[How-To] Download and Install Older Versions of GD [Steam-Only]

anchor4

K… that took a bit longer to do than I thought :laughing: :smirk: primarily because I also needed to get the layout for this reply setup properly and organized, including testing each different manifest ID in turn to make sure everything functioned as expected.

Here’s the rundown: Everything is set for v1.1.2.5 - which is still v1.1.2.0 plus its subsequent hotfixes.

Be SURE you follow the guide in the OP if you haven’t yet. If you do or have then you should know what ya gotta do with the below provided info. You will need to do each download in succession if you also want Crucible, AoM, and FG content as well.

  • NOTE: If you followed the guide and backed up and/or moved your local install folder out of the way to allow the game to create a new folder (as well you most likely should) then there is the possibility that after attempting to launch the game it will simply crash. This will be because the game seems to utterly FAIL to produce a proper options.txt file that it can use for some unknown reason.

    The solution to that is to simply slot in a known working options.txt file. Here is one if you need it:

    options.txt (2.2 KB)

    You may need to change the resolution in the file to match your resolution. Mine is 1920 1080.
