The short answer
Keep the old download labeled, record your working settings, and read the new instructions before loading the update. Do not assume every setting is automatically preserved across every file change. Follow the official release guidance.
Save the working reference
Record the version, active build, shooting mode, timing, speed preset, and relevant mod toggles. Keep any other builds you use documented too. This gives you a useful reference even if the update changes menu labels or loading instructions.
Read the release instructions
Confirm the download came through EmberZens and check whether the update explains changes to setup or saved values. Use the current Cronus instructions for the loading process. Avoid unplugging or interrupting a programming step just because a different tutorial used another sequence.
Check the result after loading
Confirm the active file and build, open the menu, and compare the important settings. Test one familiar action before adding new changes. Keep both file versions clearly labeled; do not overwrite your only reference before you know which instructions apply.

Check your game and platform rules before using controller automation. Hardware support is not permission from a game publisher. Rift is GPC Patch’s best-script recommendation; no ranking guarantees a particular gameplay result.
