If you are using steam and don't want automatic updates, change your steam setting for updates to to manual instead of automatic.



We would like to remind everyone to make sure to do the following steps before updating to ensure that when the update happens so your changes won’t be overwritten:

• Make a backup of your project.

Should any error occur with your project in 1.6.1 Make sure to downgrade your RPG Maker MV and use the backup version. DO NOT OPEN your 1.5.2 below project with RPG Maker MV 1.6.1 if you have no backups!

Now for the update process.

• Backup your game! This is important!
  
• Make a backup of your Generator folder if you edited it.

Create a new project or go to the NewData folder in your RPG Maker MV root (where MV is installed) folder. Copy the following items and replace the ones in your existing project:

• Copy the file "index.html" and "package.json" from NewData to your project
  
• Copy the files libs folder, "rpg_*.js" (e.x. rpg_core) files from NewData/js to your project js folder
  
• Do not replace your plugins.js !
  
• Done!

If RPG MAKER MV 1.6.1 is not working for you, you can downgrade anytime through the Betas Tab in Properties.
