Need help rolling back.

[GOLDWING]

Hey all, I just redownloaded Fallout 4 and only realized there was an update today after I read a modding guide that mentioned blocking it. Does anyone have the console command to get the previous version back or do I have to do something more complicated?

Open steam console and do the following:

Firstly, you'll need this guide.

https://framedsc.com/GeneralGuides/steam_update_guide.htm

Follow it cause you need to learn how to download the repositories and how to open the steam console. Once you got that down you have to download these and install them in order replacer EVERYTHING whenever it is needed.

(Keep in mind that you are re-downloading the game from what has been saved in STEAMDB, do it one by one, don't hog your download speed by trying to do it all at once. File size should be about 22-ish GBs once you have everything. Once again FOLLOW the guide so you know where the repos will be downloaded and where / how you'll want to move them around.)

Once that is done you have to delete most new files from the creation club that will be in your DATA, these are the culprits that will cause your game to crash since Bethesda updated them in masse I can't be sure which one is safe to keep and which one isn't, so for now it is best to put them in a Back Up folder. Now, anything that has "ccBG" at the beginning of its name in the DATA folder should be safe to remove, that is the code they give to creation club content, however, if you use mods, you probably already know that these are not very much compatible with anything extra from nexus you add to the game.

Once you have all that done REMEMBER to play the game in offline mode / to shut off wi-fi on your steam deck (as is my case) or to delete any manifesto that will force the game to update, cause it will break everything again. Once you have everything I stated done you can probably re-install the current (non-updated) version of the Script Extender and start playing. I've not encountered any crashes or data corruptions. Save games seem clean enough that I have no missing ESP / ESL / Meshes / Textures. If anything goes wrong or you don't feel confident enough that this won't screw your fallout 4 install folder then don't try it. For MO2 this should be safe enough since mods are kept separately from the game elsewhere.

That depot may have been a DLC you didn't buy?

Also make sure, when you revert, you delete all Creation Club files that start with 'cc' or 'CC'. I missed a few and it failed until I deleted the last of them.

Once you downgrade you won't be able to use any mods that were updated after NG release.

I have 3 DLC's all of which i purchased keys from isthereanydeals.com... Nuka world, Automatron, and Far harbor... I also purchased Fallout itself from this... got a great deal... Im worried that the issue may be that I bought keys... I was supposed to delete the cc files first correct?

I deleted the creation club files after downloading the depots. I'm not sure how purchasing stuff from outside Steam works. I would think it would be fine. I don't know what your failing depot corresponds to though.

is it required you think? maybe i can go without

[Zuleica]

Ahh, the one that failed for you, depot 435880, is the Wasteland Workshop DLC. Did you buy that one? If not don't worry and delete the Creation Club files and give it a try.

[Huntsman Yang Lung]

it works haven't checked the mods yet, and i ran into an issue... for anyone else who may hit this wall i ran into Relocation(600) plugin blah blah blah anyways install Address Library for F4SE plugins on nexus and itll open... it crashed while i was typing this but i assume its because I alt tabbed to type this while it was on the main menu lol

So the roll back worked and you can get into the game but it's now crashing? At what point does it crash?
