Thanks, I've added Vampyr, and also Pure Pool based on research i've done recently. For anyone curious:

 

Pure Pool  |  The single player is very difficult & unfair, but v1.00 has 2 benefits: the AI seems a bit easier (source) and there's a minor visual aid to help make better shots (source). Note that the disc version seems to come pre-patched; the only confirmed reversion used the digital version.

 

FYI: Vampyr has been patched so presumably Disc only now. (1.09) i think

Digital games can be  reverted to v1.0 using this guide:

Hive: Altenum Wars (both lists), one of the latest patches broke the trophy GOOD DAY.

Little addendum for Divinity original sin 2, I'm playing it currently and the latest version still has a gold exploit, just not the same as the one described in this thread. I see no need to downgrade for this one.

 

If you want me to explain it I'll try to be quick: In act 1 there's an NPC called Unnis ( her ), she has a unique item called "Unnis pouch". There are many ways to get it, through dialog, or steal it from her, or kill and drop... Once you have it, fill it with all your gold, give it to a companion, then dismiss this companion: he gives you back the gold, plus the pouch still full of gold, essentially doubling your gold, then rinse and repeat.

 

Others exploits that currently works if you want:

- "Infinite" attributes, combat and civil ability points: You need your character to be in a ‘’leveled up’’ state (yellow arrow on top left corner of his portrait). On the Lady Vengeance (so earliest after finishing act 1), go to the respec mirror in the lower deck, make sure you spend all your attribute, combat and civil ability points, and take those two talents: Bigger and Better and All Skilled Up. Save your character, go back to the mirror, spend your extra points and save again. Now again on the mirror, take the two talents away: you should see your attributes and ability points have jumped to 225 which is more than enough to max out every stats, this is because taking away the talents takes back the points, but since the points are at 0 they go into negatives so they somehow roll back to max. If you only have one talent point, do the two talents separately.

 

- Infinite talent points: this one is trickier, later in the game, and needs later patches because it requires an armor added through an update. You need to get the Devourer's Eminence in act 3, and I'm not sure you can get it if you haven't done the earlier parts of the quest which is very long: walkthrough

Anyway when you have it, go to the respec mirror on the Lady Vengeance, make sure you have only one point invested in the warfare ability (decrease to minimum then add one point yourself, if you have extra points from armor, it doesn't count so no need to get naked), save your character, go back to the mirror, decrease your warfare by one point, then increase it again right away. Go check your talent page, you should have 1 extra point (this is because the leggings gives the talent picture of health for free, which should have a requirement 1 point in warfare, but when you are in the mirror page the game thinks you effectively have this talent on your character, and if you lose the stat requirement, it reimburses the talent point). Save your character, then rinse and repeat for as many talent points as you may want.

 

- Pass through doors and thin walls: Hug the door or wall you want to go through, have a item by your side, preferably a big one like a barrel or box so it's easier to grab. Go into cursor mode by pressing L3 and activate tactical view with Up button, now what you want to do is to pick up the item by clicking on it with square and select pick up, and then quickly push your cursor to the other side of the door and click with X so your character moves where you click. If done correctly your character should go through while he's in the pick up animation. The best use you can do with that is to snatch barrels of deathfog in the intro (one time use, one hit kill gas, works on any living creature, not the undead) without the kraken to wreck them all as its script only triggers if you open the door, it can also be used on impossible to lockpick doors, hidden walls etc... just be careful as a lot of times, scripts are tied to doors opening, so it may break quests and even the whole game in some places so use at your own risk.

Corrected second exploit and added reason

[shary96]

Tank Mechanic Simulator (both lists), patch 1.07 broke all the " You've fully renovated..." trophies.

 

 

Generation Zero, patch 1.31 broke the trophy Siren Call.

 

Animal Super Squad (both lists), patch 1.04 borked a bunch of trophies.

 

 

[tom_waits]

Total Jigsaw has three glitched trophies in the current 1.05 update. Serial Puzzler Bronze, Serial Puzzler Silver, and Serial Puzzler Gold. By reverting to v. 1.0, the first two trophies can be unlocked. Sadly, Serial Puzzler Gold seems to be glitched in both 1.0 and 1.05. People were getting the trophy back in 2017, so there may have been updates in between where the trophy was working.

[NMErickson]

Apparently it’s a big grind to get money for all upgrades in Arcade Paradise (PS4/PS5) but you can save a lot of time by using an exploit with an unpatched version. I recently got the PS5 disc and am curious about this. It did have an update so figure just need to pause/cancel update. I haven’t tested anything or even started the game yet (besides, going to start patched) but figured it was worth mentioning.

Orbis Patches has multiple patches available for each version, so you could use the Charles Proxy method (pretty sure there's a thread in Mad Max and FF15 about how to use it).  Weirdly the latest EU patch is 1.07

[shary96]

Total Jigsaw, patch 1.05 broke the three "Serial Puzzler" trophies.

