@Blechbaby, according to what I played: This reverty the game to the state before this shitty update happened. Legacy Version is the version you want.

Hey! So I'm hoping you are still active...I was wondering if you could help reassure me a bit that this works lol. Will this revert it back to the normal game, with no epic games sus files included? I haven't downloaded the game since back before then, and I've had my whole drive erased before for a separate reason, so there should be no remnant of the new version of the game or the old one. So if I do as this says, then install it, will I get any Epic games bs or no? From what I've seen in this thread and others, people are saying it reverts to the current version with Epic games, but others are also saying after this happens they get an update that removes Epic games and fixes everything. I don't know what to believe lol. I really miss this game and I want to do more than my little child brain did despite finishing the story 10 times lol. I think I only did story missions and blew stuff up lol.

@sj_490 To answer your questions: I've never used mods with SRIV. I mean, it is already over-loaded with content

and @Agent_Riot: r34, bruh, r34.

I have a question about the thumbnail
WHERE"S THE SAUCE??

sj_490 26 Dec, 2022 @ 8:19pm

Also I seem to be missing some of my paid dlc.

The re-elected version keeps crashing with mods, and the pre re-elected version I get either an infinite loading screen or the game freezes and stutters every few seconds.

AF [author] 24 Dec, 2022 @ 5:13am

Because Epic.

Because the re-elected version keeps crashing, at least for me.

Captain Facepalm 23 Dec, 2022 @ 5:23pm

Just curious. Why go back to the original?

AF [author] 16 Dec, 2022 @ 4:51pm

@lanergt82, normally it should re-install the whole game or update what you've already isntalled. To be sure that it works I suggest you UNinstall the game completely and install it after changing to the legacy-version.
