How do I rollback and downgrade the app version?

If you find yourself in need of downgrading your DRE version from the current, note this can only be done in the same “major” version like 2025.1.2 -> 2025.1.1.

Also, there may be a minimum version imposed, so it’s not possible to downgrade to too old versions.

To downgrade:

Open DRE
Go to Settings -> Updates
Check if it’s possible to downgrade from here. Look for this

Alternatively:

Open DRE
Disable automatic updates from Settings -> Updates
Close DRE
Download the downgraded version from this URL format below and install it.
1. https://www.thedigitalraceengineer.com/dl/VERSIONTODOWNLOAD
2. For example https://www.thedigitalraceengineer.com/dl/2025.1.18
3. Copy and paste this into a new browser tab address field and hit enter
Enjoy the older version
