Downpatching Dark Souls II
Authors: george/kingbore
Instructions
Dark Souls 3 was updated in 2022 and again in early 2023, breaking mod engine and many mods. An easy way to 100% fix this is by downpatching your DS3 EXE to an older version.
Method 1
You can follow this youtube tutorial here, which provides a google drive link to the old exe.
Method 2
Follow these directions to download the old version of DS3 directly through steam:
- Open windows “run” (windows key + R).
- Paste steam:open/console and click OK. This will open a new menu in steam. - In steam, paste download_depot 374320 374321 4471176929659548333 into the text box at the bottom and hit the enter key. - Once it finishes, it will tell you where the downpatched DarkSoulsIII.exe was saved. Go there. - Find your DS3 installation (right click DS3 in steam library → manage → browse local files). - Copy and paste the downpatched DarkSoulsIII.exe to your DS3 installation and overwrite the original exe. ==== Uninstallation ==== Verify game files through steam to restore DarkSoulsIII.exe.
