How to download the previous build of the game (v1.03)

[ninpomcoop]

Update #1 (12/09/2021):

Valve disabled the ability to download past versions of depots via the console, but you can use Depot Downloader to work around that.

--- ORIGINAL POST ---

I figured this might be of use to some here since there are a lot of reports of v1.05 introducing incessant stuttering:

- Open Steam's developer console by typing steam://open/console into your browser
- Input download_depot 582160 582161 8264693827870023382 and wait for the console to report "Depot download complete"
- Navigate to SteamApps\content\app_582160\depot_582161 and move the data to the game installation folder

The information in the app manifest file will remain unchanged, so Steam won't download an update until Ubi patches the game again. If you'd like to go back to v1.05, simply verify the game data.

Edit: Be aware that the depot in question is a ~35.6GB download.

Edit edit: If you encounter texture-related issues, delete the files mentioned in Dist's post here.

I finally get it to work but it downloaded 40+ gb... why?

Because you're not reverting the data you already have to its previous state but rather downloading the previous version of the main content data depot in its entirety. If v1.3 were available as a public "beta" branch, then Steam's delta patching system would come into play and the download would be significantly smaller, but, alas, that's not the case.

Mine's at 41GB

It's most likely user error, or hardware related.

I'd not directly downgrade It, since It can corrupt your files because those patches are different and It would just override few files, everything else would be the same. The best way to do a secure downgrade, is to use the system recovery or you can download the previous version of the game from the internet somewhere and copy/paste the contents.

The latter is essentially what you're doing. The only data depot that was modified when v1.05 released was the main content one[steamdb.info], and as I explained above, the previous version of said depot is what the console command downloads, which is why the download size is so large.

I assure you this method works and is safe to do, but I understand if you're a little reluctant to take my word for it, so perhaps these two posts will alleviate your concerns:

And I'm back to 1.03 - and it's running like it used to. Yay. Thanks @JaseC

Never heard of this kind of patch downgrade in Steam. Judging from your description it is possible for other games too (?) Skyrim got a lot of hate due to Creation Garbage patches and nobody posted this kind of solution or maybe devs can delete history of patches from steam?

Yeah. The only wrinkle is that you need the relevant manifest ID(s), which, as far as SteamDB can tell, are public knowledge only if the game has been released.

I gather you're referrng to Skyrim SE as vanilla Skyrim hasn't been patched since April 2015. If you have a rough idea of when the game was patched to your dissatisfaction and can tell me which particular licence you own (input licenses_for_app 489830 and relay the reported package ID), I can offer a helping hand.

The release of v1.06 will overwrite the data you've manually downloaded, but if you have the space, you can back up SteamApps\common\Assassins Creed Origins, just in case.

Your English is fine, by the way. :)

I hope this will fix that ridiculously annoying crosshair bug that's in the game after this patch. Not only we don't have the option to actually customize HUD, the game is now broken and will ALWAYS display crosshair when crouched, or when using Senu even if your HUD is disabled.

i'm noticing some textures are not loading after doing this and i don't see drawing distance being better than v1.0.5. Could there be something i did wrong? maybe something i didn't do well while copying the files or something

I had this same issue but I think I fixed it by deleting some files. When you copy over the files you will see that some files are not replaced, because they are new. You need to get rid of these files. The files for me were:

DataPC_ACE_AegeanCoast_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_CRO_Arena_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_CYR_Arena_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_Duat_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_Egypt_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_Hippodrome_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_MediterraneanSea_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_PresentDay_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_Rome_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_ACE_TyrrhenianSea_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_TitleScreen_dx11_patch_01
DataPC_WhiteRoom_dx11_patch_01
GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.x64
