If you need to downgrade UAD version after an update

[MDHansen]

Follow these steps to downgrade the game. Any version of the game is there through a manifest in the deposits. It's a simple 5min task. This is for spesific version numbers, and not just the general beta or live, or the old 1.4.4.1 branch.

• WIN+R to get the run command, add "steam://open/console"
• Look here for the manifest : https://steamdb.info/depot/1069661/manifests/ 
• Make sure you choose "Steam Console" above the Manifest list (will be purple if selected)
  
• Click the "copy" symbol to the right in the list on the version you want, sorted by latest on top, by date. It also clearly states the live or beta version. Check forums for version release dates
• ...in to the bottom of the console. Hit enter and wait, steam downloads stealthy and wont give a message before it's done
• Go to the folder adresse steam gives (should be somewhere in Program Files (x86)) and copy the content of that folder in to your UAD main folder (where the .exe is)
   
• Make sure to use the "only update when I launch it" function in Steam <right click game->properties->updates>. Then use a shortcut to the .exe from the game folder (f.ex. on your desktop) to run the game, so that steam doesn't update when you start the game)

Which one is 1.6.0.6 optx4?

Check dates and times. But should be number 2 from the top

Hi MD,

I've been looking but that appears to be Optx5.

I tried to roll back to the update on 10th of September - as when I previously used NAR, until this recent update that broke it, it wanted to do the update from the 12th.

Can you confirm the specific depot you use?


Cheers!

Ah yes. Forgot the beta on top. Optx5 was Wednesday and optx4 Tuesday. So Tuesday is the one you need.

Remember to play the game from a copy of the .exe (on your desktop f.ex.) and that the game only updates when you run it.

You need to make sure "Steam console" is selected, as in my screenshot attached. I was doing this wrong so don't worry!
