beforeĪs of now, if the manifest request code is omitted from the download url, it still works, as the Steam stable client does not have this just yet. Otherwise the content server returns an unauthorized error. If a valid request code is provided, the manifest can be downloaded. When a non-zero code is acquired, it is appended to the manifest download url. All of these parameters have to match in the current app info for it to return a valid manifest code, if something mismatches, or you don't own the game it will return AccessDenied result. This method takes app id, depot id, manifest id, branch name, and the branch password. Steam Client Beta released on Septemincluded a new method called ContentServerDirectory.GetManifestRequestCode and it is actively being used by the beta client. We hope that with this post and the press coverage it received it's been made apparent that there is additional value in allowing users to download older builds.

As a sidenote, Valve's statement goes against the fact they removed the functionality to download older depot versions from inside the Steam client last year making it only able to do so in third-party applications. We look forward to seeing changes to allow this in future beta builds. We’ll have more to share on that work when it’s ready to ship."Īs of right now Valve's statement isn't in line with these changes as manifest request codes are still not granted for any but the most recent manifest version in the appinfo. What we are working on is an approach on handling edge cases involving unowned content, and helping partners more easily take down builds that need to be removed for things like copyright issues. "We are actually not planning to disable downloading old builds.
