How do you downgrade to a previous patch?

[=CrimsoN=]

Has anyone been successful in doing this? I've tried but haven't been able to. It was pretty easy to do so in GTA 4 (I even made a guide on it). But since everything is online based (or no reason...). Game won't let me load into singleplayer without proper authentication, yadda, yadda etc., etc.

If it has to be said, I don't care for online compatability. I only play singleplayer and want to test previous versions of the game since I'm having so many problems with the latest patch.

You can't do this on Steam unless the developer explicitly allows it through "beta" builds
This isn't the case with this game, so you'd have to download it from illegal sources

The thing is, it was possible to downgrade GTA 4 without the need to use those "illegal sources".

Different game, I know, but it was possible with workarounds. Was wondering if anyone had any workarounds for GTA 5. From Google searches, it was possible in the past, it seems.

Used to be able to a long time ago. Used to be able to delete a couple update files and hop on an older client. Ppl were doing mods/drops/stats this way too. Pretty sure it was only for the SC version and I think they made it to where you can't do that anymore.
Hope that helps

well u cant revert now
but to do this in future
download rage plugin hook
total legal (application?)
i mean it is created for allowing mods and stuff but it also has feature to back up your current game and revert back to it

I'll let you explore :D

Yep, I already use Rage plugin hook. Never had the chance to back up a previous game version :/

I already did that, although I don't need this current version, because this version broke the performance and AA in my game. Game was fine before Import/Export was released.

What I need are previous versions. I know its probably against the rules on most forum sites to host backup versions made with Rage plugin hook.

Yeah and even then there is no guarantee that Rockstar will fix the performance issues in the next update.

*sigh* Guess Ill have to scour for other ways to downgrade. Im sure there is a workaround.

Yes but GTA IV was created and coded diffently than GTA V. Since GTA IV and previous games didn't have Multiplayer or a competitive one like GTA V, Rockstar had a more Bethesda approach to mods as they help keep players active, and new people buying an old game. However that's not the case anymore with GTA V. If you want to revert back you gotta get an older version of the game

Or finding someone who has backed up their GameBackups.rph

Which I might have just done.

Yeah I know. Im mostly just venting. Wish it was as easy as it was in the past. What the hell was Rockstar thinking....thats some straight up EA ♥♥♥♥ right there, forcing everyone to be online 100% of the time and forcing everyone to use the same version of the game -_-

Yeah, but GTA 5 isn't an exclusively online game...

Edit: Why should I have to be online to play singleplayer. Makes zero sense. EA does that ♥♥♥♥ because they believe it stops pirating (even though it doesn't). Shame that Rockstar is going down the same path.
