Returning to an old game version

[Absolute_Vile]

Is it possible to return to an older version of a game? one is updates the game wont let you play unless you have the latest newest version you play,

I used BDI to remove game update to return base version.

1) use dbi or tinfoil to uninstall the update
2) in tinfoil or dbi, use the reset required firmware option
3) profit

i recently updated Diablo 3, and it warned me that i cant return to an old version once i continue (once i update my save). so you may want to look out for this, but this may only be a problem with diablo...

Thanks mate your ideas worked, tinfoil should have an option to download specific versions

Not needed if you do 1)

Didn't realize it was changed. My bad, thank you

It was from scratch. If you install/delete title via DBI, required version adjusted automatically. And also you can reset required version for titles installed by other ways.

Totally unrelated but just wanna say thanks for developing and maintaining DBI! Great multifunctional tool with a simple UI and love using it. Appreciate the work

I asked this question many times and worked it out in the end!

Use DBI to locate the game you wish to roll back to a previous update version (even back to base game)

Backup the save using DBI rather than the switch file manager, so that if you install the latest update again you can use DBI to restore that save easily.

Delete the update and then reset the required version number through DBI.

And that's it, worked perfectly with no prompt to update! Hope that helps.

Edit: I see you're already solved, oops ahaha!
