If, like me, you weren't able to register the two free DLCs before they were delisted from the Steam store, you will not have the authorization to download the files from those DLC depots, and will instead need to download the files from the "[https://steamdb.info/depot/255238/ Linux - GRID Autosport - Content]" depot or the "[https://steamdb.info/depot/255225/ Mac - GRID Autosport - Content]" depot. The high-resolution PSSG files and Demoman Derby NeFS archive are not OS-specific, so there are no compatibility issues that arise from using these 627 files with Windows.

In this example, I will be using the "Linux - GRID Autosport - Content" depot to get the DLC files for a Windows installation. These instructions would require alteration if using the "Mac - GRID Autosport - Content" depot instead (you would need to change the depot & manifest IDs, as well as the DLC file paths), and there is no reason to prefer the macOS depot over the Linux depot (the needed files are identical; I've verified this).

Copy the '''cars''' and '''download''' directories you just downloaded over to your Steam installation of Grid Autosport (e.g., %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\GRID Autosport\). Windows will prompt you to confirm that you want to merge the directories. Select '''Yes'''. If you don't plan on using DepotDownloader again, you can delete it, and you can uninstall Microsoft .NET Runtime 6.0 (e.g., 6.0.14) if you don't have any other applications that use Microsoft .NET Runtime 6.0 (i.e., if you only installed it to run DepotDownloader).

You will still need to download and install [https://github.com/acidicoala/Koalageddon Koalageddon]. Once installed, run the Koalageddon wizard to install the platform integration for Steam. If you ever uninstall Grid Autosport, and thus no longer need to access the free DLC, you can later use the Koalageddon wizard to remove the platform integration for Steam. Like I said, I haven't tried Grid Autosport multiplayer while using Koalageddon out of concern it might trigger VAC, and when I use Koalageddon for singleplayer, I add [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options#Command-Line_Parameters -insecure] to my launch options for Grid Autosport in order to disable VAC.

Like I said, I haven't, I can't guarantee that Koalageddon won't trigger VAC, so I would disable it. To do this add [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options#Command-Line_Parameters -insecure] to your launch options for Grid Autosport. Right-click Grid Autosport in your Steam library, select Properties, and in the General section, add '''-insecure''' under the text "Advanced users may choose to enter modifications to their launch options." This may prohibit multiplayer if Codemasters doesn't offer VACless multiplayer servers, but you will still be able to player singleplayer.
