Using DepotDownloader to play older versions of Party Animals

PCGJ3764

Hello, is it allowed to use the DepotDownloader program on PC to play older versions of the game? And will my account be safe from bans?

HelpWithCN There was only one build of the game from 2020 allowed me to bypass login by playing locally, but any other version above that will not allow me past the splash screen.

ZoiDUX To clarify, you can’t get any limited edition skins this way. Even if you do, it won’t transfer to the current version.

ZoiDUX I have a YouTube tutorial that can help you, but you must be on a Windows PC, it can be Windows 10 or 11, and you must own the game. Attempting to download the game at all using DepotDownloader not owning the game will give you an error. You'll also need to download a Microsoft developer framework since DepotDownloader does not have a user friendly GUI, it only functions in the Windows command prompt or Terminals.

The .Net 9.0 Microsoft Framework required for DepotDownloader to function properly

Download the GitHub release of DepotDownloader

Use SteamDB as instructed in the video to find the data required to install different versions of party animals
