Accessing 1.1.110 via Beta option on Steam after buying the Space Age expansion does not work

I've been trying to set the Beta to 1.1.110 to be able to load my old save games. However this doesn't seem to work. Even after selecting 1.1.110 beta (and Steam showing the game as "Factorio [1.1.110]") it still loads as 2.0.7 and when loading save games it does an upgrade of the save game files and shows 2.0 mechanics being active.

You also need to disable the Space Age DLC in the DLCs tab. Only then will it revert to 1.1.

Of course! I should have thought to turn of the DLC as well. Thank you :D

This is how Steam does it, it forces the DLC versions even onto the old branches and we haven't found a way to work around it. As an alternative you can always download old versions of the game from our website. You can log in with your Steam account.

Create empty DLC depot for 1.1.110 beta? Dirty, effective.
Some games have empty depots for whopping release versions for specific platforms and noone bats an eye.
