Notes:
-
Due to changes in device names, existing profiles you have saved from previous versions may not work and will need to be recreated. Same goes for saved addressable controller sizes.
-
If upgrading from a release prior to OpenRGB 0.6, it is recommended to disable OpenRazer or OpenRazer-win32 in the settings. This allows use of the new Razer controller with better device support.
-
Due to plugin versioning change, you may have to delete your old plugins manually before OpenRGB will install new ones. To do this, go to the Settings tab, under General Settings click Open Settings Folder. Close OpenRGB, then delete the
pluginsfolder in this directory. Reopen OpenRGB and you can install new plugins from the settings tab.
