Any way to set the launcer to update the live game first?

For some reason if there's a PTS update and a live game update my launcher will always prioritise the PTS, so I have to wait for that to fully update (and usually restart the launcher after that) before it will update the actual game.

Is there any way to change that? I couldn't see anything in the settings but it seems completely backwards that it would prioritise the one that's second in the list and obviously likely to be a lower priority for most players most of the time, so I'm wondering if I've accidentally changed something at some point previously. Or even if not if there's a way to set it to update the live game first.

    Select PTS on the left, then click on the "Game Options" above the news. Choose "Settings" from the drop-down menu.

    In the "Auto Update" drop-down menu, choose "Never" and then click apply.

    Can you not cancel the update and then select to update live anymore? That's what I've had to do in the past. Thanks @Maitsukas for that tip also.

    I tried that, but it wouldn't let me cancel the update, only pause it. Then it told me it couldn't start updating the live game while the PTS update was paused and I had to finish that one first.

    Thanks. :) I've changed it, hopefully it will work now.
