I will be putting any user requested build info in this post for the time being.
v1.1.2.5
v1.1.9.1
v1.1.9.2
v1.1.9.3
I created a DepotDownloader front-end to make downloading builds via DD even easier.
I created a section for the tool in the OP up top.
Stream-lined some odds and ends and fixed a bug or two. The meat of the update, however, is that I added the ability to save your Custom input data so that you can instantly load it up in the future. It remembers the Folder Name you set for it along with the App, Depot, and Manifest ID’s and loads them into the input fields for you when the saved item is selected from the dropdown.
After that all that’s left is to hit Download and get on with it.
As usual, get it up top.
Now that I have my tool complete (or complete enough) I will probably resume adding more GD build info to the thread again before long, which of course will be added to _dd_switcher in turn. Part of the reason I decided to build it was to make it a little easier on me collecting, testing, and saving the information. The side bonus is that it helps anyone else wanting to download their own stuff as well.
It should be noted, for people who aren’t sure what the “Custom” section of the tool means, it’s simple - it allows you to add (and now save) the input for any games you own on Steam (not just GD), and rapidly get to downloading their older builds at your leisure.
This gives it much greater use beyond being just a “GD” tool.
Man. I love the tool you added! However I can’t help but call the app the “GDDD” (Grim Dawn Depot Downloader).
Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for the guide. Helped with having to revert back to 1.1.9.3 since the new GD update messed up GI! Lol
Glad ya like and find it useful. Haven’t been doing much with it lately as it is kinda niche overall but mainly I’ve been busy with a new job, twin toddlers and a newborn son 
. I do still want to finish expanding the build list (and my own tool) to include every major build ever released but finding time has been a little hard lately lol.
You’re the first to comment that you’ve actually used it so I guess it makes the hours I sunk into it all worth it now 
. If you notice any bugs or issues please let me know - I tested it fairly well while making it but you never know. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Really? O.o
This guide is being shared today on the GrimInternals megapost for the exact reason I mentioned about! Lol
Here is a link:
Yup I know… I tend to read most everything that gets posted on the forum and I certainly keep an eye on the GI thread.
As for the “use” of it… there might be others but you’re the first to comment on my own tool, so congrats 
Ahh. Yeah. It DEF was needed! I can’t even play the game without GI so your tool made it very straight forward and easy. Pretty much was plug-and-play.
To be honest I’d have focused more on your tool then the actual CMD aspects. I found NO issues with the tool.
Like I said man. GG!
Oh. And btw - I made my profile on this site JUST to comment on your tool. 99.9% of the time I’m lurking to get my GI and Grim Tool updates! Lol
I felt I had to throw out that name (I legit renamed my copy of it to GDDD. LOL!).
No prob. That’s pretty much why I decided to go ahead and scratch up a little gui front-end. The whole procedure is a bit complicated for the average joe I suppose, so I figured might as well try to make it at least a little easier to do the deed.
If you need info for any older builds I haven’t got to yet just me know and I can update the tool with the pretty easily now.
Lol ya my name wasn’t the most creative… Tell ya what… Whenever I submit a new version of the tool I’ll change it to yours then. Works for me.
I’m an Electron programmer myself so I’m comfortable with the CMD. But I have to respect and use tools made by the authors!
The only update I’ve needed (so far I hope) is 1.1.9.3.
I will mention one thing that DID have me wondering while I was reading your tutorial. I wasn’t entirely positive if the script needed to be ran for EACH (as the program shows it does) versioning of the game (Base, AoM, FG and each of the Crucible updates) or if just (for example) downloading FB and the latest Crucible. So maybe make that a bit clearer (unless I missed that part?).
I’ll have to re-read my guide on it but I think I do mention somewhere that you need to download everything you own one by one by, preferably in the order they released.
Basically if you own everything and the Crucible you need to do each in turn, including the Crucible downloads for each.
I did rush writing the guide so it could certainly use a rewrite to polish it up and make it clearer and easier to read, as soon as I get a chance. That was actually in the back of my mind when I wrote it.
I’m following this excellent guide and downloading the 1.1.9.3 version of the game as I type this. It is very clearly laid out and nice and easy to follow, even with my rusty CMD knowledge 
Ty for this, it’s gonna be a lifesaver. I need my Grim Internals fix lol.
His tool actually takes out all of the hassle. No need to even do anything in CMD!
Like I said - I may be wrong (I’m just trying to give some feedback so I don’t mean to be rude or nickpick by ANY means) - But I can’t find it. Your example uses B14 (0.2.0.6) which was released in Nov 2013 - The Crucible (for example) was released in Aug 2016. Both were released before AoM (which was released in Oct 2017).
True! I saw that as well, haven’t tried it but I’m extremely impressed by how it looks. I opted to go ahead and follow the step-by-step guide so as to make extra sure of what I’m doing, I don’t mind 
P.S. @powbam I just read up a few comments, congrats on the new job and the addition to your family! Super appreciate this kind of stuff and no worries about updating anything, you must be busy as all heck right now.
Well, basically when I say order they released I primarily mean the base game and the 2 expansions. The Crucible is kind of a separate thing tho it did release before the expansions.
Essentially you will always want to download first the base game (and crucible) then aom (and cruc), then fg (and cruc). In that order. If you were were to only download just the FG Crucible version, for example, you would find that the Crucible wouldn’t even load because it would be missing the other files it needs. I tested this myself while making the tool to verify if you truly needed to download each separately, and it turns out you do.
Thats why I was pointing out that mentioning that may be a good idea so as to not throw a curve ball with someone that doesn’t know CMD or how the SteamDB works? For those like @Torzini who wanted to use the written guide and not the tool.
Just an idea.
Many programs that pull updates from Steam just require you to grab the latest patch (or the patch you are pulling from like SteamCMD). This tool (as I noticed from using the great application you wrote) made it very clear to me that that is NOT how the Depot worked.
Yup. I’ll definitely take a look and make that clearer in the sections needed as soon as I can then so thanks for pointing it out.
To be fair he does mention it already, yeah - “You will need to do each download in succession if you also want Crucible, AoM, and FG content as well.” I’ve just been going down the list in order, so it seemed pretty clear to me already. Though I guess I can see how there might be confusion.
