While LavaGang continues working to get MelonLoader compatible with the new v34 update, this is a temporary fix to allow people to more easily continue playing on v33 in the meantime (and in similar situations like this in the future).

Changes:

  • Disables the mandatory Popup that forces you to update, so that you can keep playing
  • Doing the above will disable Mod Helper's saving fixes to prevent data corruption

If you've already updated to v34, here is a way you can downgrade:

  1. Copy/paste the following into your web browser search bar and allow it to open Steam to access the console: steam://nav/console
    • This can sometimes take a couple seconds to open
  2. Copy in the command download_depot 960090 960091 8819303902483866961 to download the files for v33
    • There will be no progress indicator, so just let it run for a minute or two
    • When it's finished it'll say "Depot download complete: (path it downloaded to)"
  3. Optional but recommended: create a copy of your ...\Steam\steamapps\common\BloonsTD6 folder as backup
  4. Copy (not move) the newly downloaded game files from ...\Steam\steamapps\content\app_960090\depot_960091 into the
    normal game directory ...\Steam\steamapps\common\BloonsTD6, telling it to replace the existing files
    • If you copy instead of move you can leave the base files there to copy again if Steam ever auto-updates on you
    • To help prevent auto-updating, you can go into the Steam properties page for BloonsTD6 and switch the Updates -> Automatic
      Updates option to "Only update this game when I launch it"
  5. Run the game as before, and noticed the inescapable Update popup is replaced with a quite escapable one about Mod Helper
    disabling saving

This is a stop gap measure until MelonLoader is fixed, so please do not annoy staff in the Discord servers trying to get help with this. Depending on how much you've already been playing v34 on your account, your profile may not be reconcilable with v33 anymore one way or another, and this change will just let you know that for sure.
