You just go to steamdb, grab the numbers for the version you want, go to steam console, download it, then replace the files. So not exactly dumb person easy, but pretty damn easy once you figure out how to do it. I’ve done it a bunch of times. It always works.
Okay well that’s an issue with your setup in general. It has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.
It’s not adding extra data. You’re replacing your game with an older version. If anything it’ll use less space since newer updates add more data usage to the game usually.
Also your slow Internet is an overall issue. Then you have an issue with downloading things in general. Again, irrelevant.
Yea. Fair enough. I mean it takes like 10 minutes of research and then it’s easy in my opinion. It’s subjective haha. The important thing is you can do it without needing any crazy workarounds.
Easy is relative. I’m pretty sure the easy way is if the game developer creates a separate “beta” branch. The other way is to turn off auto-update, manually download depos and extract them into the same folder essentially reinstalling the entire game with the updates you want and then putting them in the right steam folder. I personally wouldn’t call it easy. I’d say it’s tedious, prone to user error and unnecessarily time consuming.
It would be easy if Valve took their “beta” branch feature and expanded it to be an actual rollback.
I’m curious about your mods. I thumbed through the Nexus Mods page and couldn’t find anything that looked like it’d improve my experience after two vanilla playthroughs. Any suggestions?
The Sandevistan Mods, Autoloot and Damage Scaling was what I used to roll.
the Sandevistan one is stupid fun, I don’t remember which one is it (got it from some YouTube videos). You stop time, throw granades and knives, slice through baddies then you watch everything unfold when time restores.
The body mod isn’t exactly the one I used, but to give you an idea of the mods I liked using at least.
There was also a garage mod that allowed you to tune the vehicles in the game, and a mod that makes the legendary ping hack back to its superior form from the original release before they started changing things.
Nexus Mods hosts a bunch of horny mods, and there is a toggle for it to help get the clutter out of the way. I keep it on because I think some NSFW is gore related, and I might be interested in those if they are decent enough.

RiP all my fucking mods again
Thank god GOG allows you to turn off auto updates and/or do easy version rollbacks.
Steam allows easy roll backs as well fyi.
It does? I remember futzing around with it last year for RDR2 and it was kinda annoying.

Easy for you perhaps, but for Johnny NoThumbs and Timmy Fortnite, this would complicated
A simple GUI addition like GOG provides would be the most ideal
I completely agree.
This downloads the whole game. He hardest would be waiting for download to finish for me.
Huh? That sentence doesn’t make sense.
Yes it redownloads the whole game. Not a big deal.
I don’t have gigabit network or a lot of disk space.

Yeah, to me that files under “doable” and not “smooth and easy”, but everyone has a personal definition of those I guess.

Yeah, I would say “easy” means its achievable wiyhout leaving the launcher, and using only the mouse / menu system.

It’s why I’m putting off playing it again for a few years.
I’m over restarting the game again and again, konpeki plaza pls.
