VIVE Cosmos Software Update 1.0.8.8 – Release Notes

Thank you for your continued support of VIVE Cosmos. Please continue to share your feedback via the Vive Cosmos forum.

**Must read before updating**

We discovered a bug that has a very small chance of bricking the headset during updates. This release will fix this for the future.

The software has been updated as of 12.6.19. To safely upgrade to 1.0.8.8, please unplug your Vive Cosmos from the Link Box/Converter before you trigger the update. You may plug it back in once the update is finished, which will trigger a firmware upgrade and complete the process.
