Desktop Updates

April 15th, 2022

Crowd Control 6.2.0 is now released! We’ve fixed a few bugs with some options not showing the correct values, but also added additional features for Lobbies, Channel Rewards, and the option to play a SFX when an effect is triggered!

You’re now able to attach your session to your own channel if you’re doing a race on another channel. Meaning your community can still influence your game while you’re being streamed on the main race channel.

Channel Rewards allows you to create channel point rewards on your channel that can trigger effects directly. Check out the guide for more information on that.

With the ability to set your own SFX when an effect is triggered, you’ll be more alert when an effect that might not be noticeable is now triggered. You’ll need to bring your own SFX for this feature, but we’re sure you have plenty of ideas in mind already!

Find more info on all the features of a CC Lobby here!


New Twitch Auth Scopes

Jan 25th, 2022

You may have noticed that you needed to give us a bit more access to your Twitch channel recently. Twitch is currently forcing older applications off of their V5 API to a new one and with that it requires a few scope changes. So while some scopes being asked for are similar to others, those will be removed after the transition of APIs is completed.

Additionally, you may have noticed a few new scopes for a few other features on Twitch. Instead of having our users go through this whole process again we’re setting up for some exciting updates that we hope to share some news on soon! As always if you have any questions feel free to reach out to us on our Discord!


Skyrim Special Edition Anniversary Edition Support!

Jan 14th, 2022

We have revamped our Skyrim pack to include over 100 new effects, 35 of those being spawns!

The best of both worlds!
