Topic on Store talk:Steam

According to this section: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Store:Steam#Download_older_game_versions

> As of February 12, 2020 it is not longer possible to use the Steam client to download older game versions.

However, I tried doing it myself, and it worked as expected. Is the info outdated?

Here's what I've done:

- I typed `steam://nav/console` on the browser to open Steam's console

- I typed the command to download the first version of Brawlhalla (needs to be on the library):

`download_depot 291550 291551 6492858552396319232`

- I moved the files

- Brawlhalla launched, and it was the first version

I'm on Linux, using Steam's beta client.

AFAIK the functionality never really left.

It absolutely did as I was the one that wrote and later updated the PCGW section after Valve had removed the built-in option. Data _was_ downloaded, but despite the manifest being specified, the Steam client would always download the latest manifest so it was functionally useless.

It's possible they fixed that at one point or another though -- I'll verify it as well today.

Yeah, can confirm as well now that the ability download older manifests was restored to the desktop client :)
