A fixbox with instructions on how to download older game versions was updated thanks to Aemony to include instructions on how to use the third-party program DepotDownoloader with a disclaimer, due to the feature being removed from the Steam client.
In December 2019 Valve seemed to have changed something so that you can't download depots through the client anymore, making it the only method to download older versions a program called DepotDownloader.
The fixbox is going to need to be rewritten to account for having to use the program.
I have updated the instructions to match DepotDownloader, and added a disclaimer about it requiring the username, password, and Steam Guard authentication token to function.
Basically PCGamingWiki cannot make any guarantees about the tool's use, and users have to use it at their own risk.
Thanks for that Aemony. Due to the sheer length of the fixbox I left it for another day to tackle and kinda forgot about it, though I wouldn't have been able to write something up as fancy as you did, disclaimer and all.
The only other alternative would of been to remove it entirely, but it's still a valid thing so it's worth a mention.
