Like me, you may have come across a trick that no longer works for downloading old versions of Xenoverse 2 through Steam's console. Sadly, this feature was removed in a recent Steam update. In another thread, I indicated I figured out how to downgrade Xenoverse 2 legally with no piracy or torrent nonsense (you have to actually have bought the game for this to even work) in the other thread, and received a few PM's asking me how I did it. So, I threw together a quick guide on downgrading the game to 1.14 for anyone who, also like me, is impatient and just wants to play the game modded as I've been doing the past couple of days. So without further ado...
1) Download DepotDownloader, extract the files into a folder somewhere easily accessible (e.g., on your Desktop and call it "DepotDownloader")
2) Download and install .NET Core 3.1 (you probably need the x64 version)
3) Download my XV2 1.14 DepotDownloader Batch File, copy the .BAT file from the .ZIP into the folder you extracted DepotDownloader into
4) Open the XV2 1.14 DepotDownloader Batch File with Notepad (right-click on it, click 'Edit'), change "steamid" to your Steam username and "yourpasswordhere" to your Steam password, save it
5) Run the Batch File, go through the verification prompts and the download will start (NOTE: This is going to take a while. There may be points where it freezes for up to ten minutes or more, just let it do its thing and eventually it will finish. There will be no message or warning that it has finished, it will simply download everything and close the cmd window on its own so that will be your cue that it's done!)
6) Delete everything in your Xenoverse 2 Steam folder (yes, everything--your DB Xenoverse 2 folder should be empty; if anything messes up you can just redownload it from Steam after all)
7) After the download has finished, go to the DepotDownloader folder, navigate: depots -> 454651 -> 5427618 folder. This is where Xenoverse 2 1.14 downloaded to. Copy all these files into your DB Xenoverse 2 Steam folder
8) Make sure Steam is set to only update the game when you launch it from Steam (in Steam, right-click on DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2, click Properties..., Update tab, under Automatic updates, set to Only update the game when I launch it)
9) You now have a totally mod-friendly 1.14 version of the game. Enjoy!
