Bug Fixes:

Known Issues:

  • Some NVIDIA GPU controllers may not work on Linux due to issues with NVIDIA's proprietary driver. The latest beta version of the driver should have a fix.
    • ASUS Aura 3xxx (ENE) GPUs
    • EVGA 3xxx GPUs
  • AMD GPU controllers do not work on Linux due to issues with AMD's amdgpu kernel driver.
  • Redragon M711 wave effect doesn't work
  • Some Corsair mice do not have specific LED labels
  • Some Razer keyboards are missing key maps
  • Asus Addressable number of channels may be incorrect

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. OpenRazer will likely be removed in the next release.
  • 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 plugins folder in this directory. Reopen OpenRGB and you can install new plugins from the settings tab.
