Valve "not Intends to Block Downloading Old Versions" On Steam

Update - September 28, 2021 - Valve responded to claims that Steam might end the ability to download older versions of games.



September 28 September 28 Valve has shared an official statement with PCGamer that explains the studio has no plans to end the option to download older game builds. "We are not actually planning to stop downloading old builds," a spokesperson tells the website. "What we are currently working on is a method to handling edge cases involving unowned materials and helping partners remove their builds that need to go. Pessoa We'll have more to share on this work once it's ready for shipping." Original story is available.



Steam beta 2 includes an update that seems to eliminate the ability to rollback updates to games or play older versions on Steam. In the new version users cannot download depots of Steam games to play older versions of games they own - and many are dissatisfied with this change.



There are many games that change radically between updates. There's a whole fan community dedicated to finding and archiving the various versions of Minecraft through the years, for example and games like Counter-Strike update regularly , with significant changes.



It is possible to download older versions of Steam games with SteamDB. All you have to do is find the version you want to play. The September 23 beta update to Steam seems to have stopped this practice. The update will be live in Steam's client, and no one will be allowed to play older versions.



This was spotted by SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, who confirms that it would now be impossible to download older game depots of Steam games and play them with this new code in place - at least if Steam enforces it for all games. Pavel states that SteamDB will have to "go back to the past to only track files it owns" If this happens. You can read Pavel's complete, detailed explanation over on SteamDB.



The last Steam beta brought a major change to downloads for games.



With this change, it is no longer possible to download older game versions, because client asks for a code (GetManifestRequestCode) that rotates every five minutes.

Many Steam tinkerers are unhappy with this change and seeking to have it reversed. Whether it will be before going live is entirely up to Valve Of course.
