How rollback game version

[fost]

Anyone know how to remove or roll back Empyrion Galactic. An auto update was installed that I don't want. I want to go to version 1.11.8. The update took the game to 1.11.9.
Help please...

Empyrion offers BETA branches for older versions but only full version numbers.
So there is no way to get back to 1.11.8 only, 1.10, 1.9 and so on.

I think there's a depot command to do it but I don't know it.

The command is "download_depot".

OP, you can use that and go back to 1.11.8 if you wish.
If you don't want to deal with future updates, you could go to an older version offered via Steam then do the download_depot stuff below and fill the game folder with 1.11.8 data..

There are many guides around if you want to learn the full process (the first returned in my search https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-downgrade-steam-games/) but here's what you'd end up with:

1.
Open Steam to the Console tab:
Windows key + R, paste in steam://open/console then choose OK

2.
paste this into the text area at the bottom of the console, then press Enter

download_depot 383120 383121 7911300415858719463

and it'll download all of 1.11.8's data.

(If you're still on the current version of the game, could use this instead and lessen the depot dl

download_depot 383120 383121 7911300415858719463 7991579163681037411

It compares .8 to .9 and skips the download of any file that was unchanged between them)

3.
The download takes longer than the regular Steam dl process.
The console will say when the download is complete.
The data will download to .../Steam/steamapps/content/app_383120/depot_383121/
Paste the data from within that folder into the game's folder, saying yes to the overwrite.
