Maybe Sony's titles are just programmed to never download a lower version, I don't remember trying a lower version of another digital game, I guess I'll follow instructions for something else and see. Hopefully it would work for Surgeon Simulator since that did have glitches on it that were positive, it also goes on near-enough every sale so it will end up being really cheap eventually.

This method also doesn't work to go back to a version 1.00, right? You need to replace one patch with another, IIRC. I did read about a method to skip patching altogether, but it requires a slightly different method. Maybe I'll look into this a bit further. But now it's getting to be more and more of a gray area...

Maybe that affects downgrading it, it's hard to say. I'm not sure if there's a .json file that reverts a game back to version 1.00, but most games seem to also get released with day 1 patches on PS4 as it is.

I can't say I'm that engaged in proxy servers to pay for Charles. Unfortunately with this, it seems like only disc versions work for the games and online modes don't work, since the game automatically realises it's on a lower version after the download has finished. This helps with games that are single player only that may have had patches that broke trophies, or patches that stopped easy methods from being used for trophies. I've found this and it contains the code for a lot of different games and their old versions: https://xn--xce.cc/pkgWIP.txt I grabbed Injustice 2's 1.09 from there to see if I could downgrade it within 30 minutes and I was lucky enough to be able to do that . U should test and see mico machine can be downgrade on disk. And if u can pop that unobtainable trophy that last update broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) I have the patch file stopped, so I don’t have to worry about not getting those trophies that are glitched. But since you need to be connected online to earn that gold trophy, I think it’s better to either wait for another patch to come or just skip this game altogether.

I hear Surgeon Simulator is pretty difficult with a lot of luck involved to A++ all those surgeries. Beforehand from what I’ve read on these forums you were only required to do a few of them.

Removing the patch would allow the alien surgeries to be mostly skipped, just doing one of them would be enough for the trophy of doing all of them. Or something like this, I haven't played the game yet. Don't see a lot of point in doing something the hardest way when there is an easier way to do it, no point in adding extra suffering where you can avoid it.

MennoWoods2 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I would like to start Mad Max, but after seeing this I'm really thinking not to do it. I got the digital version and when it starts downloading should I just stop downloading when it reaches 'Ready to Play' so no updates are downloaded. Would that work?

Definitely a game that is a lot of fun with friends, especially when drunk. Although I personally prefer games that test my skill rather than my patience with RNG. 2 hours ago, alanhoutman2 said: I would like to start Mad Max, but after seeing this I'm really thinking not to do it.

I think you need the physical version. I still have this game with only version 1.04, but I’m still hesitant to start with knowing the possibility of the challenges being glitched.

