You just go to steamdb, grab the numbers for the version you want, go to steam console, download it, then replace the files. So not exactly dumb person easy, but pretty damn easy once you figure out how to do it. I've done it a bunch of times. It always works.
Yeah, to me that files under "doable" and not "smooth and easy", but everyone has a personal definition of those I guess.
Yeah, I would say "easy" means its achievable wiyhout leaving the launcher, and using only the mouse / menu system.
Yea. Fair enough. I mean it takes like 10 minutes of research and then it's easy in my opinion. It's subjective haha. The important thing is you can do it without needing any crazy workarounds.
Easy for you perhaps, but for Johnny NoThumbs and Timmy Fortnite, this would complicated
A simple GUI addition like GOG provides would be the most ideal
I completely agree.
This downloads the whole game. He hardest would be waiting for download to finish for me.
Huh? That sentence doesn't make sense.
Yes it redownloads the whole game. Not a big deal.
I don't have gigabit network or a lot of disk space.
