Most notably Cyberpunk is now the first game to have DLSS 4 and the new multi-frame generation.

    You just go to steamdb, grab the numbers for the version you want, go to steam console, download it, then replace the files. So not exactly dumb person easy, but pretty damn easy once you figure out how to do it. I’ve done it a bunch of times. It always works.

      Yeah, to me that files under “doable” and not “smooth and easy”, but everyone has a personal definition of those I guess.

        Yeah, I would say “easy” means its achievable wiyhout leaving the launcher, and using only the mouse / menu system.

        Yea. Fair enough. I mean it takes like 10 minutes of research and then it’s easy in my opinion. It’s subjective haha. The important thing is you can do it without needing any crazy workarounds.

      Easy for you perhaps, but for Johnny NoThumbs and Timmy Fortnite, this would complicated

      A simple GUI addition like GOG provides would be the most ideal

      This downloads the whole game. He hardest would be waiting for download to finish for me.

        Huh? That sentence doesn’t make sense.

        Yes it redownloads the whole game. Not a big deal.

          I don’t have gigabit network or a lot of disk space.

            Okay well that’s an issue with your setup in general. It has nothing to do with what we’re talking about.

            It’s not adding extra data. You’re replacing your game with an older version. If anything it’ll use less space since newer updates add more data usage to the game usually.

            Also your slow Internet is an overall issue. Then you have an issue with downloading things in general. Again, irrelevant.

              Correct me if I am wrong: If you use steam console to download an old version of the game, regardless of currently installed version, steam downloads the whole game. Let’s say I was on v2.1, the game received an update v2.2 and I downloaded it normally through Steam, this downloads only the difference between 2.1 and 2.2. Let’s say I have 2.2, the game doesn’t use the “betas” feature and I want to downgrade the game. Steam ignores the current 2.2 install and downloads 2.1 in its entirety.

                Yes it downloads the whole game. But you’re overwriting the old one. Hence no significant shift in disk space used.
