    I am trying to issue an update to my game that includes SteamWorks implementation, but whenever I try and run the build version and load a scene that uses SteamManager.cs, the game closes immediately and Steam tries to install or launch the version I currently have on Steam, so I have no way to test my build. Is there something that I can do to prevent this? (I am using 2017.2.0, by the way)

    FOUND THE SOLUTION! I found this 1 year later but I got it and I have to share the info with future me/you guys.

    Paste your steam_appid.txt in the output folder for the build . This will override the game trying to get on steam!

    Just found this as well, thank you so much! Frustrating to have to do a build and upload it to the depot, shut down everything, relaunch Steam.... Thanks!

    Little late but the same thing should work on macOS.
