Downgrade Tutorial - Pixeluted/KrampUI GitHub Wiki

How to downgrade roblox while krampus is not updated?

This question is asked a lot, so I decided to make a simple tutorial for this (well simple if you have more than 3 working brain cells)

This tutorial will involve 3 steps:

  1. Obtaining the right version hash
  2. Downloading the right version
  3. Replacing files in your roblox directory

1. Obtaining the right version hash

Firstly we need to get the version hash of the version before roblox updated, there are lot of ways to do this but I will use the most reliable one.

We will use the DeployHistory.txt to get the right version hash, so visit it here: https://setup.rbxcdn.com/DeployHistory.txt

DeployHistory.txt is basically list of all versions roblox ever released.

Once you visited the site, scroll down all the way down and then look at the entries image

And we will see something like this, these entries tell us what type of roblox was released, when they were released and most importantly tell us their version hash.

We need to make sure you are looking for the right roblox release type, so here is list of them:

Types of roblox releases

  1. WindowsPlayer - Roblox Game Client for Windows
  2. Studio64 - Roblox Studio for Windows
  3. MacPlayer - Roblox Game Client for Mac
  4. MacStudio - Roblox Studio for Mac

We are interested in WindowsPlayer, which is the classic web client for windows. There are quite lot of them because roblox usually updates every wednesday

I have highlighted few version releases for the WindowsPlayer so you can get idea of how they look image

Now let's locate current roblox release, we can do this simply by looking at the latest WindowsPlayer release. So in our case, it is this one image

You can also locate it by looking at the release date.

However to verify if this is the current version, we need to check if this version is on the LIVE build channel

To do this copy the version hash.

The version hash is the "version-" thingy we see right after the release type image

So let's type down the version hash of the version we saw as the latest one: version-7d64f40489634ca5 (THIS IS JUST EXAMPLE, DO NOT USE MINE)

We will use Roblox API to see the version hash of latest version on the LIVE build channel, so visit this page: https://clientsettings.roblox.com/v2/client-version/WindowsPlayer/channel/LIVE

As you can see they match, so this is inneed the latest roblox version

image

If your one didn't match, just copy the clientVersionUpload from the API and find it in DeployHistory.txt site (use CTRL + F).

Now that we identified latest roblox version hash, we can get the one before roblox updated, this is usually the one right before it. image

Copy this version hash and now we can move onto downloading the right version.

2. Downloading the right version

To download the right version for our downgrade we will use this site called rdd.latte.to

Please visit it here: https://rdd.latte.to/ (if the site is down you can use https://rdd.pixeluted.com too)

On this site, all we need to do is paste the version hash we got from step 1 and just click download image

Once you click download, you will need to wait for it download and once it is done, you will be asked on where to save it.

I recommend saving it on desktop since its going to be easier to work with. image

Now that we have the downloaded version here, we will extract it to a normal folder with 7zip or winrar (doesnt matter which one) And you will end up with this folder

image

You can now delete the .zip file since it's going to be useless.

We can now move to the step 3 of Replacing files in your roblox directory

3. Replacing files in your roblox directory

Firstly make sure your roblox is updated to the latest version! You can do this by opening roblox

Now we need to locate folder where are you roblox versions stored, which will depend on if you are using bloxstrap or not:

Without bloxstrap: C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions

With bloxstrap: C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Local\Bloxstrap\Versions

Now that you are in versions folder, locate the folder with the name of the latest roblox version hash. In my case it's this one: image

Now open the folder and delete everything there image

Now copy all files in the folder we downloaded in step 2 image

And paste it into the folder we just deleted all files from image

And you have successfully downgraded roblox! You should now be able to use krampus again until it updates!

After krampus updates, you can either delete the folder we just pasted files into

Or if you use bloxstrap, you can go into bloxstrap menu -> behaviour -> toggle force roblox reinstallation image

IF YOU GET ERROR "YOUR ROBLOX VERSION SEEMS TO BE OUT OF DATE", THEN ROBLOX FORCED NEW VERSION AND YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR KRAMPUS TO UPDATE!
