Steam News announces the promised patch is now automatically available for From Dust to remove the requirement that the god game authenticate itself over the internet every time it's launched. The new version also moves saved game files out of the cloud and onto user's machines. Here are the patch notes

• Title can be played in offline mode (no connection to the Internet is required after installing the patch)
• Save file is moved from the Uplay/Ubisoft server to the local machine
