How to play the legacy version of Days Gone on steam without remastered version

[Zed]

Open your browser and paste the link or the Run command: steam://open/console

Then in the Steam console type:

download_depot 1259420 1259421 2120063653185364239

This will download the old days gone version to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_1259420

it wont appear in the downloads so there is no indication it's downloading, but you can see your network usage in task manager to know it is being downloaded.

When it's done, copy the Engine and Bendgame folder to your Days Gone steam folder in steamapps\common\Days Gone

Finally, find the file appmanifest file in steamapps\appmanifest_1259420.acf
right click it and make it read only, this stops Steam updating it again.

Dude your backpack mods are a must have for me in the game... would it be possible to have them work with Rick, they work with Daryl and other outfits.

Obviously I have no idea how difficult modding is but just thought I would raise it in case it is possible and not too much work.

I'm not taking requests. This is not a thread about mods. Its about how to play the legacy version of the game. The Rick mod isn't mine and I can't edit or change it anyway.
