Make sure the game is set to only update when you launch it. Then you just have to take Steam offline before launching the game. That will prevent automatic updates.

I installed the patch, no mods. I started an advanced character on a new seed. Was laying benches down around the starting shrine, just outside the no-build perimeter.

After all I've read I was expecting a pack of rabid piranhas to shred me up shortly after logging in, no such luck.

In fact as I was laying benches down a greyling noticed me . I put down a bench right in front of me and it - Get this - walked around it and started hitting me.

I don't get it. What am I missing ?

Yeah it's broken. Hope for a fix soon.

On the other hand, maybe it's the right time for me to take down my first golem!

Stake walls and spikes never have a problem anymore and when I am in the field them cheap hog fences work wonders

You copy the game files of the version you were happy with to a location outside Steam and run that. A bit late of course if you have updated already but if you desperately want to roll back, you'll have to resort to a program called depot downloader.

They go after carts like it slept with their wife too.
That patch lobotomized those poor critters.

They'll attack anything destructible in their path. Note however that the AI seems too focused on structures now, but it's EA so I imagine the behavior will be adjusted further in the future.

Everyone is seeing it, and I figured this would happen when I saw the patch notes so I didn't install it. They tried to make the mobs bust through stuff to get to you instead of walking away, but ended up making them just attack structures all the time. Ugh.

I think the monsters are focusing too much on structures now. I kited a troll which suddenly turned away from me to attack a workbench allowing me to simply pepper it with arrows. So, if a troll is chasing you, drop a workbench.

I found this out in the plains. Build a workbench and put some walls around it, then draw over the fullings and climb a nearby rock. Fish in a barrel.
