↩️ How to Roll Back / Downgrade

Steam: open the Steam console (steam://nav/console) and run `download_depot <appid> <depotid> <manifestid>` to download the pre-update build, then copy those files over the updated ones. Set the game to "only update when I launch" (Properties → Updates). Always back up the game folder before a patch.
