## Updating Northstar

To update, simply follow the same process you used to install Northstar using the newest zipped release of Northstar. When copying the new files make sure to select "_Overwrite_".\
To update, first delete the core mods (`Northstar.Client`, `Northstar.Custom`, and `Northstar.CustomServers`) from `Titanfall2/R2Northstar/mods`.
Then, simply follow the same process you used to install Northstar using the newest zipped release of Northstar.\
When copying the new files, if prompted, make sure to select "_Overwrite_".\
Note that if you modified some files like `ns_startup_args.txt`, these will also be overwritten. If you want to keep the changes you made make sure to make a copy of these files beforehand and change them back after applying the update.
