Help needed to Downgrade Skyrim on Linux

[Spacehaven]

Hi out there,

 

I spend the past three weeks to set up skyrim on a new system and managed to get my first modded install to work. I forgot to disable upgrades, and skyrim secretly updated my game breaking everything. 

I want to downgrade my game from the current version 1.7.99 to the previous version. I think that was 1.6.1170 (I dont get the naming convention for upgrades).
I am aware that there are multiple downgrade tools but since I am running linux I dont want to entrust a .exe running through wine with doing the downgrading. 

Can somone point me to a guide to downgrade to 1.6.1170 specifically? 
I know this needs between 1 and 3 manifest ids and i really dont want to break things further.

I found this guide and am trying it now: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/6536

Do you use Steam? Then set Auto-Update-Download between 3 and 4 at night. => no autoupdate anymore

and shut your Computer down over night

USELESS indeed.

Why run an update on PC that is meant for console players.

FUCKING TODD!!


Edit.: I was not hit. Fortunately. Going to keep that manifest locked forever.

I don't get it. Why not simply announce there is a new update, and then let people click the download button somewhere, if they want it? Am I missing something? I know they have been doing this for years and years, I don't know why.

We should ask ourselves why in this Update (which no one asked for) there are CCs that many people have paid to have.With this Update, they are free

You may find some options on the Nexus here.

I had to roll mine back earlier this week as some arse has set up an upgrade without notice.
I made a 7z archive of my 1.5.97 install years ago in case of crap like this.

 

Good luck!

I'll try to find some place to do the same thing.

Well, despite setting my game to only update when launched and only lauching it via skse it happened again? Vulcan shaders wanted to get recompiled, probably because of community shaders.

Any idea of how i can prevent updates in the future?
at least i know now how to downgrade

1. Copy/Paste from Discord.

    

    

   from another Discord channel: @everyone WARNING I hate pinging the world because I know everyone (including me) hates being pinged. Bethesda has announced they are going to update Skyrim (and FO4, for those who play it) again. Our modern installations are loaded with SKSE plugins and they will likely all break. These are the steps you must take to protect yourself.

   • In Windows, go to a folder in your steam installation. Mine looks like this. Your path may be different depending on where you installed Steam.

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\

   • You are looking for this file: appmanifest_489830.acf

   • In Windows, right-click on that file and select Properties.

   • Check the box to make the file Read-only. This keeps Steam from being able to update the game's manifest. If it can't update the game's manifest, it won't update the game.

   • CK Users need to do the same to this file: appmanifest_1946180.acf

   Bear in mind, Setting your Steam game settings to not update will not keep them from updating the game. Setting Steam to run offline is not safe. Steam will set it back online whenever they want to update Steam, at which point, you are online and your games will also be updated. Locking down the manifest files is the only safe way to maintain your current game version.
