Update: On August 18th, 2020, Moguri version 8.2.1.2 was released. Sadly, it breaks Steam's controller support, which in turn means Steam Remote Play is also broken.
On August 6th, 2020, an update was release for Final Fantasy 9 on Steam. This broke Moguri Mod.
Read below for instructions on how to downgrade FF9 and Moguri Mod.
- Uninstall Moguri Mod.
- Uninstall FF9 on Steam.
- Remove any
steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\folder. - Re-install FF9 on Steam.
- Verify it's working by booting the game and loading a save.
At this point you should be back to stock Final Fantasy 9. Now we'll need to downgrade:
-
Open Powershell (or Command Prompt) and do:
cd Downloads\depotdownloader-2.3.6 .\depotdownloader.bat -app 377840 -depot 377842 -manifest 6513325078397675727 -username MY_STEAM_USERNAMEOf course, replace
MY_STEAM_USERNAMEwith the username you use to log in to Steam.This will download the previous version of FF9 to
Downloads\depotdownloader-2.3.6\depots\377842\5378074 -
Once that's finished, copy all the files downloaded by DepotDownloader to your
steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\folder, overwriting everything that already exists. -
Verify it's working by booting the game and loading a save.
At this point, you should be running the version of FF9 prior to the August 2020 update. Now, we need to install the old version of Moguri:
- Download and extract Moguri Mod 8.0.
- Double-click
MoguriMod_8.0.1.0.exeand install as normal. - Verify it's working by booting the game and loading a save.
At this point you're done. You have an older version of FF9 and Moguri. Enjoy!
This is all thanks to Steam providing downloads for older versions. This will work for most any release on there, and comes in handy when unexpected updates break mods. Here are some instructions on how to find the app, depot, and manifest ids used for DepotDownloader.
