Steam adds support for branch-specific Workshop mod versions

This should save mod authors and users a huge headache due to not needing to worry about updates breaking everything*.

  • Provided the developer has enabled and set up the relevant feature set.

    Not all games make it easy for people to get access to old versions via the beta system. Some, you just have to go the appid for the specific version and access it via the steam console. It would be nice if this encourages more game devs to enable beta versions for at least the most commonly used versions for mods.

      Yeah but that’s on game devs to enable it. A lot of devs don’t want to because they have deal with people complaining about bugs and issues on older versions that are already fixed in newer versions.
