PC Any ways to play older versions instead of 8.8?

[Kangur]

I was just wondering if there was a way to play older versions of 7D2D instead of just playing 8.8-19. So if anybody knows how to play versions older then what Steam has that would be nice.

After reading about the method in that thread don't forget to read the last few messages in that thread too. Someone claims that it is no longer possible the way it is described because of changes to steam and you need a special program for it. It still would be nice if someone first tries the old method and posts hard evidence of it working or not. Then maybe also post if and how it works with the special program if there is anything non-trivial about it.

I first tried using the Steam Console but that didn't work, Next I tried steamcmd but it didn't work either, my last attempt was DepotDownloader, but it didn't work either and these 3 have the same problem which is the manifest part. Any ideas?

I tried the steam console a month ago and I could download even older versions. I don't know how it works now.
