Reverting back to Runtime 1.5.50

[DontBlnkBadWolf]

So, 10 hours ago, another update was released that has players not being able to use certain mods again. So I want to help people get back to Runtime 1.5.50

 

 

Right click on your Windows Icon (Start Menu)

 

Click on Run

 

Copy/Paste: steam://nav/console

 

The Steam Console will appear. At the bottom Copy/Paste:

 

download_depot 489830 489833 583541185188584076

 

It will download SkyrimSE.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_489830\depot_489833

 

I suggest that you rename that app_489830 to something like I did: app_489830 SSE v1.5.50

 

If you don't rename the folder, then it will be overwritten if you download another older version of the SkyrimSE.exe

 

And there you have it, you can now go back to version 1.5.50

You sir, are a lifesaver.

 

Now, is there a way to get steam to stop automatically updating?

You can keep Steam from updating a game by right-clicking the game in your library and clicking 'properties'. Then go to the 'Updates' tab, and set it to "only update this game when I launch it" in the drop-down menu.

 

Big thanks to BadWolf up there for the Steam Console info as well.

You are welcome.

Another way is to launch the game through NMM, MO2 or MO. Which ever mod manager you use.

On Steam I set properties to only update when I launch, as we have to launch from SKSE - the game will never update. The updates are just new creation club mods, not significant. When the other mods are updated accordingly to the latest version - I launch from the standard launch to update the EXE, and then update SKSE and other mods. I always keep a wee backup of SkyrimSE exe before I let the game update. This issue will go on for ever, anyway, that's my 2 cents way of dealing with it.. :cool:

Another update, so it's time to bump this

Why do people use steam ? You can remove the steam DRM mechanism either yourself with sufficient assembly knowledge or search for a cracked version. You bought the game, you can use whatever version you want.
