Downgrade tool for Among Us

this repository contains a script that is used by epic players to download a older version of among us during times when mods are uncompatible with the latest version of the game. The third party tool legendary is used.

Common issues

1. The script may sometimes not create EpicGamesStarter.exe or it may not work due to your computer environment
   Solution:
   • Download the exe from here.
     
   • If it does not work download the cmd file in the releases tab, place that with the legendary.exe, use that to start the game.
2. The script may instantly close.
   Solution:
   • search powershell in your windows search bar and open it
     
   • navigate to the folder the script is in, by doing for example cd downloads or cd desktop
     
   • write Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process and click enter
     
   • write ./DowngradeEpic.ps1 and click enter
     
3. "Access to the path '<>' is denied" / "No write access to '<>' ".
   solution: If the error mentions Legendary.exe it means it cannot find the file and it likely wasnt able to be downloaded. Install it manually here. If it mentions the path it is installing Among us to you may have to do this:
   • open legendary.exe from the folder the script is
   • write legendary uninstall 963137e4c29d4c79a81323b8fab03a40 --keep-files and click enter
   • retry the powershell script
4. Variations of "Invalid credentials, Please login again".
   Solution:
   • open legendary.exe from the folder the script is
   • write legendary auth --delete and click enter
   • write legendary auth and click enter
5. "the game 963137e4c29d4c79a81323b8fab03a40 could not be found, did you spell it correctly?"
   Solution:
   • the current signed in account does not have Among Us then which may occur from having multiple epic accounts
   • follow guidance from number 4 above and login to the account that has the game
6. "curl (35)Next initializeSecurityContext failed" or similar
   Solution:
   • Anitivirus is blocking a download so turning it off will fix it

Extra Note: number 3 may also occur because of antivirus quarantining legendary so you may want to turn it off temporarily if youve tried downloading it manually
