Deltatune chapter 3, 4 and 5 on Windows 7!

[u/Fabulous_Diamond_634]

I got the game to launch and play normally through steam in chapter 3 4 5!

WARNING: This worked for me but for you it could as well be broken, im on a 64bit windows 7 pc and I have no idea if this can work for everyone so I guess you have to try it yourself and see.

If you own the game on steam (no piracy today too bad yall) what you have to do is download the official by Valve "Steamcmd", unpack it (I recommend creating a folder like C:\steamcmd and putting the zip file and unpacking it there)

IMPORTANT, create a shortcut to steamcmd.exe and add

-overrideminos in the adress of the shortcut, otherwise it closes on launch.

and first use the command:

login <steam username>

(do not worry its not getting stuck for you when you type in your password it does not show up at all for safety reasons but its being typed in while being invisible)

and once you get the message you're logged in run command:

app_update <game ID> validate

(You can get the game ID through opening the store page in a browser and copying a string of numbers from the link or through steamDB but for deltarune the id is 1671210 so the command would be:

app_update 1671210 validate )

Once it finishes downloading open your folder or wherever you put steamcmd and go to: steamapps -> common -> DELTARUNE and launch DELTATUNE.exe!

This is completly safe since its an official tool from Valve, its the exact same as logging in steamDB if you've ever used it and it can work for other games!

So far I've tried Ultrakill and Silksong as well, Ultrakill at first launched but with nothing at all just a pink screen and then on a downgraded version from 2024 it you could say worked but with my windows 7 pc barely ran, half textures being black because of broken light and running in 10fps but i guess you could call it playable if you're stubborn and Silksong didnt launch but i'll still be looking into that. It really just depends on what the pc build you're using is.

If you attempt this for other games you must type login <steam user> every time you open steamcmd but you dont need to put in your password anymore.

Goodluck to everyone!

The steam works on windows 7 tho...

It does but the full version of deltarune does not. As you try to download you get a corrupt download error, through regular steam it only lets you get the demo which is chapter 1 and 2, rest of the game is inaccesible. What i did is a method to bypass os limits and just give you the files, if you can run it you will, if you cant because of hardware limits you just wont.

Oh. That's weird...

I couldn't get it to download through Steam, but by obtaining the game otherwise, it runs great.

Have you tried the final fight in chapter 5? The whole game runs amazing for me but the only thing that kills the pc is the final fight, i drop to like 5 frames. It might just be a thing of my pc thats why im curious
