Downgrading#

Make sure the prerequisites are met and preparation was done. If you missed one of the steps, you may encounter issues when following the guide and won't receive support. This will not be repeated later.

Introduction: Prerequisites Preparation

Why downgrade the radio?#

In April 2018, over 50 radio station tracks were removed from the game due to expired licenses and replaced with unauthentic tracks instead.

Why downgrade the game?#

Over the years, the game received multiple game versions with many changes in-between. You may want to downgrade if one of the following applies to you:

  • You want to play official multiplayer.
  • You want to get rid of the DRM.
  • You have some specific mods in mind that don't support Complete Edition (i.e. Liberty Tweaks).
  • You want to mess around with graphical mods (i.e. ICEnhancer). I don't recommend nor support them, by the way.

However, be aware that you will miss out on some of the latest fixes, as FusionFix does not fully support downgraded versions.

To make things easier later, you should decide what do you want to downgrade right now between radio, the game version, or both.
