Still possible to re-enable heka chests?

[Doomguy]

I've owned this game for many years and had literally just started playing it when they removed heka chests, and then seemingly also removed the daily Reda quest shortly after. Is there any way for me to re-enable heka chests, or at least the Reda daily at this point? Or should I just give up. Yes, I realize I can play the game without 100% completion, no, I do not want to.

Simply search for an old thread called "RIP Heka Chests" and you'll find out that Ubi$oft had disabled those for the Steam version of Assassin's Creed: Origins (AC:O) a while back and for you to restore them is to simply downgrade your Steam's AC:O prior to that date and then tell Steam to not update the game afterwards.

More recently this past year, around the 16th-17th June 2024 Ubi' Con[ubisoftconnect.com]'s 'so called' patch we all also lost both the Reda's "Daily Quests" and the Trials of the Gods "Weekly Community Challenge" quests AC:O's functionalities and it was only after many of this community opening their Tickets upon the Ubi$oft's "Support" site[www.ubisoft.com] to pester them about the shameful obsolescence that it inserted in the game we've finally managed to get a fix around 2-3 months after it occuring, so... by now I think that you have to available options to choose from and then proceed into.

I tried this 'mod' and it worked:
https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedorigins/mods/224

It downgrades the .exe of the game to v1.60, so make a backup before replacing it

Only problem is that after downgrading the .exe, I only managed to load the save using DXVK as well though, try without it and see if you can load, if not, download DXVK here, it makes the game run under Vulkan instead of DX11, use the correct files from the x64 folder:

The 1.60 launcher worked, I couldn't load my current game but after starting a new game, it will allow me to load that save, that's good enough for me!
