Only interested in Split Screen / Local Multiplayer / All game characters (unlocked) / Offline

By Idiota125

The game is a great local party rally game. But after the latest game patches, the different characters in the game are now locked and you either have to pay a lot and/or play a lot to get different characters. But who cares about playing a game for hundreds of hours when you just want to have a good time with your friends? This is a guide that restores the previous version and unlocks the characters for your use. Of course, you won't be able to play online anymore, and you won't get any new updates.

1. Download depot file (previous version of the game)

This is my first guide so don't judge me! :)

1. Open your Steam Console:

Open Steam.
Press Win + R
Type
steam://open/console
Press Ok

2. Download depot file:

Copy this to your Steam console:
download_depot 1537830 1537831 1804243221938080232
Press Enter
Wait... it's 14kMB... (Don't type anything else)

3. When downloaded,

- It shows you where the previous version of the game has been downloaded (depot files)
- It's something like this: Depot download complete : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_1537830\depot_1537831"

2. Replace game files with the "old" ones (depot files)

- Delete (or change location) all the game files from the originally install folder and copy&paste all the content from depot folder to that install folder.
- Game install folder is usually:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DisneySpeedstorm

3. Replace the newer save file with the old one

- Delete (or change location) old game save file: My Documents > Gameloft -folder.
- Download (old save file of mine) from this link:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!ApYx1E4-Jg70_hlFpPKUNiBFTvp7?e=4YaTH8
- Copy & Paste downloaded "Gameloft" -folder to My Documents -folder.

My save file has been played up to level 3, local Multiplayer has been opened, nothing else. But all game characters are available in offline mode!

4. Set the game to update only on launch:

- Select the game in steam
- Select the "manage" cog wheel on the right side
- Select "properties" in the menu
- Select "updates"
- under automatic updates, select "update game only on startup"

5. Launch the game ALWAYS in OFFLINE mode:

- You can go offline mode from steam everytime OR you can block internet connection from windows firewall (for game .exe file) -> it goes offline automatically. Don't need to go offline from steam. (Use google if you don't know how to do it, it's easy)
- Steam Offline: when Steam is open: point to "steam" in the upper left corner, click on it and select go offline from the menu that opens.
- Launch the game from Steam -> enjoy the game like before!

6. DO NOT UPDATE THE GAME EVER AGAIN!

- the game asks for it if you are online. If you update, you have to do everything from the beginning if you want to use all the characters again. But if you want to go back to the new version and play in Online mode, you just update the game and let it go.

I hope this guide works now, let me know in the comments! (at least I can play like this)

Yeah will do, thanks!

You have to do this again every time after a mandatory update. So it's worth keeping those depot files somewhere so you don't have to download them again.

Nice! :)

Works great now with the shared save. Thank you

Idiota125 [author] 12 May @ 12:17am

Let me know if this "shared gamesave file" doesn't work.

Idiota125 [author] 12 May @ 12:12am

I updated the guide for that, now part 3.

1. Delete old "Gameloft" - folder from My Documents folder (or move it another location). 2. Download folder from the link, copy & paste to My Document Folder.

I am sorry this seems to work only in old save file, you can download mine from here:

Doesn't work for me, the game just says Try Again or Exit, no way to play
