After Downgrading

You can now launch Geometry Dash through Steam and optionally install Geode v5.11.2.

If Geometry Dash receives a new update, you will need to launch it through GeometryDash.app in the game's folder, or temporarily remove Locked from appmanifest_322170.acf to update Geometry Dash then follow this guide to downgrade it again.

To get back to 2.2091

Remove Locked from appmanifest_322170.acf, then right click Geometry Dash in Steam's sidebar. Click Properties, navigate to Installed Files, then click Verify integrity of game files.
