Version: 3.6.0

Updater Tab

Check for updates and install a version of VRCT in the Updater Tab of the Config Window. This one screen covers the release channel, the CPU or GPU build, and the version you install, including going back to an earlier version.

When a new version is available, the main window shows an update notice. Selecting it opens the same screen as a pop-up.

v3.6.0+

Choosing an earlier version is available from v3.6.0 onward. You cannot go back to a version earlier than v3.6.0 from this screen.

Current Status​

The top of the tab shows the version you are running and its release channel (Stable or Beta).
If you are on the latest version, a message says no update is needed.

Choose Version and Build​

Updater tab: current status and choices

Choose the setup you want to install.

  • Release Channel: Choose Stable or Beta.
    • Beta gives you early access, but it may be less stable.
    • Switching channels changes which releases future update notifications follow. A warning is shown when you switch.
  • Device build: Choose CPU or GPU (CUDA).
    • GPU (CUDA) can run faster on NVIDIA GPUs, but it needs about 5 GB of additional disk space and download.
  • Version to Install: Choose the release to install. The list shows releases on the channel you selected.
    • Choose a past release to downgrade. Config file compatibility is not guaranteed when you downgrade.
    • If no release is available on the selected channel, the list shows a message.

Use Check for Updates to refresh the list of releases.

Review the Change​

Before you install, a table compares the Current setup with the setup After install, so you can see what will change.

Warnings appear in these cases:

  • Downgrading to an earlier version
  • Switching to the GPU (CUDA) build, which needs additional download size
  • Switching the release channel
