How do I get the updates of the depot downloader. cuz I wanna downgrade to 1.4.4.1 cuz its the current mobile version. So I can crossplay with mobile
the latest version in the downloader for me is 1.4.3.6
I'm very confused on what do you when you get the please launch game from steam client, can somebody help me
Sorry to possibly be a bother, but every time i go to select download on a file. The screen only flickers, and when i checked the log all i get is that the download prompt has started. In settings i have my exact information correct even logging out of steam to confirm, so im not sure about what the problem is.
edit: i could be wrong but i think i tried both trouble shooting methods unless i misunderstood it. Forgot to put that in the original post.

So, I successfully downloaded terraria 1.1.2. When I click singleplayer I am greeted with this. Where did the "create" option go? Is this fixable?
(\Documents\My Games\Terraria)
to a different location for safe keeping. Then try and reload the game back up. You will have to create a new player and a new world. If this fixes your issue let me know and I will be happy to update the troubleshooting.I have checked all of the sections none of them are seeming to work, ive even tried reinstalling, I cant get a solution no.Have you checked out all the sections on the troubleshooting section? If this issue is still persisting, I'm more then happy to help find a solution over on discord:D.RUSS#2430
Tried using this, but it just won't do anything. I try to install any version, the command prompt will appear, but then disappear right after "Logging in (name) into Steam3" with nothing downloaded. It will say that the download prompt has started, but then nothing after.
I have the correct information put in, right .NET version, I tried reading through the troubleshooting and the rest of the thread to find a solution, but nothing posted has worked.

(Or check out the Overwrite Steam Directory feature)Steam allows the downloading of previous game versions through the use of depots. Depots are a collection of files pertaining to a group; for steam, the game Terraria. When a game gets updated, steam archives each patch as something called a manifest ID. Using steam console and the correct manifest ID, you can downgrade/download any game version that you own on your account. Using an open source utility called DepotDownloader, you can download depots with a lot more flexibility.
Included in this application's directory is a file namedManifestVersions.cfg
. This file is in charge of all the game versions and their data which is loaded into the program. This can be updated to include future versions or previously unknown earlier versions of the game without the need to download a new tool version.

Why this is happening?
Built into Windows 10, is something called Windows Defender SmartScreen. Each time an application is ran Windows 10, SmartScreen will check if it is a “good” application against their catalog of applications. It’s a good security measure and is particular helpful at stopping malware spreading through email attachments – where some users do not understand the difference between a legitimate document and an application. Sometimes SmartScreen will prevent applications you know are not bad – for example, it’s a CMD or VBS script you wrote, or a program from a trusted source.

Thank you so much for this, for now at least, maybe Red someday will give us access to the older versions. Do you think the 1.0 versions of the game will be available in the future?
Yeah i eventually realised i could put it in offline mode otherwise it'd updatePreventing automatic game updates for steam used to be as simple as disabling them. Now steam makes you do this per game. Goto Library > Terraria > Properties. Find the drop down for automatic updates and set it to "Only update this game when I launch it". Another option is to launch steam in offline mode. Hopefully this helps.
For the 1.4.4. update, I too noticed it hung onZombie_92.xnb
for anout three seconds. Let it sit for a short while and it will finish downloading.
