REVERT PATCH GUIDE - FIX Alb Questline Gamebreaking Bug.

[Jakeo10]

You can revert to March 1 game files using the steam console to download previous depot files.

Open the steam console by typing, into your browser:

steam://open/console

You will now have a "CONSOLE" tab in your Steam Client. Open it.

Now type:

download_depot 900040 900042 6460818886322476941

- These are the March 1 binaries, the ones available to you before the recent patch.

Now type:

download_depot 900040 900041 198007665804875601

- These are all of the March 1 game content files. It is 21gb so it may take some time.

Copy paste the files into your ELEX 2 install from their download location which will be located in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_900040\depot_900042\system

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_900040\depot_900041\data

Launch your now downgraded Elex II game without quest bugs.

I can confirm this work, even when using a save file that was saved after the patch.

Additionally I would recommend looking at this general guide to downgrade (with pictures) that I find useful:

Did you reload from before the bug occurred though?

This isn't inherently retroactive. If it didnt fix it immediately you may need to reload to before the bug occurred.

I loaded my save in front of the depot, just before Skibor got stuck and it works for me.

yeah if you load before the problem appears it works, if you did the skibor escort and then played another 10 hours doing other stuff and then go to the depot.... im stuck at speak with irissa quest from azok

Unfortunately without reloading an earlier save you are stuck waiting for the next patch.

They need to fix this ASAP. :/

Thanks, this worked. Didn't even need to reload any previous save - had a save right there with him standing doing nothing and as soon as I loaded with the downgraded version he started running to Irissa and the rest of the questline was working fine as well.

It worked for me as well. I had left the quest at the point where I opened Skibor's chest but BEFORE I talk to Zarik about the findings. After reverting to launch version of the game, I talked to Zarik and when we went back to see Irissa, she was in her office downstairs rather than stuck at the Elexetor office.

Thank you so much

When I copy in the new folders, I lose spoken audio - dialogue is silent. Any ideas on a workaround?

[Haze]

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worked. Thank you god.

[Stonga]

Thank you for this :)
Is it safe to move over to the latest patch again after the trigger?
