The old way of down patching has been removed. depot_download in the steam console no longer works.
There are open source tools that get around this new change in order to download the data. https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader/releases It's slightly more complicated because you have to download the script and run it through the command line but ill go through it step by step.
you will need .net core download it here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/current/runtime
(assuming windows don't have a mac to test please go to discord and im sure we can figure something out if you can't)
1.you go to the github page link click releases and then download depotdownloader-2.3.3.zip (or the latest version if 2.3.3 is no longer the latest update later commands accordingly)
2. exctract the file and put it in your desktop so you should have an extracted "depotdownloader-2.3.3" file on your desktop.
3. then you have to navigate a command terminal to the file you extracted.
You can open a command window by hitting the windows key or hitting the windows button in the bottom left and typing "cmd" this should open a command prompt in C:\Users<your username> then to go to desktop you do "cd Desktop" then "cd depotdownloader-2.3.3" to enter the depot downloader file you extracted to your desktop
4. now you can run the "dotnet depotdownloader.dll -app <app id>(219990) -depot <depot id> -manifest <manifest id> -username <your username> -password <your password>"
if you don't want to give it your steam username/password you can create a new account with nothing just to download the stuff
now i will re-put the old manifests and depots into the new command:
Currently used manifests and commands:
Grim Dawn 1.1.3.1 <-- Used for current (as of 01-Oct-19) Normal and Ultimate FG and Normal Vanilla runs (NMG) (changelog for the main patch: patch notes ). Datetime for these varies, I presume there were no changes for AoM content in hf1, so there's no manifest present in SteamDB

General instructions for downpatching are here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/611h5e/guide_how_to_download_older_versions_of_a_game_on/ how to find depots and manifest ect.
Quick note: If you're downpatching the game on Steam I would HIGHLY recommend setting the game to update only when launched. (Right click on game name in library, Properties, Updates tab, select "Only update this game when I launch it" in the topmost box) If you see that a patch is required, switch out the downpatched version for the current patch version you've surely saved as a backup before launching the game, otherwise you'll have to do this all over again.
Not sure if this is the right place for this so please correct me if it's supposed to be else where
The new site layout/style in dark mode in my opinion seem very out of place. Specifically the top banner green color looks weird and the background seems too light. (maybe the green looks weird because of the light background or something too idk). Maybe i'm just used to the old site plus I usually don't like "modern" website design styles so I might be in the minority.
Still I feel like there are some things that are just like objectively bad though. In dark mode it's kinda hard for me to read the dark green text on the dark background, not like impossible at all or even that hard but like just that little bit. Could just be my setup or something though.
I would give an example but idk how to post pictures (maybe you can't which would be understandable) on these forms
I don't see anything in the rules about it, sorry if I missed it
by version I also mean different patches btw
