This guide will help you through the process of using DepotDownloader[github.com] to download old versions of Magicite. If you want to play multiplayer, you can use this guide to revert to older, more stable versions of the game considering the latest version (2.0) is a buggy mess in multiplayer. The process is very simple and shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Download the latest version of DepotDownloader from GitHub
Download Here[github.com]
On this page, scroll down and click on the .zip file under "assets" to download DepotDownloder.

After downloading, locate the file in your downloads folder, right click and extract it.

Open the extracted folder. Inside this folder hold shift and right click to access the "Open PowerShell window here" option.

In PowerShell you will enter a command to download a specific version of Magicite.
Replace "[manifest]" with your desired magicite version's manifest. Below I have included a manifest for every previous public version of the game. (If you're getting any errors, you may need to install .NET, see "Encountering Errors" section)

(all versions have bugs, but any version other than 2.0 will be better for multiplayer, 1.5 may be less buggy than 1.6 but I'm not sure. Try a different version if you're having problems with one)

You will also replace "[your steam username]" with your steam username, obviously, as well as your password for the password input.

After executing the command, if you have steam guard enabled you will have to enter your steam guard code.

Download Magicite

After downloading, a new folder will have been created

Inside the "depots" folder, "268751" folder and following folder, you should see the Magicite game files.

At this point you have downloaded your desired version of Magicite and there are no further essential steps. The next steps will go through the process of re-positioning the folder and adding the game version to the steam library.

You may freely move the game files to wherever you find convenient (the ".DepotDownloader" folder is not part of the game files so you do not need it).

To add the game version to your steam library, go to your library and at the bottom left select the "add a game" button.

Select "Add a Non-Steam Game..."
An "Add a Game" window should appear. At the bottom, click "browse" and locate the folder where you've kept the Magicite version. Select "Magicite" and click "open." Then select "Add Selected Programs" to add it to your library.

You can change the name of the game by right clicking it on the sidebar in the library and selecting "properties" in the dropdown bar. You will then be able to edit the name. You can also add a custom logo or background by right clicking on the empty background.

You have downloaded an old version of Magicite! You can now get your friends together and play a less buggy version of the game.

If you are encountering errors, you can try other manifests. If you go to the manifest page for Magicite on SteamDB[steamdb.info], you can try those and see if they work for you. There are also more manifests you could try in the "history" tab on the left of the page.

To figure out which manifest pairs with your desired version of the game, just go to the update news page for Magicite and look for manifest changes that occurred around the time of the update.

This error likely means dotnet is not installed on your computer. To install it, go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download and download "NET Runtime" and select the 64-bit (x64) or 32-bit (x86) version according to your system (if you're unsure, your best bet is the "x64" version)

Once the file is downloaded, open it and go through the installation process. Once it is complete, you should be able to execute the command.
