I stole this content directly from Leeson at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjN6-e3nlPE


Which I'm sure he took from the internet somewhere in the first place.



This is for Windows only because I wanted to show proof that it works and I would never sully my home by running MacOS. And also, too lazy to boot Linux.




Text tutorial:

1. Exit Steam.
2. Delete anything in Steam\package folder. Default location on a x64 machine will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\package
3. Extract Steam Old Client Packages .zip to Steam\package - do not try to do anything with the files, they look like archives but need to be moved as they are
4. Copy steam_client_win32 and steam_client_win32.manifest to Steam\package
5. Ctrl click both steam_client_win32 and steam_client_win33.manifest, then right click , Properties , Check the box for "Read Only".
6. Delete steam.cfg (if present) from Steam folder.
7. Launch steam, let it install update.
8. Steam will say that the update failed.
9. Launch Steam and now the old UI should appear.
10. Copy steam.cfg to Steam folder to prevent auto updates.
If this method fails read the pinned comment below the video for workaround methods.

To revert back to the latest Steam version at any time remove the steam.cfg file you placed in the tutorial.
