either. Well... thank God those events don't last forever... because I can't say I've been a fan of even one. They just make it a little too "goofy" than a game like that should be, at least, in my opinion. Seems odd to force that on the player-base, most of whom are playing for the dying light experience and not ...whatever the hell that was ;) but yeah, thanks for the tip. I was not aware.

Regarding your Dying Light comment (just trying to help), you can actually download any version ever released of any game you own on Steam (google for a guide). It's not that straight-forward, but not very hard either.

:joy:

A kitty!!!
