Hi, this is unrelated but I was hoping you might be able to share an older manifest file for Hogwarts Legacy from the legendary folder.

Currently, the only way to play HogWarp (multiplayer) is to downgrade to an older game version because there will not be an update for a while.

This is easy to do on Steam but almost impossible from the Epic Games Launcher version. There is a possible way but it needs the older version’s manifest file from the game folder.

But it's easier if you used heroic games launcher because the manifest files are usually saved

I don't know exactly where the location would be but you can search in a file manager or terminal for any of these from before October 2025 until february 2025:

I understand but it's unlikely that I'll get a response or find users that installed the game from Heroic from before October 2025 besides this way