 

 

Dakar 18 (both versions), the game apparently had a good bunch of patches that fixed and glitched several trophies. The latest one, patch 2.01, has two broken trophies, so the only way to plat the game is switching between different patches every time.

12/21/22: Potentially reserving this post for Sol Cresta. The newest patch makes the hardest trophy in the game even harder. 

[Point8Nate]

Regarding Beat Saber, it seems some of the v1.00 trophies are all over the place, in a way that could be more exploitable than previously mentioned. I just unlocked Hope (S rank of 15 different Expert levels) whilst playing Hard mode. I haven't even touched Expert yet. 

 

I saw that practice mode ranks and Max combo scores were retained on the free play screen even after leaving practice mode, so thought I might be able to get the S rank trophies at 0.5x speed cos I suck. Got 15 S ranks on Hard all in practice mode, but Precision didn't unlock, so I got to work on the S ranks normally, and Hope unlocked after the first S rank on $100 bills. 

[Point8Nate]

More findings on Beat Saber, it's a double edged sword, and a wonky ass one at that. 

 

After yesterday's discovery that I could unlock an expert based trophy on hard mode, I sought to do the same for "No Mistakes" (15 full combos on Expert") using the same method that unexpectedly popped Hope. I got 15 full combos in practice on Hard mode at 0.5x speed, then one legit full combo, lo and behold a silver trophy popped, but it wasn't No Mistakes, it was Drumkit. So it appears that the combo trophies stay in their own lane when it comes to difficulty. 

 

Now the bad news, I went after the rest of the legitimate S ranks on Hard mode for the Precision trophy, got them.... aaaand nothing. 

 

I'd just recommend playing this on current patch to be honest. 

 

Edit: Behold my third and final day of Beat Saber v1.00 findings. No Mistakes pops the same way as Drum kit. 15 full combos in practice at 0.5x speed, followed by one legitimate full combo pops the trophy, very simple.

 

However, in getting the 15 full combos, I also got 15 S ranks, and the legitimate full combo was also an S rank. Figuring that doing this on Hard had previously unlocked the Expert S rank trophy, I sort of expected this to pop "Precision" thinking the difficulty requirements were somehow tangled up. But again it didn't pop. So then I tried 15 S ranks on Normal, given that Hope unlocked on the difficulty below maybe the same was true for Precision, again no dice. 

 

Eventually just decided to download the patch and Precision unlocked on the first S rank I got on Hard. 

 

So to summarise v1.00 can make Hope, No Mistakes and Drumkit much easier to achieve, but makes Precision seemingly glitched beyond reach.

Didn't want to triple post.

Guess you can add subnautica now. The new patch made it Impossible to get the platinum with the cheat menu. I'll try using the downgrade method

[GanseySargent]

It seems the base death gambit game was replaced by the afterlife version in the PS store. Does the debug still works?

[HuntingFever]

The latest patch for Habroxia 2 (PS4 and PS5 only), fixes an exploit that makes the new DLC much easier so downgrade to the previous version to use it.

Edited January 22, 2023 by HuntingFever
Update.

[marco2001zecc]

The Ooh! Secrets! trophy in Defunct became unobtainable and the other three trophies related to secrets popped in the wrong secret locations after the patch. Downgrading back to 1.00 made it obtainable again.

[VaDiMkA]

Chroma Squad EU Version can be added. 

The 1.03 patch made most of the trophies unattainable. Which the downgrade to 1.00, so far i managed to get EVERY trophy for the first season (aka the first chapter of the game).

[meterano7]

Would we count Assassins Creed Odyssey? There has been an XP exploit (the teabagging one) in the 1.0 version that has been fixed later on.

[MrTacos98]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but the Rocket League achievement "Stocked" is way easier on version 1.00 because all you have to do is complete 200 games for the trophy. 

 

Just disconnect your PS from the internet and download this disc version completely offline and it will work. Set it to one goal per game and it takes roughly 1 and a half to 2 hours.

DJMax Respect has obtained a new glitch in its 1.31 patch (1.43 for JP/AS) which greatly simplifies AI missions by removing the AI entirely. This will likely get patched soon enough since there's also a save corruption glitch from the same update which the dev team is working on fixing, so it's best to try to get the update links now while it's still possible.

Update on this: the 1.32 patch is out (1.37 for JP/1.44 for AS) and while it fixes the save corruption glitch, the AI glitch is notably not fixed, so that's the version you will want to target to minimize risk.

[lbadplaay]

Can someone please help me find the links for the FFXV 1.18 update for the JP and AS stack ? 

 

Thank you in advance !!

I'm a little late to the party, but how about Fallout: New Vegas? There is a glitch pretty early on involving the Primm casino that was patched out. Basically once you get it going, you buy as many chips as you can, sell them back then repeat. The game says it takes them away but it doesn't. After a while you can eventually get more money than you'll ever need for the game.

 

Only downside is that it will most likely require a fresh start to work properly.
