Using DepotDownloaderMod to manually update your Steam games

  • Get DepotDownloaderMod and unpack it anywhere (+ install required .Net runtime if you don't have it on your system). 
  • Get manifests for your game and put them into DepotDownloaderMod folder. Encrypted manifests obtained with SMD will do as long as you have valid depot keys.
  • Unpack _download_depot_bat-cs.rin.ru.7z (password is at the end of filename after -) with sample depot keys supplemental file to DepotDownloaderMod folder. 
  • Edit _download_depot.bat (game_folder, game_id variables)
  • Drag manifest files you want to download onto _download_depot.bat in File Explorer or launch _download_depot.bat from command line with depot files as arguments like
    _download_depot.bat *.manifest
