Anton Lavash Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Same for me, I think we just need to wait for server update, or downgrade somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil McGee Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Best bet is to wait for somebody to upload the old files and then replace them overwriting the new ones. Keep an eye on the discord helpdesk or announcement they normally post a link there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent_MadDog Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Social club will lose his game. Social club will ask you cd key again so that means you will need to buy game again. My brother tried this and now he cant play gta because he needs new key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoogeTV Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) You wont lose your game. It is only saying that it needs an activation key because you didn't download all the files and it thinks it's the hosts game still. If this does not work, Verify GTA 5 files to get back to your save so you can play and get rid of the activation code error.

John_Derson Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 The solution for non-steam version doesn't work. The RAGE Multiplayer client just freezes when trying to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyFollman Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Yeah, it's one of the most huge problem of steam. Likely for users, there is a possibility to turn off updates and play at old version, sitting offline. But there are games, where the main game process is going on servers, which need time to adapt to new version, like GTA, GarysMode. So, it can be sad, when you have some free hours, which you want to spend, playing game, but it doesn't work, because you have forgotten to turn off automatically updates. People, who buy games on sites, like https://www.cdkeysforgames.com/ , meets with this problem more often, than people, who buy games on Steam, because there is no notification about updates, during instalation of the game. Maybe anybody knows how another way of fixing of this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This at least allowed with the Casino Heist update for anyone who might have unintentionally update to roll back. Just another good reason to be in the Eclipse RP discord.

Yputi Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 not sure if this topic is still active, but I came across some intresting stuff when I tried to downgrade a game on steam (Beat Saber) a few weeks ago. Then I found out that pretty much every game version of Steam is still stored and downloadable using the Steam console. Here is a simple reddit post that explains how: So this is not only usefull for GTA, but also other steam games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
