How to download previous version of games on steam

A list of available game updates can be found here: Game updates.

This page lists game versions with the appropriate depots, branches and manifest ids to download older game versions. The information has been obtained from SteamDB using the history tab manually and may be missing some game versions.

ToolsEdit

In order to download older game versions on steam, you can use one of the following methods.

Steam console (does not work for experimental builds)Edit

In your web browser enter the following URL: steam://nav/console. This should open the steam console where you can type commands.

To download older versions type the following command: download_depot <depot id> <manifest id>

There won't be any download progress indicators when you start the command.

The downloaded files will be located in the following folder: <steam installation directory>/steamapps/content/app_/depot_<depot id>

Using DepotDownloader (external program)Edit

You can download an external program called depot downloader on Github at this address www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar

Remember: you will need the .NET runtime to run the app. You can download this at this address www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar (select .NET core runtime).

Once you have downloaded DepotDownloader, extract it in a folder and open a command prompt in that folder. The syntax to use this tool is the following: dotnet www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar -app -depot <depot id> -manifest <manifest id> -beta <branch name> -username <steam account username> -password <steam account password>

You can add an optional -dir <directory> argument to specify where to download the files

As you can see the tool requires you to enter your steam credentials. Using this tool is up to your responsibility.

Download informationsEdit

Some game versions may have duplicate entries. This is not a bug, those versions did have multiple manifest ids.

Game versions are listed from most recent to oldest.
