after many attempts i finally got gta iv to work, however, as soon as i am trying to install an older patch, the game updates itself via steam, are there any way to prevent that nowadays? back in time you was able to choose never update..
the game works..but i need an older patch.

It's not possible anymore. Only thing you can do is add automatic updating to the time when your computer is turned off, as in during the night.

You'd be better off just using a pirated version I guess.
