Where can I download the new files?

As always, all files can be found on the Downloads Section of our website.

How do I install these files for my controller client?

For VRC users, the file name is kept the same as the previous file. Therefore, simply extract the ZIP file and overwrite the *.sct2 file. No change to any profile is required. For EuroScope, vSTARS and vERAM users, there is a README file available in the Controller Pack. It describes how to install and setup the new files.
