Then go ahead and download the version from this video that you want in the description and copy those files to your game folder as well, it should then work perfectly for you. The latest 1.7.36 update has changed some of the main game files, which is why the older Exe file no longer works when trying to launch it.

That was worth a subscription. I knew how to do this manually, but that totally awesome way of using Vortex to control our versions was just genius! That makes it so convenient to have version control right at your fingertips thru Vortex! I love it.
Here's how to revert your Starfield game version to fix SFSE! Should work with all future versions of the game as well! Starfield V1.7.33 depot code is now in the description as well! Like the video if it helped you! And subscribe if you're new! 🤍

Great video thanks for posting. Unfortunately, this is not working for me for this latest update. Let me be clear the depot process you outlined worked perfectly and did give me the previous .exe file. I had a backup of the exe file and have checked both the backed-up version and the version that was downloaded via the depot process and the match, however copying the file over does not allow the game to run. I am seeing a few others with the same issue.
Update: There is a fix to get the depot rollback to work in the comments on the nexus page, it finally worked for me! Im sure I did something wrong, but when i copy and paste the old version into the game directory and hit run, it never starts the game. I tried these steps three times and Im stuck. Ill try once more, but im doing a clean install of the game and verifying files, then im going to download the old depot code again and hope for the best. Thank you for the video, i just wish it was working for me! EDIT: im not the only one having this issue. On the nexus mod page for SFSE, a couple other users have reported that this trick is not working for 1.7.33
@rexhall10 No luck. Others are saying that the depot code trick isn't working for them on 1.7.33 It launches and then stops almost instantly. I've tried launching with SFSE, Starfield.exe and the vortex launcher, but no luck.
@@SixPieceNoNuggets im reinstalling game rn and going to see if replacing just exe depot without mods installed will work then maybe i can reinstall mods from there
This is absolutely awesome. I'm not sure why, but it's not working for V1.7.36 to V1.7.33 I tried a few times, if you have any suggestions that would be awesome. Have a wonderful day.
hey man the code stuff confuses me , idk if u still read comments for this vid but cud u lemme know the code for 1.14.70.0 , just bought the game and its on latest patch but seems most mods on the nexus still running on 1.14.70.0 thanks in advance
If you haven't already, try copying the codes I have in the description, they should let you download the try different version prior to this new update!
Thank you for putting this guide together. However, it does not work. Once you revert back, the game will not launch. I have tried everything, but I maybe wrong. Stuck waiting for an update for the mods 😢.
same here followed all the steps and when i try to open the game it crashes immediately and sfse just says its the wrong version no matter which depot i use. had to revalidate the game files to fix it.
just tried this and the game isn't launching. I want to just wait it out but I have no way for steam to just reinstall the update. Not sure what todo because I don't have the new exe file.
I cant get it working either, But if you want the newest version back to play, Revert any changes you made from this video from the 3:50 to the 5;10 mark. then verify your game thru steam > right click starfield > properties > installed files > verify integrity of game files
Hmmm, I'm wondering what could've caused it. I do know the Gamepass version doesn't like *most* mods, but if you're not using mods, I'm not sure what it could be
i replaced just the starfield exe and game no load when launch through sfse all my mods are set for 1.7.36 and i got the right exe so i dont understand
Bravo! You saved my gaming day - thanks for the great show & tell. My only nit to pick - I would have liked for you to show the detail of how I could see the Starfield DB page for myself - yes, I heard you say that it was for advanced users, but I wanted to see the page.
My backup when enabled in Vortex adds a 'SFSE Backup' folder with the .exes and .dll in into the Data folder rather than the main Starfield folder. Do you know what that's about and how to fix it so it adds them to the main folder?
Ok I think I figured it out, after I added the .zip to Vortex and it stored the mod in the staging folder (by default usually C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\starfield\mods), it was automatically creating a Data folder and 'SFSE Backup (1.7.29)' folder inside, instead of just the .exes and .dll. I made sure it was just the .exes and .dll in the mod folder and now it adds/deletes those in the main Starfield folder when enabled/disabled like it should.
With this last update to 1.7.36, there's some extra files that need to be replaced other than the .exe - check the pinned comment on how to fix this update
Got it working. Though its unfortunate that even going to the older versions, I still don't have the wonderful Akila puddle :p I did check and i was running version 1.7.23@@MrJays
if i do this, will i still be able to earn achivements using the baka mod, as its not updated yet? like, will this still connect to steam online and let them sync up?
Yep! With this, you just revert your gam version back, and revert your SFSE version back, and all of the mods you were previously using still work, and you get achievements as well!
forgive my ignorance because I have not done this before. Can this be used to revert a version without using SFSE? And how would I then launch the game without it breaking? I want to revert to the version just before the 1.7.33 update. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!
Hi! So, if you wanted to use this to revert you game back to the previous version without needing SFSE, you would follow up to about 3:33. It would be the same process of downloading the new .exe from the depot, and replacing the main .exe in your folders, you just wouldn't need to worry about SFSE after that. And the code you need to download the version before 1.7.33 is in the description as well, so just download the 1.7.29 version using that code, and drag the new .exe just like I do in the video, and that should revert your game back :D Hope this helps!
@@MrJays It does! I'll give it a try. It sounds silly but will this allow for the ship vender credit glitch with the chest again? My 5 year old son loves building and rebuilding ships with me and I was hoping to keep that going to have fun with him.
@@adamk8376 So, I believe it may revert that fix as well, you may have to test that out. But if that glitch is still fixed even after reverting the game version, I'd drag all of the files from the new depot into your steam folder and try again, because they have have updates certain parts of models, or parts of the world to fix that. so it may require the entire depot instead of just the .exe. Hope that helps as well :)
@@MrJays Reverted back from 1.7.33 to 1.7.29 - didn't bring back the puddles-glitch or the glitch with the chest after going through the wall in Stroud-Eklund-station. Even tried loading my oldest save to check; still gone.
