It is also possible to revert back to the prior version of the game using the Steam command console and depot download commands though it's a bit more cumbersome and they fixed a fair number of issues while also confirming that the unlisted changes of the hotfix were indeed intended to block acquisition of silver coins via "Third party program." hah.
Code: Select all
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/611h5e/guide_how_to_download_older_versions_of_a_game_on/
download_depot <appid> <depotid> [<target manifestid>] [<delta manifestid>]
So for this game it'd be this command.
Steam//open/console
(As a web URL, should open a new tab in the Steam client itself, -console as a command line launch argument also works.)

(Just a bunch of SteamDB links to Youngblood and it's depots and their manifest numbers for various patched versions of these as reference.)
download_depot 1056960 1056962 2980131851475252162 6557929629623585413
Delta between the first version and this latest patch but since the depot for the binaries are separated and not very large just using the first three values also works to download it all.
In this way reverting the exe file would get you back to 1.00 and a working CE table instead of waiting for a update.
(And as long as files are renamed or moved or otherwise backed up instead of replaced getting back to the patched version is a simple affair should a compatible CE table be posted.)
As for the patch changes they're here:

Crash Fixes
Fixed a crash that could occur if the player used Crush in specific areas of Riverside.
Fixed an issue causing frequent crashes on Windows 7 machines with high-end video cards. Previously, the game would crash if the player attempted to use the following resolutions:
3440x1440 borderless window
2560x1080 borderless window
2560x1080 fullscreen
This occurred primarily with Windows 7 users using GTX 1080 cards but may have affected other users as well.
AMD has released new drivers to resolve a crash that could occur on Radeon RX5700 series graphics products. Please update your drivers immediately.
Details can be found at: [Link]
For users experiencing the "Could not write crash dump" error:
“Could not write crash dump” is default messaging given when the game client crashes and could be caused by several reasons. If you are encountering this message, particularly when attempting to start the game, here are some things to look at:
Please verify that your PC meets the minimum specifications of the game, found here[bethesda.net].
Frequently, this error occurs due to old drivers or drivers that did not have a clean installation. (For example, users who upgraded to a video card from a different manufacturer without uninstalling their previous drivers.) Make sure you have the latest drivers, and it is recommended that you perform a clean install using tools such as Display Driver Uninstaller[[Link]].
If you still experiencing this issue and are using the latest drivers after a clean install with a PC that meets the minimum specs, please contact our support team at [Link] and provide your DXDiag and MSInfo. You can find instructions on how to create those here[help.bethesda.net].
Audio Fixes
Fixed an audio dropout issue that could occur when toggling the Kugelgewehr flashlight on and off. This audio dropout would persist until the game was restarted.
Fixed an issue that would occasionally cause sound effects to cut out when using the flashlight.
Reduced the frequency of an issue that caused a variety of audio issues (volume levels, dropouts, etc.) when killing multiple Nazis rapidly with the ElektroKraftWerk weapon.
Rebalanced several VO levels to bring them in line with the rest of the game.
Gameplay Fixes
Fixed an issue preventing Client players from picking up heavy weapon ammo from downed enemies if they had the Bigger Guns perk. All players with the Bigger Guns perk will now be able to pick up heavy weapon ammo dropped by enemies.
Resolved an issue that was causing Client players to do substantially more damage than higher-level Host players in co-op.
Fixed an issue where the “Lothar and Juju’s Trap” mission could become blocked if the player first completed the “Missing Partner” mission as a Client player.
Fixed an issue that could allow drones to spawn from drone towers even after players turned them off with the floppy disk code.
Art, Graphics, and User Interface Fixes
Fixed an issue that could cause objective markers for the “Destroy the Machines” mission to display in-world and on the minimap when the mission was not active.
Fixed an issue that was causing elevator buttons in the Tower 2 landing pad to flicker between displays, resulting in players sometimes choosing the wrong floor despite it appearing correct.
Fixed an issue where Lothar was missing teleport animations and visual FX for Client players.
Fixed some areas of missing fog that was affecting vistas.
Added a notification to warn players of poor network conditions.
Online Co-Op Fixes
Steam – Added the ability to use the Buddy Pass from the Escape menu while in-game, rather than having to be on the main menu to invite a Buddy.
Steam – Fixed an issue that could prevent Friends of a Host whose Steam profile is set to “Private” from seeing or joining their session.
Steam – Added additional notifications when a Steam user attempts to retrieve the friends list when their Steam profile is set to “Private.” Players will now be notified: “Could not retrieve your Steam Friends List. Please check the Privacy settings of your Steam Profile.”
Changed “Find Player” to “Find Bethesda.net Player” on the PC BNET dropdown to clarify flow for finding and inviting friends.
Achievements/Trophies and Game Completion Fixes
The “Revive” tutorial somehow went missing. We have added the tutorial back into the game and players can now complete the game to 100%.
Fixed an issue that was preventing some players from unlocking the “Partisan” achievement despite meeting the criteria.
Fixed an issue that was preventing Client players from completing the “Slide ‘n Shoot” challenge.
Miscellaneous Fixes
We previously released a hotfix that prevents users from using a 3rd-party application to cheat and add unlimited Silver Coins, Wolfenstein: Youngblood’s in-game earnable currency. This note is intended to clarify this fix.
EDIT: There, that should prevent the Reddit URL from trying to embed.
EDIT: Oh and yeah this works with everything on Steam but online games might require the latest version to connect to servers and it's not a entirely supported feature although I wish it was.
(Some devs use the beta opt-in tab to allow rollback but it's not very common.)
