Downpatching the game using the Steam console (Load Remover fix)
Updated 2 years ago by Murihoro

Recently, the latest update of Transistor broke our load remover. As the community is not the most active one, and the load remover was complicated to create in the first place, an easy and quick way to make it work again is to roll back to the previous version of the game through the Steam Console. The game will be identical to the latest version, and the load remover will work. This guide is adapted from this Hollow Knight guide.

v1.1: added the Steam patcher to re-enable this method

(0. Make a backup of all the files in Steam/steamapps/common/Transistor but don't delete them)

  1. You need to download the Steam patcher here. This file is safe, and made by a person of trust, here is the GitHub page of the patcher if you want to check it yourself.
  2. After having opened Steam, launch the downloaded executable to patch it. You'll need to do this again every time you restart your computer or Steam and want to downpatch.

You can now proceed normally:

  1. Press Win+R to bring up the run menu and type in "steam://nav/console" to access the Steam console.
  2. Enter the following command into the console:

download_depot 237930 237933 8900471598185769028

  1. Wait until the download is complete: there will be no indication of progress within the client until the end.
  2. A directory will be printed into the Steam console at the end of the download: move all the newly downloaded games files from here to the game folder and choose "replace" for every pre-existing file.
  3. Launch the game through Steam as normal: the game should be on the previous patch.
