Short guide how to downgrade to 1.13.2

[Amene]

Similar to what I did for Lies of P and LotF2 that went through few passes of dumbing down, using basic tricks with symlinks.

https://rentry.co/eldenring_downgrade/ (as well as under steam guides, also link only).

Emphasis on savegame warnings: the game is touchy about versions and won't let you run newer savegame on older versions. You will have to manage those as well.

This did not work at least for me bc I think bc there is no executable of the version 1.13.2 i did get it to work with the 1.12.2 version but in that case i did have the executable depot if you have pls share it idesperate bc i couldnt fight pre nerf radahn

[Amene]

The executable is part of the base game, obtained via

download_depot 1245620 1245621 482277073103360116

If you see no executable, my first guess would be that maybe you ran out of space.

Why should you downgrade to 1.13.2?

I double the question. Why, realy?

It's probably just easier to use some of the mods that are available.

1. A lot of people dislike the perceived nerfing of certain pieces of content.

2. Some people like making content or personally comparing the differences between bosses in various update versions.

3. Maybe trouble shooting, idk.

Hmm, double checked. Indeed the executable is missing. Will look into it later.

Easier to play something else.

FWIW there is a mod (actually more than one) that reverts the Radahn's behavior to a proper Radahn: https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/6477

Much easier instead of messing with depots and ♥♥♥♥.

might have done something wrong? my game is on my second ssd so the pc will still be fast enough even tho i have lots of games installed. i changed the links to the steamlibrary file but whenever I try to open the batchfiles it doesnt open anything, just a window for less than a second before closing again..
