Tool TerrariaDepotDownloader - Downgrade To ANY Version!

I've entered my correct creds and installed everything I need to, but the console still closes immediately after I press "download" and nothing happens.

My question is can this handle multiple versions of tmod as well as vanilla like MultiMC.

This application was only set up to download vanilla base versions of the game. Using the config I suppose you can add TMod versions too.

Have you looked through and tried all of the troubleshooting on the front page?
 
Thank you, I can use it now. However once I switch back to 1.4, it resets all of my settings and disables all resource packs. Is there a way to prevent this?

This is caused by older versions of the game using older configuration settings that may or may not exist. And yes, this can be prevented by making a backup of your Terraria configuration file.
Default location: C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Terraria\config.json

Have you tried checking the troubleshooting on the main page. What version of DepotDownloader.dll do you have? I know they recently just pushed an update. This application should have prompted you to update it if not - It should automatically download and install it.

This application allows you to downgrade your game to any of the past game versions where the steam manifest IDs are known.
This application is NOT a pirate tool and requires users to already own the game.

(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 named ManifestVersions.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.

Note to Terraria's team: I have created this courtesyware in hopes to diminish pirating and bring easability to downgrading. If their is any issues with this tool please do not hessitate to contact me. I've recently made this software completely open source and will comply with any requests.
Huge thanks to the open source project DepotDownloader

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.
