Is there any way for us newer speedrunners to get our hands on a downgraded version? Because, if i'm not mistaken some of the skips have been patched in the newest version.

This is precisely why I stopped running the game...I accidentally updated with no backup copy and couldn't find a way to depatch it on steam. :(

The only way I've been able to do it is by unfavorable means ¤coughtorrentcough¤ since I couldn't depatch the Steam version, then adding a no-steam patch to the files to play it separate from the steam version. It was super janky and almost left a virus on my computer, but it worked. Somehow.

I'm trying to find someone who know how to make a patch client much like what the Borderlands 2 community has and be able to downpatch this game the same way, but no dice so far.
