    Yep, that works as well.

    I use depotdownloader because I automated my downgrade script for Beat Saber, makes things faster.

      Are you downgrading to several different versions? Because I’ve used the console variant and just run the game from the download folder and Steam doesn’t update it

        Yes, I keep several Beat Saber versions for different mods and replace the files in the main directory when Beat Saber updates.

          I’ve just not replaced the files in any directory at all, just start the game from the download location for the depot (one should be able to rename the folder for it to the version) and then you keep any number of versions to play available by just going into that download location and starting the game.

          At least that’s how it has worked for me. I just thought that was easier than having to replace files every time.

            It is, I just can’t do it because I have all the custom songs and plugins in my main folder and copying/linking all of that is a lot more work than just overwriting the game files each time.
