Pro-Tip!

Hey guys n gals, just a quick pro-tip on Empy that I picked up
last few weeks testing out beta versions pre-release: Disable
auto-updates on Empyrion - Make it update only when the game
starts option etc, or when you tell it to specifically.
That way when new releases are published, the version of
Empyrion does not update automatically (noob mistake/default
settintgs!) and create a situation where you cannot connect to
the server until the next day.
Empyrion devs are fantastic in that they release a LOT of
patches, and the updates/testing runs usually last about 1 week
no more, so this means it updates frequently "test often,
release often" mantra.
It makes a lot sense to disable auto-updates to Empyrion because
of this, unlike most of your other steam games which do not
update so frequently/have such awesome devs.
my2c.
Change the settings try it out then hate me if its not 1000%
better ;-)

I don't see how setting it to only update when you start the
game will help as the moment you started Empyrum, Steam will
update it and you cannot stop it. If the update is very new then
the Server will still be on the old version preventing you from
logging on. If you don't want Empyrum (and all your other games)
to auto-update then restrict auto-updating to a time period you
don't usually logon to Steam (in settings/downloads) and turn
off 'Allow downloads during Gameplay'.