Dante_Vergili Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 On 02.09.2018 at 2:11 PM, HusKyCode said: TL;DR Patch v1.05 broke the game and makes the Platinum unobtainable. However, it's possible to "downgrade" your game to v1.04 and get the trophies with your current save file and without replaying major part of the game. The save file created by v1.05 is still compatible with v1.04. This is not a game hack or anything like that, you will still need to do those races just like everyone else, except they will load now. Before you start Read this guide from start to finish at least once before attempting it. The procedure is fairly technical and might not be easy to do for everyone. It takes about 30 minutes to do. More if you are doing this with digital download. I used physical disc. Digital can also be downgraded. I have done only partial testing - see my post below. Further confirmation and full digital downgrade done by CoffeePS. Instructions for digital version by /r/sdrawkcaBdaeRnaCuoY from reddit. These instructions follow the steps in this guide. The basic idea is to block v1.05 update and instead make the PS4 download v1.04. Once it finishes the download (it's only 406MB, not crazy 13GB!), disconnect from network, start the game and get those last 2 races done. Steps For spoofing the request, I used Charles Proxy which acts as a MITM and allows overriding URLs in HTTP requests. Go ahead and install it, it's free for 30 days. Start Charles on your computer. Write down your computers local IP address. It will be something like "192.168.0.5" or similar. Go to Proxy settings (little cog wheel) and enable transparent proxy: Go to your PS4 network settings and setup network. Either Wi-Fi or Wired works. Choose "Custom", set everything to default until you reach "Proxy" settings. Set the IP from step 2 and in the port field, type "8888" (default port for Charles unless you changed it). Test your connection in PS4, it should work and also the requests should start appearing in Charles app window. Insert Mad Max physical disc, it should start downloading v1.05 patch right away. Watch closely requests in Charles window, one of them will be to: "EP1018-CUSA00054_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0105-V0100.json" This is "CUSA00054" - EU version ... or ... "UP1018-CUSA00103_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0105-V0100.json" This is "CUSA00103" - US version This JSON file contains description of the update and tells PS4 where the actual patch files are. You will need to map this request from v1.05 JSON to v1.04 JSON. Right click on the request, choose "Map Remote..." Full URLs are: CUSA00054: 1.05: http://gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net/gs2/ppkgo/prod/CUSA00054_00/6/f_97d15d69ba0f556e266cbe147bcc5f441129d7612790c4f11fa803ba2aa34783/f/EP1018-CUSA00054_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0105-V0100.json 1.04: http://gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net/gs2/ppkgo/prod/CUSA00054_00/4/f_e10df9794afb8f99c4be4537f4be04167f1c88159890bec7517933880efb39b5/f/EP1018-CUSA00054_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0104-V0100.json CUSA00103: 1.05: http://gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net/gs2/ppkgo/prod/CUSA00103_00/6/f_3c5cb680eee96ed7c26268e6ff07f6c79169f78dfb99b1e5ce0fd86dc102693e/f/UP1018-CUSA00103_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0105-V0100.json 1.04: http://gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net/gs2/ppkgo/prod/CUSA00103_00/4/f_a90fdddaca54f73a9a20e513a3836513a40e70e6d1d2437a832ce9ea90ee0244/f/UP1018-CUSA00103_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0104-V0100.json The window looks like this: "Map From" will be prefilled with v1.05 (A0105) patch URL: You will need to fill "Map To" values with v1.04 (A0104) patch URL: Protocol: http Host: gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net Port: 80 Path: /gs2/ppkgo/prod/CUSA00054_00/4/f_e10df9794afb8f99c4be4537f4be04167f1c88159890bec7517933880efb39b5/f/EP1018-CUSA00054_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0104-V0100.json ... or ... /gs2/ppkgo/prod/CUSA00103_00/4/f_a90fdddaca54f73a9a20e513a3836513a40e70e6d1d2437a832ce9ea90ee0244/f/UP1018-CUSA00103_00-MADMAXTHEGAME001-A0104-V0100.json Go back to your PS4, stop the download, delete the game and reinsert your MM physical disc. It will once again start downloading patches but this time it will download v1.04 - it should be 406MB and should only take couple minutes to download. Your PS4 will be confused and say it just downloaded v1.05, this is OK. Once the download is done, it might start downloading actual v1.05. Make sure to block that patch. Personally, I closed Charles app as well as disconnected from internet via PS4 settings. Start the game, it should verify your PS4 save file just fine. Once you try to load your save file, it might be still installing from the disc so let that finish as well. Get your last couple races done and celebrate your new shiny platinum. Pro tips You can manage your remote mappings via Tools > Map Remote (Ctrl + Alt + M / Cmd + Alt + M) (thx @Sergen) It's possible to setup remote mapping before you insert the disc for the very first time and this will save you about 5 minutes. I'd only recommend this for advanced users who have done this before. Hey man! I have a trouble.. Maybe i toch "Map From..." and now i have downloading error. Game cant download and show me CE-36246-1 error. What happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImStylinOnYaBro Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 does anyone have any idea why it said "calculating" for the download and soon said "cannot download"? i then restarted the process later in the day and downloads just immediately say "cannot download" even though it connects proper.

TedQuinlan Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Man, I've been reading this thread for days now ... just finished all the tasks in 1.05 yesterday, came home today, got ready to downgrade to 1.04 using the method showed by HusKyCode and then ... BOOM ... 1.06 hits my PS4! I finished the last two races and finally got Platinum. Really cool timing I'd say ... anyway, thanks for the great guide and effort ... technically really interesting and maybe of big use in the future ....

Han_the_Dragon Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 OK, maybe I will re-add the game to my backlog.. But I will wait until people find what they screwed up this time.. Not going to risk any headaches to play this game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DysectorZA Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 WOW! I'm quite impressed, they seemed to fix the death race issue. Does anyone know if patch 1.06 fixes the 192/191 Scavenger locations glitch at all? I have yet to start Mad Max, but when I last checked my version was still on 1.04.
