DepotDownloader VS modorganizer

There's also DepotDownloader that lets you download anything, including past version, from Steam https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader

I use this to download historical versions of a game to help with reverse engineering to archive dialogue trees from a game https://dialogue.destiny.report

heres a universal way for stuff on steam https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader this site is also useful needed to get the appid/depotid/manifestid https://steamdb.info/app/1887720/depots/ (manifest is found from clicking the depotid)

The same criteria as above also apply here, I.E. was this a change the devs made in the game or did they update something in the engine. Knowing what versions had working mixed input would be highly helpful. Both for figuring that out and fixing the issue, if it's fixable. You can download old versions of Steam games with Depot Downloader. That would allow for comparison with the current version. Which wouldn't be of much help in finding the change, but it would be useful for fixing it once found.

Download DepotDownloader 2.4.5 by clicking the .zip file in this link https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader/releases/tag/DepotDownloader_2.4.5 and extract the contents by right-clicking to the zip file to a folder preferably named depotdownloader-2.4.5.It should seem like this:Note that, DepotDownloader requires credentials of your Steam account in order to make connection with the Steam servers and download the Manifests of the game.Do so at your own risk.

This is a good idea and I was hopeful it would work, but when I tried it on my PC (using DepotDownloader, which I have a fair bit of experience with), it just returns an error message saying the manifest couldn't be downloaded. I tried a few other manifest IDs from the Proton 7 SteamDB page but they all returned the same error.

I have downloaded the older version using DepotDownloader, but Steam keeps trying to update it whenever I try to launch it.

Download the DepotDownloader here: https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader/releases

I'd grab the one from gog-games.to, I can't link directly as that's against the rules. It's compatible with MO2 (Mod Organizer 2) as well as having a version of skse64 (Skyrim Script Extender x64 available for it.

I’m not running OBSE by itself. I’m running it alongside Mod Organizer 2. This script will setup MO2 for you and set it so that Steam launches it automatically when you press play. Then, you’ll need to follow this doc to install OBSE alongside MO2. Hopefully that would setup all of your pathing correctly.

14) Quit protontricks, open a browser and download these. https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer/releases/download/v2.4.4/Mod.Organizer-2.4.4.7z

Try some of the solutions described here and here. Unfortunately because these games and tools were made for Windows, you'll often have to jump through extra hoops to get things to work.
