The Fun Pimps and Behaviour Interactive news

I just hope that you can still play earlier alphas, rather than forcing you to update to the latest version. I cannot think of any other game that I have ever played that I could play previous versions of. Back in the day of retail boxed games, if you updated your game with a game killing patch you could just reinstall the game. With digital download you might get a game that has already been updated 20 times or whatever and its hard to say if any of these updates kill the game or not. I think the FPs allowing you to play previous versions is a good selling point for the game

Just in case I downloaded pretty much all the older versions and keep them in a folder called Vanilla (do not touch) :)
I have a few of them copied under a C:\7DTD folder that I can mod and play around with as I want.

I couldn't get a version 6 for some reason and have read other had the same problem.
They take up a fair bit of room though lol.

I just have 1.4 on a separate drive and Steam in offline mode. Just to be safe, I have backed it up with drive image software every day for about 2 months, so now I have about 500gb of drive image data. I got the idea on how to do this from someone on this board.
 
I have my prior versions, backed up the same way as @Gamida, on an external drive.

When transposing between, a new update, I just rename the present playable 7dtd
to the Alpha version. beta number, and download the update. Since, I start it from the
exe directly, I can flip back and forth between them, after a test play, I just rename the
one I am not going to use to it's Alpha beta and Move it to the backup folder.
