That's what I did for a long time but it doesn't seem to work anymore after some of the latest patches

Disconnect your internet when starting Conquer.
Make sure to have a multiclient where you can run Conquer.exe directly.

1. Open your conquer folder and find conquer.exe

2. Make a shortcut to it.

3. Right click the shortcut and pick properties

4. In the Target box you should see something like "C:\Program Files\Conquer 2.0\Conquer.exe"

5. Add the word blacknull so it will look like this "C:\Program Files\Conquer 2.0\Conquer.exe" blacknull

6. Use the new shortcut to start your game. no more auto patch!
