How do I go back to the previous version of the client ?
If you have problems with the patch after upgrading the client version, then use this tool to revert back to the working version.
Outdated versions of PowerShell
If you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, there may be errors in the installation process due to an outdated version of NET Framework and PowerShell. Do the following:
- Upgrade to NET Framework 4.8
- Upgrade to WMF 5.1
- Reboot your PC
Note: For Windows 8 it is not possible to upgrade the PowerShell version, please upgrade to Windows 8.1 or 10
I want to return old icons
There is an answer here, if you do not like the new icons leave your comment there.
- SpotX will only work correctly on the latest versions of Spotify, please make sure of this before asking a question.
- The modifiable files are replaced by the Spotify installer every time it is updated, so you will need to apply the patch again when this happens.
- SpotX will be installed even if you are using Spicetify, but you may need to run Install.bat again after running the
spicetify apply
or other commands. - Where did all the stars of this repo go? 🤣
